Well, I guess the new owner got things back together quickly. I know the domain name alone sold for $76000, but it looks like it is back up and running and new stock is being added (although you can't buy much yet). The going out of business sale had the place stripped down to just thumbscrews for sale.
For people out of the US, they now ship worldwide, which is nice.
Trying to find out who bought it... Let me know if you know... Seems funny that it is like back to business as usual and all I saw was a post that read:

Yay for google, thanks jason.
It seems wierd that such a business/government oriented company would choose to enter into the consumer arena. They must really believe that the online retail market is about to turn around big.
