Covered Wagon outside of Greensboro NC. What happened to the inventory?

Hello Scott, Greensboro Electric Trains brought the stock from the Covered Wagon. Now Greensboro Electric Trains is now closed. I didn't know that Rick passed! When did this happen??

Greensboro's store was to small to absorb all that inventory-I know some of it was sold to Greensboro. I was told by someone from the Greensboro are couple of years ago that Rick has died. He is no longer listed as the owner of the property. 

I really liked buying from them.

So what happened to Greensboro Electric Trains inventory?

As you and Roger Whitsett probably know Scott, Rick had a "buy one get one free" sale that lasted well over a year. Although he did not sell online he told me that he enjoyed a healthy out-of-state telephone trade. Rick always offered a 10% discount from list, more if volume was involved.

My last purchase from him was the B&O EM-1 that was a longtime resident in the glass case across from the billing desk. Rick and his parents routinely attended the NY Toy Fair for over 30 years. I first bought model cars and some large scale from them when they were located in the old two-story house on the southside of I-85. 

When Rick parted company with MTH I began to buy trains from a new store called The Train Loft. Don't know what happend.....I visited GSO Electric Trains infrequently for scenery and small item purchases but never got to know the folks well.

Scott, The last time that I saw the owner of Greensboro Electric Trains, he was selling trains at a show that was at the NCTM in Spencer NC during Spring/Summer 2014.
