Employees at The Caboose in Denver tell me that they are reluctant to stock large inventories because it often just gathers dust.
My LHS guy in Colorado Springs tells me that he is moving more towards the Big Box paradigm, with a smaller inventory and the ability to order and/or replace rapidly. What he doesn't have, I can order through him and often get it much faster than I can as an individual.
I'm currently wrestling with an outfit that refuses to respond to my queries about a $200-plus order of small items. These are some of the same folks in the business who also complain abnout "lack of demand".
