    There in administration..I don't think the staff are told anything as its all private and confidential..the administrators call the shots..

    I spoke to the HG eBay auction guy - he said the administrators are not letting them sell goods...only a handful..a guy in branch said something different..one said I can't refund goods, whilst another branch was refunding..!

    I think they have only put HG own brand stuff out for sale + other little bits here and there..to keep buyers busy..

    I visited 2 stores and they were selling very similer things...but nothing worth buying.

    Have you seen how many smx plus boot they have sold online, why not others like smx5 or the goretex ones..

    Was in my local branch today & the staff said the company has been bought by Hein Gericke Germany.
