For what it's worth ...

I'm always in the market for a great deal, and I'd gladly buy used,
non-critical gear to save a few dollars. You may want to contact local pawn
shops and take their aviation gear (scanners, etc) on consignment. It would
attract me, and possibly a few other 'bargain' hunters. The used or
consignment rack is where I immediately go to in a camera shop.

Just a thought ...

I would add earplugs to the list. Unlike Crispy, I'm a pilot shop junkie,
so
I *would* stop and browse, possibly for a long time. Usually I buy things
like books, hats, magazine, and such. Oh yeah, and license plates ("My
other
car is an airplane..."). Rarely expensive stuff. Not sure I've seen a
pilot
shop that carries snacks and drinks, but I suspect lots of people would
buy
those.

One thing I've never seen in an airport pilot shop that I think would be a
cool idea: postcards (especially if they show the airport) and stamps.
Since I don't have custody of my kids, when I'm flying somewhere (other
than when I fly up to visit them) I like to send them a postcard from the
destination. Usually I end up borrowing the FBO's crew car to go into
town to buy a postcard.
