RobertKB Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 People get old. No one to take over. Not enough business. These could be the causes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonstop Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 It is a shame though, I enjoyed dealing with them! On a side note, Scarebird is closing up shop as well. I have done a lot of business with them as well and always had a good experience with them. Damn shame is what it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBNeal Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I know of several specialty shops in my area that have closed because of owner retirement due to health (failing vision, bad back, arthritis the main culprits) ...owners tried to sell, but no takers as overhead costs outweighed business volume...one machine shop mostly scrapped his equipment because most was quite old and well worn, too expensive to repair properly...tis a durn shame but that's the business side of the hobby industry.

Tooljunkie Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 I sent vic an e-mail. Retiring. Was a great guy to deal with.We talked a couple years ago about distributing parts out of canada, but with covid and freight costs it just wouldnt be feasable. would have been a nice little niche for me. to source parts, obtain vendors and achieve discounts to make it a viable business in today’s economy, near impossible. I wish him well in his retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
