Proprintwear Belly Up?

[wallacesims]

Does anybody know if Proprintwear is going out of business? I have left numerous messages on their phone, sent several emails, and tried to order online ( the shopping cart program says it's an unregistered version) to no avail. All I want to do is buy a couple of tee shirts.:

With everything that is going on with Phil and the company, it isn't surpising that he is a little behind in responding. Patience, grasshopper.

[HDG]

He's probably been at the NAC; what were you alluding to Mergs?

[Mergs]

I was not alluding to anything, other than the fact that it is smallish business that is going great guns and is a bit understaffed. In the past I have had to wait a bit for a response. But you are right, also, they have been in CA at a NAC and are probably still driving back to NY.

[wallacesims]

I have been patient, I been trying to reach them since the Reno NAC. The plot has now thickened, the website is completely down.

Why would you want to see one of the few companys that cater to fencers go belly up?

I don't see anything in this thread that indicates anybody is happy about the idea.

There was an obnoxious post by Poulet indicating his pleasure, but it has been pulled.

Ahhh Pullet is known for that isn't he!

[HDG]

It's back up now; my guess is server problems.

[Mergs]

The message I got when I pulled it up earlier was that the domain had expired. Heck, that even happened to Microsoft! Thank goodness the world didn't panic when THAT happened.

[epeeboy]

OK I thought maybe I was overreacting so I sent another email, no good, I tried to use their cart again, no good, so I made another phone call and now the phones are disconnected. Seems like something must be wrong.

[Mergs]

Sounds like Santelli all over again. Damn. Hope nothing has happened to Phil and company. It looked like they were going great guns. Has anyone contacted USFA (stop giggling) and see if they know anything? I said, stop giggling. And that means guffawing, howling with laughter and any other derisive gut wrenching reactions!

At least that leaves rolling the eyes available...

Well, they've taken away one of the few sources of revenue for the LOC and jacked up the price of tournament t-shirts to ludicrous levels. $30 for a tournament t-shirt? Yikes.

[RoninX]

Yikes indeed, I could buy like 10 shirts for that kind of scratch some this street guy I know who camps out on 13th and Broadway.

Can we let this thread die or something so people don't actually start thinking that proprintwear is belly up? Because it isn't.

[epeeboy]

Prove it, because if you can't be reached by your customers then you arn't a business.

[yeoldearmourer]

I hear he still in business and he is redoing his store and having problems with permits.

They were at a tournament over this past weekend that I attended.
