Too much of Amazon is some wanker buying that oil at HD, listing for double the price hoping no one notices.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I get rid of that problem by only searching for prime products. Just flip the prime toggle and the trollers are history.
How does that work? I've bought lots under the prime banner that were from rinky dink sellers. I thought prime is an option any vendor can opt for. i.e. give up margin in return for all that "prime" involves (featured at the top, free fast delivery etc)
I'm not really sure how it works. I'm not an amazon vendor. But I've always thought Prime meant more than that. You can also filter on price and assorted other characteristics.
MEC. One day it will feature at university in a classic case of corporate takeover.
People 'with extensive experience in the outdoor products industry' began running for the BOD. Some of us tried to signal that they would try to sell off MEC to one of the big 3 at least 5 years before they did...
They quite deliberately ran the cash reserves down. They did it by overbuying stock, and selling new stock at below price, and leveraged against store locations to get very big loans, ostensibly to purchase more stock. When they sold, it was for less than 25% of asset value. The sales price serviced the loans, leaving Kingswood with about a 400M-500M$ company for about a third of that.
It makes me sad and angry to think about it. I was a member since 1979.
That totally sucks!!! I hadn’t heard about this. Members Equity wiped out, feels like a stab in the back.
