I suppose they should have given everything away at cost.
Do you think the folks making importing Lionel Trains are in the business for anything other than to make money?
I was in Madison Hardware (NYC) many times. Enough to get to know Carl and Lou a bit. They told me when something that captured my interest was a reproduction or repaint. I witnessed enough and was told enough to appreciate their viewpoint on "customer relations"
