One dealer I used to frequent has gone out of business. The last time I was there I was trying to buy a power cord from him. When I asked the owner the price he said he didn't know.
He told me to call him the next day and he would find out. When I called the following day he wasn't there and his secretary said he just left on a business trip for 2 weeks. When I asked her if someone else could help me she replied that everyone was out to lunch and to leave a #. Well no one ever called me back so I called Music Direct and ordered one from them. Just recently I see the dealer is operating under a different name. Out of curiosity I called him to see what he was selling. He tells me he sold his business to another company. When I asked him why the storefront is vacant he said they closed down the store. If Brick and Mortar stores are going to be so flaky I'll just buy here on Audiogon or the mail order houses. Personally If all high end stores were out of business I could care less. They deserve what they get. It's called bad kharma!
