Hey Armorama folks!

What is happening at D&J Hobby in San Jose, CA?

I went there not too long ago, they say they are moving. I tried to find out where exactly they are moving to but didn't get even a hint. They have stuff marked on "sale" but only stuff people don't really want.

Knowing that Yannis Hobbies permanently closed down claiming that he is only moving "down the street" a few years ago, is this happening at D&J too? Maybe they are trying to sell off old stock, while selling off the rest of the regular stuff to model brokers / bulk buyers (i.e.: those who buy in bulk from estate sales with large model collections)?

If D&J is closing, then the ONLY hobby store with plastic model kits in the entire South Bay Area is HobbyTown USA in Sunnyvale! And they do not focus on model kits. Scary thought!

What gives?

+Y.C.
