The Great Flood
Hello friends,
On Valentine's Day, we got a nasty ice storm around here. When it all melted much of the water found its way in though the side of our building through an old electrical conduit pipe. It flooded part of the Ronjo Magic warhouse, which in turn damaged some merchandise.
We thought we found all the damaged products which thankfully was only a few hundred dollars worth of things. Silks (bleeding colors), Card Tricks (badly warped) and some other minor props.
A couple of days ago however, we found that the leak spread over to the next isle and doused a few dozen books. Some very expensive, so not so much. But it still stings.
Several titles were brand new titles (titles by Patrick G. Redford), others were items we recently got in that we have been out of stock for some time ( from Mark Strivings, Paul Osborne, Terry Nosek).
A good chunk of these titles are "hard to come by", we have to place larger minimum orders, we have to pre pay and or the distributors are hard to reach. Some titles we import from other countries.
We have already placed reorders for some of these, for some others we have to wait on.
If we decide to go to our insurance for this, it should cover these losses. If not, we may have a special sale on all of these books. Many of them did not get completely soaked. The covers only or the first front and or back few pages may be warped a bit. But a good many of them are readable without too much damage, we just can't sell them as new.
We'll let you know soon if we decide to have a sale on salvageable items.
Thanks for reading.
Pete
