erco ,,LOL. The radio shack deal was my best score ever. Of course after getting home and looking a my pile of electronics gadgets I still need to figure out what I am actually going to build.
I could use some discount creativity.
P.S I will never forget you guys lol I need to much help for all of you.
For the rfid sensor, I'm leaning toward garage door opener. I have a keypad driven system there now, but the keypad cover was busted off so the keypad is always weather exposed (somewhat). And one of the keys is "wearing out" so that device is on my "hit list" . Still thinking about the light sensor, but I'm thinking of exterior accent lights in the back yard, but still mulling that one around some.
Excellent, picked up two last night. Now I can finally finish my RFID garage door opener. (I didn't want to use my only RFID reader for it)
On a side note, I will be checking another Radio Shack tonight to see if I can get more I now have 4 to offer up on the forums at the shack price of $9.97. Figure there are a few people that don't have a shack near them that would like to get in on this deal. Should be less than $2 to mail, so I will start another thread for them at $12. Have to figure out a way to "ration" them out.
zapp: thanks, I got one last month, same price. Neat little robot! I still have a full-sized Spykee ($99 woot deal) I haven't even opened up yet! So many robots, so little time & space! [noparse]:)[/noparse] Good problem to have.

If you need the Parallax RFID reader, now is the time to check your local Radio Shack. They are on clearance. Check your local store for RS sku # 276-0032.

Thanks for the heads up! I just picked one of these up (the only one) tonight as well as a few light to frequency converters at the Radio Shack near Manassas Park, VA. That saves me from having to make the DIY RFID reader using the prop, so I can finally use the card I got at UPENE last year [noparse]:)[/noparse] . I might swing by the RS by work to pick up another RFID reader if they have any left.
Each store will sell out individually. One may be out, the next may have a dozen. If you live in an area like LA, there's a Radio Shack every mile and it's much easier to track them down.

RFID Reader availability update! I purchased the RFID Reader (276-0032) for $9.99 at this location in Los Angeles: northwest corner of Pico and Robertson. This was the last RFID Reader at this location.The store clerk was very attractive and I hope she never finds out what I said about Radio Shack yesterday. I will compliment them for keeping a very neat and orderly parts drawer selection. Shame on Fry's Electronics for their explosion of scattered and misplaced inventories!

I just picked up the last two of these at my local Radio Shack. They were $8.47 each! What a deal! I can't believe that they were still in the drawer at that price!

Hello!
Same here. I bought the last two at that price from a RS store in Forest Hills Queens.
And again I just bought two more from a store in Rego Park.
Nice batch of crewpeople there, I would say to this individual who's somewhere between 900 and 47 going on 48, the women looked out of place......
