I had not heard! I haven't been there in years, and TBH, when I did go, it always took a long time to find specific items on my shopping list because their assortment was so vast. The last time I remember going, I had specific sizes of metric fasteners I needed to complete a 3D Printer. I think I spent 2 hours walking up and down the aisle checking bins. I picked up about 60% of what I was looking for, but it was all oddball long items that I couldn't get from the well-stocked fastener places in town. M3 over 36mm is tricky to find, let's just say. It was a fantastic place to just browse, though. If you didn't have a list and had 3 hours to kill, you could stumble on some amazing things. Right now, I'm wishing I had even an hour to browse for switches and capacitors. -ethan
