They are a good source for some really oddball stuff.

I've been there many times, but they'd never let me roam the areas behind the long counter or in the back rooms to see what's back there. I asked to browse through their flybacks and yokes-no, couldn't let me do that. I had to tell them specifically what I wanted, and they'd go back to see if they had them. I wanted to see their variety of interlock (cheater) cords. They brought out a few different to show me. I asked about right angle ones, varieties with and without ears, etc. Each time they went backed and grabbed a few more to show me. Would have been much easier if they would have just walked me into the back and showed me where they were. On one visit about 15 years back I did buy a large amount of ferrite bar antennas and variable caps for projects (that never got started).

Probably because you're not as charming as this videos tour guide. That and they probably knew if you seen it you'd want to buy it all. Thanks for posting the video, I had no idea and really enjoyed it.
