  They had major clearances and relaunch of target market this month, no 
doubt going to more profitiable items than hobbiest stuff.  Had tons of 
good clearance deals that even the employees didn't know the new prices 
too, should have seen the look on the guys face when my last of the $129 
DVI cables rang up for only $12, not bad for high quality local.
