I can't believe Radio Shack is selling these Universal remote controls for over a $100. Whoever pays that much for a remote control is out of the mind. The highest I'm paying for a universal remote is $15.

Me too. I would never pay that much for a remote. Some people are just lazy I guess. I remember the TV we had when I was a kid had no remote. We had to walk up and turn a dial to get the channel we wanted.

Same here. I have an universal remote but it's only in case I lose the other TV remote I have...:) And like CheersChild, I got mine for $5 and it works just fine. :D

I had one of those. Always reliable.

For 100 bucks, a universal remote control had better control the universe.

Why bump up a thread from 20 years ago concerning a retailer that's been GONE since 2015?
