I was shopping for train products yestarday. It was my typical spring run, I spent about $550 at 5 different shops in a 40 mile radius, and nothing at the Hobbytown USA stores I was talking about earlier. This one shop has an owner who has absolutely NO business sense at all. All of his large inventory of HO railroad products are mixed up manufacturers, uneven box pilings falling off of shelves. I have been looking for two specific coal cars I missed the manufacturing date. Couldn't find them on e-bay, so I am looking everywhere. Sure enough in the mess of boxes in this guy's store is two and only two cars I have spent months looking for. I almost gave up and left because of his lack of organization, it was a last second look as I was starting to walk out, I found them. Today I am laughing about it, but yestarday I was in some nice organized stores, then I go in his, what a difference. Most stores here do not discount off MSRP, but one of them offered me discounts if I buy/order from them on any item. Each business REALLY has its own way of doing business!
