So, by upping the quality of his product, upping his production, diversifying his product for the home collector (LE models), and actually securing licenses people want to play . . . you take from that that he is somehow doing a pump and dump when there are ZERO strategic entities that appear situated to want to acquire a pinball company.

That logic makes little sense to me . . .

This is absolutly not correct. Nitch businesses with an international market that are labor intensive are challenging to liquidate . . . even more so when there is no one else really in the sector (JJP is still in start up phase and I would not count him - his own survival remains far from a certainty though we all wish him well).

66 is not too old to do what he is doing; I assume he is healthy. Regardless, we don't know what type of debt is out there on Stern (as a company) that Gary may have personally guaranteed and need to continue to service through keeping operations running along . . . he could well be stuck in the company for the forseeable future. We don't know what we don't know . . . if you understand what I am saying there . . . and to assume he has an impending exit with no basis other than he is reving up his operations (which is a good thing for all of us) is just an odd assumption.
