We have a local RS and, while our business isn't exactly enough to keep them profitable, I'd miss them for the occasional widget they always have when we needed something on short notice (adapters, converters, replacements when a FitBit died, etc.) Last year we were in Ketchikan, due to board a ship in 3 hours, and DH dropped his camera and it refused to work. I had an iPhone camera and a good SLR that had always held a charge for months- except now. It was dead and I didn't have the charger. We were about to do a 7-day cruise in a spectacularly beautiful area with an iPhone camera.
I found that there was a RS within walking distance of the port (thanks, iPhone!). They sold us a charger that was similar to the demo model that they said would work with my camera, and a Nikon Coolpix camera. (I'd owned one before- small, portable, much better than the iPhone and less disastrous if lost or dropped overboard).
The charger didn't work (we returned it to our local store for a refund) but the Coolpix gave us a lot more great memories of the trip.
