Thread: Radio Shack: Home of the 2,400% Markup

I used to buy parts there 30 years ago and they would try any type of bull to make the sale.Listening to them in at least one instance would have lead to a house fire. Fortunately, the average high school electronics student knew more than they did back then. I imagine it's even worse now.

Unless it was the same brand (and I highjly doubt it was.) then it was not a straight up lie.

Even though they set ***** prices, it's still not RadioShack's fault its salesman lied to the customer's face. That being said, I agree that it's a dick move to go back and bitch to the salesman.

Our monster cable is faster AND gold plated. You can even flaunt it around like a gold chain if you like.

Computers at best buy were only only marked up 7% On sale they sold at 5% over store cost. They made more money selling you a printer cableand a PSP. the real CRAZY markups were in Audio. Speakers and audio components are often marked 100% I remember a while back they had these giant amped speaker towers. They were 1000 bucks each. With the BB empl discount they were under 500 bucks each. I was able to get a 100cd disc changer half off for my...

WHO THE ***** STILL LISTENS TO RADIOS??!!?!?!!

XD!

You should try to avoid making typos yourself when being a smart ass about others' typos. Also, you might want to consider at least attempting appropriate capitalisation or punctuation.

i work at futureshop and yes we get the printer cables for under 2 bucks but its not the same cost for a monster cable @ 150 we get those for like 20-30 dollars but still alot of mark up. But thats were we make the store money because core products like computers/tv's are discounted where we are making very little if not loosing money. so we could drop the price of cables and jack the price of tv's up.

Giggity.
