Hadn't heard it mentioned here, but went to their website today to check on some prices and found out that as of Feb 29 they were no longer accepting orders.

Was always very satisified with their services as well

Asked what?
<< <i>This was a real disappointment since I used them for everything! >>
same here. great prices, had what i need, fast shipping and took paypal. sorry to see it go.
The biggest problem is inventory. There is sooooo many different supplies that folks want that is impossible and impractical to stock it all. The percent margins can be decent but it takes a heck of a lot of plastic tubes to make a buck.
To be honest, he did it because it needed to be done. Every coin show should have a supplies dealer.
And obviously business wasn't that great for B-K either. Shut down for over two weeks and no one was aware of it. That is very telling.

i received an order from Brent-Krueger within the past month to six weeks, but it's not like i kept tabs on what was going on over there. they had been running some close-outs on Intercept Shield products but gave no indication at the site that it was anything but business-as-usual.
i guess Wizard and some others will be the GoToGuys from now on.

Me too. I used to live about 10 miles from the store and stopped in several times. Too bad...

edit to add : Great post Mission 16. A good supply chain is imperative.
