Actually, they have a really good selection too. Has anyone tried to navigate around on CCS ? What a joke. And there sale stuff is so weird, you have to buy a certain amount of stuff to get the sale price. Lame.

Post by: bumpnrun on June 29, 2009, 10:06:14 AM: Wonder why Zumiez lost the bid at $7.2 mil and that Florida group got it for $5.2 mill?

Post by: tysj! on June 29, 2009, 10:29:46 AM: Because it's fucking Zumiez. I'm sure Active doesn't wanna be pulled into their crapiness.

Post by: spare change on June 29, 2009, 10:53:31 AM: I am sure that zumiez knows in this financial climate over extending yourself is something not to be taken lightly.
Plus active has burned bridges with so many vendors,definitely damaged goods.

Post by: GnarlesManson on June 29, 2009, 11:01:42 AM: from what i understand, zumiez would want control, the investor is just providing financial backing.

Post by: FROST YOUR TIPS on June 29, 2009, 12:17:48 PM: zumiez talked about placing that bid but never did, I'm pretty sure if Active got a 7.2 million dollar bid over a 5 mill they would take it hands down. They just want to walk away with the most money possible.

you need to realize that 5 million and then owning the company and making future money is more than 7.2 million dollars.

If Active didn't want to be pulled into Zumiez's crapiness, then they wouldn't be offering their inventory to Zumiez at below market costs.
