Easy Tiger Model going out of business?

Looks like Curtiz was back. Some wondered why but pretty clear. Business is down and it's hard to sell from his site whilst the google searches turns up what they do. BBB rating is perfect to. He can't do business here or RCU or other good sights. Worst yet is his involvement in the other site that shant be named only going to get worse too. He probably heard from Bob at the WRAM show, theres a move to drop him from the vendor list. can't be good for any business when people are protesting outside. NEAT won't be so neat either. Looks like the oct shippments from supplier may be the last.

and that is before the class action gets rolling. Can only tweak those people so much before bugs get crushed.

Even though this company is out of business, I guess we are not allowed to talk about that because we are rivals. Sorry.

There is not unlimited free advertising here, there are very strict rules, I have found out.
The new website is supposed to be up tomorrow, same address as the old, www.applehobby.com.

Gohmer, I went to go look at your website, since I collect Kershaw knives, and it says your website has been suspended. Is there a new website I can look at?

Looks like it will be a Happy New Year! From his comeback to rcgroups, he says he picked up a few new customers, but no sales. I originally thought, a customer, was a person that actually bought something? Funny stuff! LOL

I guess you found that out in post#2. Was your previous business, Big Apple Hobby?

No, I do not know anything about Big Apple Hobby. I picked applehobby.com as the name because of the success of Banana Hobby.

Thank you. We are learning a lot along the way, that's for sure. Sales have been OK, not as much as we hoped so far, but I think a lot of people got frustrated from the slow website. Will be fixed soon.
