Agreed. They're being less than forthright about their cost.

OTOH, Tony's review of the financials has me a bit concerned. I have ~$13,000.00 parked with Magnolia for the MC1502 that's on order and an arrival date sometime in March.

With margins that slim I'm sure they need a stellar Holiday Season to keep them in the black. If that didn't happen this year what's to keep them out of Chapter 11. In that scenario I become an unsecured creditor and it's pretty much Adios to my money and amp.

More sleepless nights ahead.
