B&E Junction closes forever tomorrow . Everything is 50% off.

I was there on 2/10/18 and they were planning to close on 2/17/18.

I just spoke with one of the owners. They will be open until March 12.

 Their last day is tomorrow. I was just there this afternoon everything is 50% off .

Wow they still have quite a bit of inventory left - I wonder why they couldn't hang in there 6 more weeks until the York show?

MJ is right.  If its 50 % off why not wait until you have the entire york crowd to market to.  Not everyone lives that close to york.  Put flyers in the hotel lobbies,  pass them out at the parking lot shows, or even get a table at york to put flyers on.

 They told me they wanted to be open another week but they couldn’t work it out. It may be a lease a  situation on the  building

Perhaps they'll make an appearance at York in one of the halls, if there's sufficient inventory remaining.  I didn't spend much time in the Purple Hall last York, but the one before that left we with the impression there were plenty of tables available in the Purple Hall for a place like B&E Junction if they were so inclined.

Ya never know... where there's a will there's a way, as they say....

Thanks for the post yesterday

I drove up this morning and purchased a few items.

I am big fan of the MTH uncatalogued Pittsburgh items so I found an Iron City, Islays and 3 Heinz cars at a nice price

B&E Junction is where my father and I bought my first scale locomotive. I was 13 at the time. It was a Premier MTH locomotive from the 1998 catalog. It was then and is still now my favorite locomotive, the N&W 611.

I actually posted this from my cell phone right after I left the store for that very reason. I should have bought more stuff, but I just couldn't make another trip (4 1/2 to 5 hours one way).

I tried to see if they would still ship some things out this morning and they said yesterday was the last day for shipping. They will not be selling at the York Meet. The remaining inventory is being sold to other dealers and through an auction house.

Tell the wife you're going back to get me some stuff!!! (and then you can't ship it to me until you get the money!)

I stopped in this afternoon and picked up a couple of items. While I was there I overheard the lady behind the counter tell another customer that Saturday would be the last day. Also that they would probably sell the rest at auction.
