I feel bad for them as they are sold on something that for the most part doesn't work because they still need to take care of the marketing.

With the type of market that appears to be upon us, hopefully that will slowly be less used (it will never go away).

Joey and others, that was my point. The owner has representation, very limited, but has some sort of agreement. And now he is looking to change his limited representation to a little more - limited representation. In the words of Dr. Phil, "And hows that been working for you?". I'm just saying changing from limited rep to limited rep may not make a very big difference.
