I heard Mfg.com is up for sale from one of my customers the other day. Is this true or is it just some goofy rumor?

LOL. I don't see how they would bankrupt. They operate nearly free and charge a ridiculous amount. I posted recently in the CNC area as we were pretty much banned for not following buyer procedures.... Feel sorry for the bastards that are paying there because we were going to award 5 part numbers.
They seem to think it is their responsibility to "validate" my existence for their customers and all it is doing is running me out the door. That other one on the web did the exact same thing and you can see what happened to them..... NO BUSINESS!!!! Morons.....
So exactly what did you do to violate buyer conditions??
Like previously said, how could they go bankrupt? They operate out of an office and from the posted link the annoying salesmen can work from home and probably are paid commission only. There is practically no fixed overhead other than a small office, maintaining a server and paying for bandwidth. If it gets real slow they could give up the office and base it at the owner's home. I am afraid MFG will live as long as the owner does.
...I assumed MFG bought out Thomas Register and had a payment.
WOW. Buying a company whose entire stock in trade is a database IN PRINT and updated only annually.
Over the decade and half PM has been in existance it seems like every time the subject of MFG.com comes up, with perhaps one exception, everyone that has tried them has pretty much zero results and hates the company. So over the years I am mystified how can a company where it seems like 98 percent of subscribers have no good results, not only keep going, but thrive ? (that's the impression from the link in post 14 anyway)
Now I'm wondering if the whole thing wasn't a Ponzi scheme in reality. Maybe not intentionally, but that might be the end result really....thriving based on a continuious flow of new subscribers as the dissatisfied ones drop out. But eventually the potential new subscriber base simply runs out and the whole thing collapses ? I could be completely wrong about that of course....but would sure make sense if that was the case.
Or maybe I've just seen too many episodes of the TV show American Greed....
