I don't think there will be a lot of tears shed on this board if that's true.

I'm not surprised.  After they were booted from ebay, I tried to contact them to find out why and to determine their current status; I never heard back from them.  Here's a few more numbers if you haven't already tried 'em:

615-443-3337 - contact number listed on TZD.com
818-706-2051 - ordering number listed on TZD.com and for their administrative contact (Gregory Schneider)
386-314-4906 - number listed for their technical contact (Richard Chenoweth)
615-469-4035 - die gelb seiten
615-443-3337 - also from the yellow pages

Parent Company:
    Shipping Solutions Inc.
    49 Business Park Drive
    Lebanon, Tennessee 37090

P.S. - There are numbers in the white pages for the two dudes listed above, but I haven't listed them on the off chance that they are not they are not one and the same.

That era ended long ago when TZD sold everything to Redfrog.

I wonder what Steve thinks...better yet, I wonder if he kept stuff when he sold it.  Would be cool to contact him and buy from him.

Thirded. These Redfrog guys were assclowns right out of the gate. TZD has been "out of business" since Steve sold it. The real crime is that the TZD name/stock didn't get sold to a decent individual/group instead of those jokers.

I'm curious what will become of all the unsold stock. I hope they find a way to get it out there rather than destroying it. Although considering their track record, that's probably a bit much to hope for.

He is probably living off the fat of the land and wanting to raise rabbits like Lenny.

He's probably still running http://ampie.com/ or something. You never know though, he could have sold that too!
