I won't support any excuse for such behavior.
I seen several former good hobby shops take a nose dive in service.I didn't understand the reason but,little did I know in each case the hobby shop was breathing its last due to the owner closing the shop and retiring.He had a retirement target date and could care less..In all cases the inventory was sold in chunks to various train show dealers after the stores closed.
There was no closing discounts,no closing sales,no nothing.
I supposed that's one way of thanking your loyal customers.
That burned me on being a loyal customer to any hobby shop.
