It is the season of model railroaders. To gives every weekend of October until December, tens of exchange, exhibitions, open days, etc. that one could visit. The tables are full and the Occasionshändler on eBay and Ricardo will be offered as much as usual before. That actually sounds
to a flourishing industry. It sounds very different but when you talk to people who want to earn money on this hobby: the model ice-Hadi and importers. From one of the largest importer in Switzerland, one hears that he currently has at least 30 dealers can not pay their bills. At the same time tells me a well-known dealer that he barely half of the turnover of power 10 years ago. He sells Although just before Christmas, not bad, but there are expanding, especially the regular customers their collection. New faces could hardly see in the store. Accordingly, it is also particularly new orders would soon rather than the store window to go away. But this makes a large part of the business assets.
Many shopkeepers can only survive because they have a second job (or a major acquisition) have keeps them afloat, or because certain costs (such as the rent or the staff) do not have to factor into the full costs.
Is this the time? the game and collecting world has moved so much? Or lack of exciting ideas in the industry?
