It sounds like the original management of Mar-K and the most recent owner were polar opposites as far as business ethics. Sad indeed. I had purchased and was very happy with several items from the original regime. I had much more on my "wish list" but felt that as close as they were to me, time was not an issue. I guess I waited too long. After reading the story of the new owner, it is good news that he was not able to use a new position to damage even more people in the hobby.
