I'll believe it when I see it. I'll bet they will continue to be poorly stocked, their web site will continue to claim parts in stock that are not (and vice versa), their staff will continue to claim that they don't have stuff that they do have (and vice versa), and what stock they do have will continue to be mostly hung on the wrong pegs.
And they will continue to try to sell bog-standard LEDs for two bucks apiece.
In a way this is not their fault. Given the vast number of parts a DIY electronics store needs to supply, the vast majority of them being "long tail", low-margin items that demand the lowest-overhead-possible business model (i.e. not shelf space in a walk-in store), I don't think they can compete with the likes of Adafruit, Sparkfun, and "new line" distributors like Mouser and Digikey, and the reinvented Newark.
And eBay if you don't mind waiting a bit for dirt cheap parts and subassemblies from China.
Heck... in the U.S. at least, even Amazon is a viable source of lots of DIY electronics parts these days, especially if you have Prime.
