Frankly, I am amazed that so many parts are still available from them. I order from the constantly.

+1. I also order from them constantly, buying parts for clones from old plans. If Randy continues to carry kits that don't sell, he would also go out of business. Any business man will tell you that there are carrying costs associated with the inventory in one's warehouse. And if he goes out of business, that would be a much bigger loss to our community than losing a few kits that don't sell. And maybe he has a shrewd plan for the Saturn 1B, like periodic reissues every few years ala Estes? Who knows. |
