Has anyone heard of them?

I found a discontinued item on their site at a reasonable price.  After putting it in the cart there is a message that checkout is currently disabled.  Elsewhere on the site it says it is down for maintenance.

Before calling them I was hoping someone could confirm that it is not a scam.

No addresses, no searches return anything other than their own site, and that's not even the right area code for Savannah. 

Draw your own conclusion

935 Territorial Rd W

Battle Creek, MI 49015-2929

 

This is the address listed on BBB website. Google earth shows a music store at that location. Could be an old streetview, tho.

Is this a model railroad related item?

They seem to be primarily R/C cars, planes, boats and such.  If you're looking along that line you're askng the wrong bunch of people for an opinion.

Yes, they have several Walthers kits listed.  I have not called them yet because I was hoping to find out if it was a scam first.
