Default RE: Don't Order from Sheldon's Hobbies

It's 50% off today, 12/29.

I go to Sheldon's because they normally have what I want, and they're on the way home from work. But I agree with every statement in this thread. I'm sure Sheldon gets ripped off from time to time, and the guy probably thinks every customer is out to get him, but it's not a friendly place. I'd never take a chance ordering anything from him, but if you walk in, select your merchandise, pay (and get your $20s checked for counterfeit), and walk out, it's a useful resource.

A few weeks ago I overheard Sheldon talking to an acquaintance about the move. He was being forced to relocate, but hadn't selected a spot yet. Everyone wanted too much rent.
