I use to work for Radio Shack (Thank goodness I quit, but I miss playing with all the toys and gadgets). Anyway, they can check the inventories of other local stores by computer or if you are pretty good with an employee, they can call Fort Worth Texas headquarters and check nationwide.

They probably won't have the Frs tranfered to their store because they lose profits on discontinued items, but make the purchase by phone to the other store and have it shipped to wherever.

Hope it helps.
