Hmmm... I just ordered some $2.74s last week myself, but I am not sure how one can judge new management based on the stupidity done by old one. If anything, they should be applauded for re-hiring the workers (giving them jobs, that is, instead of unemployment and then what?) or sending jobs overseas.

But I guess I have a very skewed sense of what's right, so I apologize for butting in...

Well maybe the new management should have changed the name instead of trying to pump life into a dead cow. My problem is that the new customer service line is who diagnosed and told me to send the lighter in for repair. Without so much as a phone call I was greeted at the mailbox not with my repaired lighter but with an invoice to purchase a new lighter for 60 dollars...because they don't have the parts....come on now. I guess since that 40% off of the 100 dollar lighter I sent in maybe thats a good deal.

Uhhh nevermind getting the brakes fixed on that Toyota just close down and re-open and say you don't have the parts and everything will be fine...

The people who were rehired are the ones who were making crappy lighters under the old management. Maybe new workers should have come with the new management.
