The Original Crazy Eddies...
Was in New York City and vicinity in the early to mid 70's. Tney were shut down then for racketeering, fraud and other cute stuff I believe. This new outfit was around for a while. I think the economic downturn is gonna hit a lot of these merchants.. big shake out comin. Look for "Nobody Beats the Wiz" to follow suit (again) real soon.
Da Worfster :eek:
Ah yes,. The original Crazy Eddie. His prices were insane....
.. .and his business practices were too. Well, mebbe not insane but shady to say the least. That's why it took 'em almost 20 years to track him down in Israel after indicting him on fraud when he sold his company and all his inventory was basically empty boxes.
If you knew what you wanted, knew the going prices, and didn't listen to his salesmen you could get some rightious deals. He was around when the fair trade laws were just busted and you coud get some pretty good gear (particularly Japanese) at really, really good prices. Around here we had him, Druckers and a few others. Mail order had many others as well.
Ahhh... those were the daze...
