> This Saturday I am opening the new warehouse to customers for the

> for kids. Come see the biggest selection of educational science
> kits, robot kits, plastic and wood model kits you have ever seen in
> one place. Everything on display will be on sale with many items
> below my cost. Unlike simple toys that completely fade from memory
> after a few weeks, these kits teach your kids science and
> engineering information and skills that last a lifetime. The
> selection includes products from the web site and lots of other
> things too! You will have a lot of fun looking and see deals too
> hard to pass by.
>
> I will also have odds and ends of my regular electronic and robot
> products but the sale is primarily for kids products. No kids? Grab
> something for a niece, nephew or neighbor or to scavenge for your
> next project. Please tell your friends!

> When: Saturday, January 10, 2008 from 10:00am until 3pm.

> other help on Saturday call 650-588-4646. I will be working with
> little or no help, so things may get hectic during the middle of
> the day. If time allows I'll be glad to help with products from my
> regular inventory or give you the grand tour.

> Can't make it to the warehouse this Saturday? I have lots of on-

> Don't forget to browse the rest of the site for thousands of other
> gift and project items at my normal great prices.
>
> Would you like to be able to shop in person at Hobby Engineering on
> a regular basis? I want to help! But I need your help -- please
> shop at this sale and then keep coming back for your project
> supplies. I need to get Hobby Engineering Internet fully healthy
> again before reopening the store -- my first attempt at retail just
> about killed me. I know a lot more about retail now, but I'm still
> dumb enough to give it another try. One thing I've learned is that
> while every successful retail store needs a web site, successful
> web sites don't need retail stores. Hobby Engineering will be a
> purely on-line store while the retail business will have a
> different name, different (but overlapping) product mix and
> different policies. Curious? Take a peek:

> If you like our products and services, please tell a friend or post
> a link on your web site. Please let me know if you have any
> comments or suggestions regarding our newsletter, web site, product
> line or service.
