Default I went to a Homier sale today

You mean the 4x6 bandsaw that is always out of stock...for years on
end?

Or the mini-lathe that they only carry one when they start their
multi-city route?

Or the mini-mill that they will not carry on the road show because it
costs too much?

Hopefully Homier is getting better but in the two trips (yeah I know I
should have learned the first time) I made to their traveling circus, I
left disgusted by the lack of inventory and the dismal quality of the
crap they sold. When pressed, one of their company men admitted that
they use the traveling roadshows to resell the returns that customers
refuse.

And both cases, the locals were loading up on tomorrow's garbage in
droves. (there's one born every minute...).

If you want a real eye opener, get there really early and watch their
"professional staff"...set up the place between their appointments with
Jack Daniels and Have Bong Will Travel.
