If you go back to the two trisports threads that were on the forum you will see that I told you guys exactly this. I was figuring that one of you would have sleuthed it out. Now that you know, who can find my bread crumbs I left out there?

Oh great. As if there weren't already enough incompetence in the triathlon retail world already.

we had one nice, complete, tri bike that we inherited in the inventory. i gave it away to one of the trisports employees. i already earned the tri bike selling merit badge. don't want to earn it again.

Is retailing all that hard? If so, why? I ask because I am looking to change my lot in life...currently a banker and do well enough. But, I would rather do something I am more passionate about,.

You could take up triathlon. Or painting. Just don't do retail.

I have to be honest my shine for Amazon is dimming. The more I deal with them, the less I like them. Sure they have good deals, but what kind of a company that wants to move into the groceries market runs out of a food item in multiple brands? Yesterday, I tried to order cashews from the Canadian webstore. None to be had on Prime and those available from 3rd party sellers were priced as if a meth head was hoping to fund their next 10 scores in one sale.

Will any of the inventory be listed in the Classifieds? If so, when might we expect it to appear?

There were limited items on the Trisports website that weee never discounted, presumably because of manufacturer restrictions (e.g., Zipp wheels, some electronics, etc.).
A lot of items remained on their site after being “discontinued”. I imagined these items were sold out during the sales.
Most of the stuff still available, despite discounting, was obviously less desirable (e.g., Trisports kit).
Monty/Dan, can you give us a hint of what kind of stuff will be sold? Mostly stuff from the first and third categories?
