from the think-stuff dept.

I remember when ThinkGeek was in its hey day and often chortled on seeing some of the items on offer. It looks like there are some major changes under way. Their web site is moving under the web site of parent company GameStop. Physical store locations for ThinkGeek will remain open. Selected items will remain available in GameStop stores. Orders from ThinkGeek on or after June 13th, 2019 are final sales -- no returns.

As part of this transformation, there is currently a 50% off everything sale at https://www.thinkgeek.com/

I must confess I had not visited their site in years. What has your experience with them been like?

    A few years ago, they sent me an email telling me what a great discount I could get if I used up my "Geek points". It would require that I buy a certain amount of stuff. Since ThinkGeek T-shirts had formed such a large part of my wardrobe in the past, I was willing to give it a try.

    Couldn't find anything. Just media related items, no Linux stuff, no science stuff. What little that was actually interesting in their online catalog was all sold out.

    Haven't been back.
