Re: [GZG] (OT?) X-Treme Hobby...



For what it's worth, I contacted them and started a discussion. I asked for some very specific details - existing inventory, sales records, contracts/relationships with vendors (for packaging, casting, making masters, etc.) and a bit more.

Haven't heard back.

I did make enquiries myself as soon as this was first posted on TMP a few weeks back, just to see what kind of money was being talked about; I got a very quick response, but the sort of figures being discussed (which I'm not going to talk about on-list for obvious reasons) didn't make it look economically attractive or viable to me - basically it seemed a lot of money for little more than rights to the designs and the masters; if the deal had included production moulds and such it might have looked more feasible, but all these appear to be held by a third party contract caster and thus are not included in the sale. After careful consideration, I decided to pass.
