"They say brand new and unused - but that's just not possible at that price."

I just picked up 500 LM555s from RadioShack - 50 cents for the entire batch.

They weren't joking when they said "No Offer Refused" for their closeout.

You could probably have gotten the stand they were displayed on for only another $5.

I remember the Circuit City liquidation - the prices were insane. But it was also sort of sad.
