It's taken them about 25 years of hard work to get Dick Smith
Electronics where it is today. So, have they finally succeeded in
destroying it completely?
It's all supply, demand and planned obselesance. The aren't as many
hobbyist's around, less tradies. Sydney used to have at least three devoted
radio and electronic component shops. Now zilch. Even low end components eg;
iron elements, kettle elements etc are difficult to obtain..............
Yes, and where they are available, I will bet that the entire kettle,
iron etc is probably much the same price to buy new as the part.

I was surprised that Dickies held out as long as it did with component
sales. I expected them to disappear years earlier.
True for the comment from Jaycar employee, though you will also likely
still have places like WES, Farnell, RS and so on for some time yet.
Taking it further, when the market further declines for parts, it will
likely boil down to being offshore firms such as Digi Key, Mouser etc
or equivalents.

Almost as silly as Kaspersky Lab and the Melbourne Aussie Rules

Could be wrong, but would bogans (which the majority of footy fans
seem to be) buy anything from Jaycar other than those novelty fart
type products ? I guess they might buy speakers and stuff like that ?
