grgcombs: Sure that's what capitalism is all about, but I can't help but feel that so far 25 some-odd people have been cheated by jackasses who buy all the inventory up.

Greg,

I can't say that I have ever personally identified with the concept of buying up distressed merchandise and reselling it -- and maybe the term "jackassses" applies, I dunno -- but I have a hard time seeing how various buyers have been cheated. They might have saved themselves this distressing experience by buying an Empeg prior to liquidation. Of course, that might have cost them $600 or more.
