I never said the IMCA was bad, there are many great people that make it up. That said dealers running a collectors group is highly conflicting when the dealers can band together and eject members (who also sell) for things that others do - at least one being a board member... Perhaps dirk Ross care to comment on just how many times and how many members asked about IMCA budget info... I was far from the only one just I was the most vocal when I ran for the board - and had more then a couple votes... Old news though, right?
