[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"

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.

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

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


RIP.

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.
