Let me tell you a story I just contrived:

I was in need of an NTE3143 3mm Orange diffused LED. Instead of getting it from Mouser(or any other electronics parts warehouse), I impulsively went to the Radio Shack in my neighborhood. It just so happened that they carried that particular LED. I ended up buying it. When I returned home, I discovered that Squadron was selling the HB M1070 HET for $49.99 each. I was overcome with excitement as I added three of them babies to my shopping cart. I entered my card info and completed the order. BUT, I was soon disappointed. My order was not completed because the CC issuer declined the purchase due to my card maxing out by 68 cents. The cost of that stinkin' Orange LED I bought at Radio Shack. I was forced to swallow my pride and order only two M1070's. From that ignominious day, I vowed never to be taken in by the insidious Radio Shack Corporation again.
