One thing I always found weird about Radio Shack was that, even though ham radio was a lynchpin of hobby electronics, Radio Shack never sold ham radio gear. I mean, they'd sell you a 10-pack of resistors for $1 but they would never sell a transceiver or antenna -- which I think would have been much higher margin than those resistors.
