Slow down, slow down.. Calling this "Bait & Switch" is an extreme over reaction and an unlikely situation when there is virtually nothing left to sell! It is not bait and switch when you just happen to sell stuff and not get around to "taking the sign down." Heck, I bet half the stuff on the CR Classifieds have sold and the gumbas haven't told me to remove it! Hardly bait & switch. Jack is indeed a pretty old guy now (I would guess late 70s) and has been slowly and half heartedly selling off the last odd bits of what was once was a very big business. He himself doesn't do the web site.. I heard a friend of his daughter put it up and Jack has little idea of computers, etc. And he really has not promoted it .. I think the daughter, Yvonne, ran some announcements a while back but it is a minimal effort on all their behalf. And whatever he/they still have left is very likely: a. Severely picked over b. Shopworn and ratty c. So cheap that anyone with any brains wouldn't expect much at all.
