RB's Obsolete

I was looking for them and my links that I have saved won't work. Are they still in business? I tried http://www.rbobsolete.com and http://www.rbsauto.com which both worked at one time.

there are comments around a few web sites that the place is gone. Also comments they were bought..... I don't know.

It's one of those places I was treated poorly by them several years ago and swore I would never buy from them again.

As I recall they were in Arizona ?

They went belly up a few months ago.

With the attitude they pulled on me - I can see why. Then there was the 10% minimum shipping charge - if you had a 1# but $500 item, it was $50 and if I recall, plus postage(but may be wrong on that point).

To stay in business it's customer service that counts. I ended up buying much more from Yogi's and of course Summit instead

They moved to AZ a couple years ago.

Was that another deal like Yearwood and a new owner moves the company?

Two years ago when I built the new chassis for the 54, I ordered the rear spring kit from them, talked with the guys in Arizona, but when it came to actually making the rear springs they had me talk to a guy in Washington so we could get the ride height right. So at that time it looked like they were still doing fab up north while their sales were in AZ.
