They undoubtedly bought Lanier to get Goldberg. There is no blowout sale on Goldberg products.

The problem with a blowout sale is that it uses up the market for those products. Everyone who wants one will buy it before the price goes back up. So if the price does go back up, there is no one left to buy it. Sellers know that.

I don't have any inside info either, but a blow out sale is a pretty sure sign that the present line of Lanier products is history.

Actually, a wide array of Goldberg products are being sold off cheap as well. Great Planes is just being a little more subtle about it:

-Falcon 56 ARF reduced from $139.99 to $99.99
-Protege 60 Kit reduced from $99.99 to $59.99
-Skylane 62 ARF reduced from $179.99 to $114.99
-Surge 400 EP reduced from $89.99 to $39.99
-Cub 40 ARF RWB reduced from $199.99 to $139.99

Is a good time to be shopping for airplanes right now, but I am a bit concerned that the end is nigh for a number of high quality airframes.
