Ivory Beads is closing because the boys want to retire. As far as I can tell, they were not having too much trouble moving high end guns, even in this economy. That is a reflection of the knowledge they brought to the party and the level of service they provided. We don't have any other dealers of that quality in the area, although there is/was a dealer in the Simi Valley that was advertising some nice stuff a couple of years ago. I stopped by Ivory Beads last weekend just to say hello/goodbye, and there were several of the usual suspects hanging around talking about guns and hunting. I will miss them all.
