I used to look at that magazine all the time and daydream πŸ˜‚

Loved radio shack used to just wonder around and dream as well.

Yup and I got all my cell phones there

Such a cool store. It’s too bad it went out of business

It was. I guess it is just the way of things.

Yeah. Got outpaced by Amazon or something else I guess

First Best Buy ate RadioShack and then Amazon ate Best Buy.

Yeah, that is what happened.

I wonder how Amazon gets conquered

Something Chinese. Bigger and cheaper maybe?

Temu πŸ˜‚

Is the quality any good on that one? πŸ˜‚

I have yet to try it. I honestly don’t even wanna buy from Amazon anymore because the quality has gone downhill so bad on like everything

Noooo temu is scam city.

AliExpress is legit though. Shipping might take awhile, but I've bought lots from it.

I won’t try either of them. As someone who is trying to downsize not add to possessions, I have no need for cheap plastic fuckery

It's basically Amazon minutes one layer of markup. The Amazon sellers buy from Ali to sell to people who don't know about Ali, making some profit along the way. I buy electronics there for projects. Often it ships from the factory. Gotta cut out that middleman stealing your money.

Brutal. A lot of the stuff I see on Amazon is from Chinese sellers

Yup and everything is thin plastic even the clothes

Plastic everywhere. Damn

Yeah I can tell. I was searching for shirts the other day and it was all brands with a name like β€œhv63bfA” and I’m like β€œwhere is all the normal stuff?”

I still can't buy clothes online. Whoever measures pants is a goddam liar I tell you. I need to test them πŸ˜‚

I’m to lazy to try things on so all my clothes are sweatpants and t shirts lol

I wish. My bane is finding men's jeans that fit. 36"x30"? No problem 30"x36"? GFY!

#tallguyproblems

Bahaha yeah women have it easier. We usually just have the one size for width and the height is β€œpetite, average, or tall”

Agreed. That’s where I got the handheld console that emulates everything, a few years ago. Shipping was slow but it got here eventually

Lots of fun toys like that there for sure. China DGAF about copyrights.

Exactly πŸ˜‚

What’s funny is that I found a similar one for my kid on Amazon. Came with all the games. Seems illegal here πŸ‘€πŸ€£

Nintendo is trying hard to make it more illegal πŸ˜‚

Perhaps Nintendo needs to vooooot harder 🀣🀣🀣

Moooore Laaaawyers πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚

You have to be super careful now. So much junk

Amazon is basically temu already. It’s stupid

True

🀣

πŸ˜‚

Crazy! Amazon is pretty big 🀣

Amazon is huge πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚

Almost forgot about Best Buy πŸ˜‚

Last I went to Best Buy about 8 years ago there was nobody there. πŸ˜‚

The last time I was in a Best Buy, I was a teenager and ran there from the movies next door because I had bad diarrhea and couldn’t let my date know

I don’t understand why they don’t go full online business and skip brick and mortar. They would make way more money

πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Makes sense to me

Bahaha my dad would take me there just so I could play. I especially likes those remote control robot bug thingys πŸ˜‚

Those were awesome. All the remote control stuff πŸ˜‚

I miss that store

Also what’s how I was with the airplane magazine. I forget what it’s called, but it had awesome stuff and I don’t see them anymore

Yeah that was cool. Everything seemed so expensive
