[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Crewdog I thought this was bad news a couple days ago, but upon further reflection, there may be a silver lining in this cloud. If it is true that Horizon only sells to honest-to-goodness, retail-storefront hobby shops, then the guys working out of their garage or basement with a lap top and a phone line will not be getting Athearn products anymore. [/quote] My legitimate hobby shop, who has a clean store with good parking, who doesn't sell at swap meets or train shows and who proudly pushed Athearn products for 20 years would love to be an authorized dealer, but can't afford Horizon's extortion fees. A couple years before the Atheran sale, Horizon cancelled his account because they never had anything in stock worth selling to his customers. So much for loyalty and small hobby shops.
