It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

I'm not sure. I'm reading they went bankrupt and were sold. I think there's a store still operating near here. I'll have to ask Sugarbutt.  :orly:

Would be interesting to see. We had Dick Smith Electronics which was probably the equivalent to Radio Shack. The local store has closed down though.

We had Tandy here, but they all closed down years ago. I still have a Realistic branded passive mic mixer and a few of their headphone adaptors.

Radio Shack sold the Realistic Concertmate MG-1 synthesizer, which was designed and manufactured by Moog. I don't know how much they go for these days, but the buy it now prices for them on eBay are getting pretty silly.

Dad and I try to sell random stuff here and there on Ebay. Only time we got lucky was when we auctioned an unknown Nun Doll that we nicknamed "Sister Mary Elephant".

Sister Mary Elephant is what I call black lace up flat shoes for women.

I used to wear them (flat feet), but now I wear athletic shoes almost exclusively.  I lead a very casual life style now.
