You don't offer big price reductions on all ready low priced kilts unless you're having cash flow problems. My guess is that the orders dried up after the thread that Ugly Bear refers to got around. You may also note that the replies to Bear's sale anouncement all asked about delivery time. Bear hasn't posted here since then.
Like I said, not good news. Maybe Raphael will have something to add here. He knows the Bear much better than I.
I don't know much more than anyone else, but from what I know Bear was moving the operation back home. I assume the rent in Gastown would have been quite high so it only makes sense. I haven't spoken to him for a few months, but that is not uncommon in my case. As far as I know he is still making kilts and still kicking around. He may not have internet at the new den, so that may be why we haven't heard form him as of late.
