@Bossman284 posted:I disagree. Why would a buyer want that extra weight. If I was a potential buyer, I would have no interest in their archives or their building. Everything is manufactured overseas, so I don't need their building to store items when they come in, that could be done anywhere. I suspect that the design of any new products could be done anywhere, even remotely if you wanted to retain the current team. I think not being tied to MTH's current location is a selling point...but what do I know.
Maybe, perhaps... But what is going on looks like a business that is closing. But let's do a thought experiment. Let's assume, you are right and MTH is not going out of business but is being prepared to being sold to new owners without a building, archives, or engineers or employees. On top of all this, MTH announced they are closing for good but are really getting new, yet to be named owners.
So, if you are willing to accept those things as saying "MTH will continue under new ownership." How would all those things be different that would actually convince you that MTH was really, truly, going out of business?
I'm not saying these things because I want to see MTH go out of business or because I don't appreciate what they have done for the hobby. I am interested as someone in the hobby. Looking objectively, everything looks to be what MTH says it is: they are closing for good.
