Where do you get your data for this summation ?? I have purchased many items from BC and there is absolutely no legal way you could know anything about my status. I order, you ship, end of transaction. Never any other interaction between our parties. With no interaction or survey, how can you know anything about what my status is or any other similar customers ?? I find your claims troubling without facts to support them.

Paranoia big destroya. I also knew Obama would win on Nov 3rd without specifically knowing how you, drop tank, would cast your vote.

Seriously, most of the 1:18 collectors got their start at Wal Mart. Taking a straight WM demographic is a good start. We also deal with folks all day long . . . and customers tell us a lot. Do you think its possible to learn anything about people based on what they say, how they express themselves, where they live, etc.?

MG-42 my post was not intended as criticism. Just as to how the %'s used were gathered. I have enough headaches running my own business without trying to tell another how to run their's.

Well then it sounds like if the 1/18 markets gets even slower, you could apply all those people skills you learned, to pick the BCS and Superbowl winners and live in the 10% category.

BCMatt, I love your store and have spent in the high four figures with you over the last few years and wish you the best with your special reserve section so please don't take this the wrong way:

How is 1/18 a "blue collar" scale? I like to believe it is the Cadillac of all scales. I get the WM history but I moved from 1/72 to 1/32 to 1/18 so I am confused. I don't have $400 yacht-door handles but am if not in your 10% at least close...
