Damn they stole that thing at that price.

Anyone know the reasoning behind them shutting down? I never would've guessed they'd close up shop like that.

From what I remember Gildan bought them and moved them.

I wish I was closer. I would have liked to take a closer look at some of the things there.

I know all about the NBNY debacle (Dave Gardner was here recently) but can't really post publicly. Typical corporate nonsense.

Dave, I'm 20 minutes away, I would have looked at stuff for you. I was there a few times poking around. lots of cool toys. A few lots ago, they sold these genius squeegie cleaners, you put the squeegie in vertically and it spun around like a washing machine. One of a kind item.

The few fellas I spoke to from Gildan/New Buffalo were awesome guys, Dave Gardner was one of them. Humble guy.

So Gildan buys NB for 7 million and sells everything for pennies on the dollar so they don't have to move it to SC when they open up shop? I assume they're getting all new gear Tony? New location bigger or smaller than NB?
