Tom, I hope you allow this to post.

On December 1, there was a posting from the aboved named company stating they were going out of business and everything would be discounted 50%. I immediately went to the web site and ordered over $300 worth of items. On every page was the following: "Going out of Business Sale. All retail orders will be marked down 50%. Discount is not reflected in price shown; discount will be given after order is received." I placed my order, was given an order number and submitted my credit card information. I had heard nothing as of today (Dec 6), so I phoned their office in LA. I spoke with a woman in the office and she explained that at the time I placed the order they were in liquidation and there would be no 50% discount. They also had recently been purchased by another company.

I think their posting was dishonest and deceitful. I have an order confirmation that clearly states EVERY item is discounted 50% and yet that is not true. I thought everybody that visits Rodbuilding.org should be aware of this company's deceptive practices.
