<p>Yeah new management is going to run off a lot of their smaller buy customers. Wonder how that will affect their long term employment. May all be due to unaffordable health care.</p>
<p>I don't buy enough per year to hang with them either, plus the quality I got from them last time required returning two sides. Don't have time to deal with reject/returns.</p>

<p>John,</p>
<p>We usually buy from Tandy but only because we can go in and hand pick what we want. Now that we wont have one near I will be interested to see what shows up in this discussion</p>
