The Pro's Closet at it again

[charliedid]

[QUOTE=AngryScientist;3432218]Well,

It's sad to see them go, but you can't argue that they ran a successful business for a good stretch. Good for them.

"Everything dies baby, that's a fact"

-Bruce Springsteen.

Of course the next line in that lyric is "But maybe everything that dies someday comes back"

Atlantic City is my #1 Boss song.....

On the TPC topic, scrolling through their history they had such a sweet spot being a small, one building operation with an extra warehouse. They were good at that, it was manageable.

The Pro Closet Liquidation of everything was in their warehouse.

The Hold Steady did a good cover of that song as well

On topic: If I buy that floor scrubber how long do you think it would take me to ride it back to NJ?

Damn, that's a quick turnaround on the liquidation.

I just took delivery of a bike from them last Friday.


RIP.

so did The Band

Looking at the warehouse auctions really shows the time, effort and dollars it takes to set up a business like this in addition to the product being sold.

You are still too young and fit for electric assistance, Hank.

[kppolich]

Damn, look at all that 'stuff' that a used bike reseller had to have....yikes.

What a bunch of crazy equipment.

Rolling EVT stands
Fullsize cleaning stations
Photo equipment
Old GMC delivery van
They're even selling 4 cans of Duster in a single lot, and people are bidding!

The creepiest might be a white board, with business meeting notes still written on it:

I wonder what you can get off the hard drives.

[herb5998]

crazy deals on the EVT stuff on other tools, but I'm sure they'll be gobbled up locally since it's only pickup.

[unterhausen]

I'm curious how they used the evt stands on roller bases. I don't think I would be too happy with one of those, and they far outnumber the ones with no base.

After looking thru the auction inventory and seeing the 8 Gucci parts washers I can almost kinda see how they burned thru 80 million dollars in like 3-4 years. It was probably a lot of work

They went high dollar on everything they did and I guess it was glorious. Personally, 80 million should go for at least a few decades of decadence. Disappointed there wasn't a jet or a helicopter, just a couple trailers

The MBA scribble on that whiteboard is kinda funny

There will be a few more victims of the current market. We have a pool, I put my money on Jamis
