Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke You are thinking of Houston. It doesn't flood in Dallas. This will make shipping the materials for slabs cheaper from Houston. |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| I lived in Houston for 30 years and made many weekend trips to Austin and Dallas to party with brahs. Dallas floods. All the time. The freeways are terrible and get flooded. I'm not talking out of my *** | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke I live there right now. I have for 27 of my 37 years. I lived in Austin for the other 10. No it doesn't flood. Houston floods. Especially where Beckett is that doesn't flood by the Galleria. This is also right near where the new Midtown Dallas is getting built. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O that would be cool. But, I figured the Becket guys would just add on to existing infrastructure. But, you never know. IT changes all the time. Def going to put in back of my mind. |

| So let me get this straight. CGC made some sort of deal that prevented CBCS from being on the main floor? Sorry, but that's chicken shit! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by KingNampa I don't live near Florida nor Texas, so personally it doesn't affect me where CGC or CBCS is located. Both are places I mail stuff to. Do you actually KNOW for a fact that CBCS will not be helping with relocation expenses of their employees? A lot of companies do in fact help with such. I would think CBCS and Beckett both (and together) would very much want to keep the graders and encapsulation staff. These are the people directly responsible for the look of the product in the customers hands. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck Yea. Imagine a comic vender being the only one who sells a certain variant, for exorbitant prices? Even though the cover price says $4.99, you have to pay $75 for a brand new book. That just wouldn't fly. Ha Ha |

Quote:Originally Posted by KingNampa Well, I think it obvious that moving to a new location will have some affect on day to day business. With comic book grading, that would mean likely some affect on TAT. On the other hand, businesses move to new locations all the time. They know that such moves can potentially disrupt the delivery of their service or product - and make plans to minimize such. This is why I posted up my....belief...that CBCS may well plan on helping with relocation expenses of key personnel. Graders, encapsulation, probably administrative staff. I could grade books in a closet if the light was good enough. I suspect they will do everything possible to keep disruption to a minimum |

| Well thought out move? Or directive from the parent company? We will never know. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. |
