Thr Mole Hole of Beaverton in Beaverton, Oregon is closing. They just held their last signing event with Bill in November. They are a large Harborlights dealer and have a lot of items. Any forum members looking for new HL items at closing out prices could see them. They tried to find a buyer but in this economy -no sale. This pretty much leaves us with one dealer in the Portland vacinity.

Maybe they should post what HL's they have is stock in the Dealer Corner forum.

Dealer Corner is designed for dealers selling at retail, not at discounted prices.

Loon - The original post said the dealer was selling out at closing costs. Closing costs aren't retail prices. They are free to advertise what they have at retail. I would be afraid they would then discount their prices after being contacted by a collector. While they are free to do what they want, our Forum is built on retail prices. Just my opinion on what MIGHT happen.

Rich, Your right. My initial thinking was they might have some harder to find retired pieces that a few collectors would buy at retail. Not many are going to call a store in Oregon and ask, but if we has a list posted.
But I see your point, that it could taint the true purpose of the Dealer Corner once the dealer trys to dump stock.

Good Friday Morning!
Truly an creative, energetic Retailer is closing!
In speaking with Bill, The Mole Hole of Portland was one of his favorite "tour" stops!
