My hope is that Amazon buys out Radio shack and rebrands the stores as "Amazon Outlet Stores" where they could sell Kindles and various Amazon Essential items and provide a customer pickup option such as Best Buy already has at its stores.

Since it appears that Amazon is throwing in the towel on not collecting/charging customers state sales taxes, so now they can be open to having their own line of retail stores.

Since RSH trades at a very low valuation (below book value) it doesn't cost them much and they can even afford to over pay using their over priced AMZN stock instead of cash.

I agree Motley Fools valuation is extremely positive. Buyouts are usually some multiple of EBITDA( I like pessimistic range of 5-8X).

I like RSH at these levels my only concern is there no clear catalyst. A buyout is highly optimistic thinking.
