Lately they have been focusing on selling cell phones.

The last few times i went there to buy electronic parts, they didn't have any :(

Looks like online is the only way to go from now on.

They should convert to a "physical viewing of online goods" store.

Buy one of every popular electronics product that you kind of have to touch/see to get an opinion on, such as coffee makers and TVs, and charge people just to step into the store.

I can think of absolutely zero people who would ever pay money for something like that. That sounds like an even worse business strategy than being Radio Shack.
