My wife and I visited Classic Collection in Centerpoint yesterday. They are 'changing direction' - the collectibles are 75% off. The only H-L/AB they had had for a while which I wanted, was the AB-102S Toledo - and there it sat for 75% off!They even had the original un-flattened boxes. They still had the 3rd order beehive Fresnel (651) as well - and one was still in-the-box. I left with both and their thanks, less my $60.38 including 5% ST. I felt pretty bad, they were the closest H-L dealer to my home. I had bought more full-price items there than any other dealer. Another good/bad day.

You certainly got a great deal on your purchases, John! It's sad to see a dealer fall by the wayside, but such closings are not just limited to HL dealers. Unfortunately, it's a sign of the times.
