Mountain Machines going bankrupt???

I saw this article awhile ago, and wanted to know if MMP is out of business? I see they are advertising on here. Could there be more to the story than what is posted in the article???

I saw that article too. Hard to say how that's panning out.

Auction.....

No matter how right you are, you call out groups like this in a public setting and they'll use their power to take you out.

Just another company struggling to get operating capital in today's tight banking market, the big will get bigger and the small will fall. SUCKS!!!!!

With the service i got last year i wouldn't be surprised But once they finally did send my product it looked and worked awesome. Just wish it wouldn't have taken a month to get after they told me it was shipping out that day and charged my card the day i ordered it. Hopefully they get things figured out because they do have really nice product.

Ditto, took for ever to get my product but I am happy with it.

Trust me, it is very interesting doing business in the manufacturing end these days.
We are constantly having to swing allocated funds around to produce parts. What very few people realize about manufacturing is that by the time a product is in the customer's hands the manufacturer has been out at least 90 days from the initial production investment... 90 days during which the manufacturer had to pay wages, tooling, R&D, utilities, material costs, their suppliers, freight, delivery, taxes and advertising costs.
Now, throw in the fact that there is no loaning of operating funds happening right now at all, it is the perfect recipe for bankruptcy. Unless you're a millionaire, don't get into it right now.

FYI: Just the fact that anyone not receiving bailout funds is still manufacturing in this country is a true testament to American persistence and God's blessing.

well they still are producing some stuff, had to wait till they did a run on a couple of the things again so it took a little over a month to get it, but man they put out some great stuff.

well worth the wait.

hope they fare though this well
