The only hope I’ve had near me is Microcenter. Only place I’ve seen in ages where I can walk out with at least some resistors and sensors but the selection can be…eh on some items.
I keep thinking about checking one out, but nearest is 42 miles away and their prices are not competitive. I miss Fry's.
Never had the chance to see a Fry’s but yeah, a number of things that I’d desperately need on short notice are overly marked up.
Then again, I guess I’d take a markup than waiting a few days for shipping if I’m on the cusp of finishing a project.
I miss Fry's too. Got so much cool stuff there before online shopping was safe and convenient.
But they totally dropped the ball. The weird disconnect between their brick and mortar store and their online store, the constant out of stocks that was the norm, even over a decade ago. Not to mention the "sticker of death" on all the returned product they put back on the shelf.
