  • For Midwesterners, check out American Science and Surplus. Same premise: cheap stock of electronics and science gadgets and parts!

  • Looks like heaven to me. When I lived in Portland, we had Wacky Willy's, which was a huge place with this kind of stuff. Sadly, it's closed now...although my wallet is fuller and my garage doesn't have so much weird stuff in it.
  • Man oh man do i love going to Active.. if only there was something like that for us over in Ottawa, sure we have bits and pieces but nothing like Active
  • The SF Bay Area equivalent is Weird Stuff:

  • Ok, this may be a minor thing, and perhaps you changed the name on purpose, but it is spelled RadioShack, no space.
  • There is a store something like this (even has the box of random arms and legs!) in St. Paul MN called ax-man surplus
    the people there really have a sense of humor, every item is tagged with a goofy description
