    Is it true that the business is at a residential address? I would hate to see the compnay down size so much to loose staff. I am pretty new to the AGD world, but I know many of those people have been there for years and I hope that their dedication can continue and they aren't out of the job.

      i know i'm a member of the fan-base because i admire AGD for making quality, innovative products, like the flatline, 6-pak, z-grip, AIR valve, sydarm, e-mag, and everything else.

      also, i doubt they are moving to a residential area, they were in a huge factory, they're probably just downsizing to a 'pro-shop' sized space... or one thats just cheaper.

      Tom's a smart man, he invented the mag, and studies astrology and stuff, i think he' keep AGD alive as long as we care... and he has a bit of excess time and money.

      thanks tom.

                AGD

                I'm just going to throw this out here because I love AGD; have owned and played with only 1 gun since 1993, and wouldn't trade my classic in for the world..

                We all want to see AGD thrive and continue with the innovation and quality that all "maggers" have grown to love and expect out of our equipment. Now I'm farily new to this board, but I know about Tom's retirement and have read the threads about AGDs financial struggles. It's a shame to watch such a great company who values their customers and provides the best customer service in the busness, along with top quality products, be devalued by garbage markers created for the sole purpose of being sold at Wal-mart.

                That said, AGD needs sales, and there is a way that all of us AO'ers can help. With the HUGE fan base, AGD needs to create an affiliate sales program so that WE can advertise for them. All those who are willing to learn how affiliate and internet marketing works for the purpose of helping AGD grow please chime in. Hopefully we can convince AGD to develop the program and grow.

                If anyone from AGD reads this post, I can help with developing the program and with web site development.

                please please please get in touch with me.

                  My first thought is tax purposes... They used to be in Wheeling IIRC... That area (Mount Prospect, Prospect Heights, Wheeling) is mighty expensive nowadays... I live in the area, so I can tell you that land value and taxes are shooting up

                        That would be ASTRONOMY. If Tom used tarot cards to predict his future, I gotta think he would have trimmed his mustache...

                          Good to see you are getting on the computer quite a bit Dave! Hope things are going as well as can be expected.
