I was told the same from a employee at a Radio Shack by me. I don't think 
they have a chance against bestbuy, but we'll see.
People are going to have find another source for strobes.

I sure hope that's an ugly rumor but fear the worst. I've never
understood how they make a profit from selling the stuff they stock in
the stores, considering the relatively high inventory and low average
turnover. Prices are a lot hight than places like Mouser and Digikey,
but they have it where you want it and when you want it and price is
usually secondary for impulse buyers.
