I think it way is too simplistic to assume Sears is failing due to a lack of a good enough Web-presence. Many Web sellers have failed. Sears has to maintain some loyalty to their brick & mortar stores and the people that work in them. Going cheap with Web-sales hurts the walk-in stores that create a higher cost of making a profit a lot. I won't be fool enough to pretend I know what Sears "should of done." I doubt anyone on this forum knows either. If Sears had said the heck with the walk-in stores and tried to be 100% Web-based - they would of caught a lot of flack for that too. I give Sears credit as a company for all the support it gave our military over the years. I also give it credit for trying to source more USA products then the average retailer. From what I see today - Sears no longer has any niche on the market and it is an anachronism (just like the local blacksmith or TV repair shop). Some wizard might be able to take over the Sears name and become a mass-marketer of Chinese crap on the Net and turn a profit. Maybe even the same with walk-in stores like Harbor Freight and Walmart. But it would not really be Sears anymore so who the heck cares? I miss the days of 50 years ago when there was no Internet or World Wide Web and a huge Sears catalog was one of the few windows into a world full of neat stuff. That world is gone and that is that.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
