I'm wondering how much longer there'll be a Sears. (I worked in one when I was much younger; I only shop there a few times a year now, and can't remember the last time I looked at, or for, its electronics section.)

Lol, yeah that should have been the question-- do you still have a local Sears? My answer: no, it went out of business here about 15 years ago.

Most people use their cellphones as their cameras nowadays.

The one near my parents closed down recently.

The Sears in my town does still have an electrics section. It is smaller though than it used to be. They started putting clearance plates, cutting boards and other random discounted kitchen wares over there. Weird stuff to put over there, methinks, but whatever.

Back when I was a kid you could go to Sears and buy concert tickets and even a bag of popcorn. I hope our local Sears stays open. They are the only place around here I will buy appliances. They have great warranty options and people who will come to your house to do maintenance/repairs. Plus they tend to be a bit cheaper for better quality products. It will bum me out if the Sears around here closes.

I have no idea about the Electronics Department----I'm surprised the Sears, near me, is still open. The last time I was there (YEARS, ago), I needed a flashlight, and it's closer than Wal-Mart, on the bus.

I really wish that Sears wouldn't go outta business, cuz I'm a HUGE fan of "Black and Decker"----my drill's, maybe, 15 years old, and still goin' strong----but, I guess one can buy B&D online; but, I like to really look-at / HOLD stuff, to decide.

The Sears in my area still has a large electronics section. They still have things like TV's and Blu-Ray players. I don't go there a lot, because their prices aren't as good as places like Target and Walmart.
