But I think it's 100X markup on specialized batteries that keeps them going really.

Right on.
That store never even enters my mind when it comes to electronics (unless I was in the market for a $40 RC car), but it's the first thing that comes to mind when, say, the power adapter for my Sega Game Gear or the cord for my Hot Lips phone craps out. And if I ever needed new rabbit ears for my TV, I don't know if they have them, but they'd be the first place I go.
