Who doesn't love a good deal?
If you do, it's time to head on over to your local RadioShack. The iconic retailer is now selling the last of its remaining office supplies as part of a liquidation process brought by a bankruptcy filed in March, and everything must go.
RadioShack is peddling pretty much everything it still owns, including some very questionable items like these waterlogged clipboards (for only 50 cents!) and a giant 50 gallon trash can that frankly has no business being anywhere except for a suburban mall. Still, it's super cheap, so why not pick one up if you have the space for it?

Bankruptcy :P They were like Radio Shack but worse. They used to bag up single components (single LED's and IC's) and sell them for massive markups, which they could do in the '80s when there was no other high street retailer. They'd also sell rebranded imported electronics; games, stereos and computers. Maplin sprung up to replace them and impressively had the parts I asked for last time I was in there (about 4 years back). Businesses who need a component 'now' use RS Components (started as Radio Spares -- nothing to do with Radio Shack) who have a decent catalogue and trade counters around the UK.
