Well Crap - Kesselring is closing

I knew that Kesselring had lost their Federal Firearms license but didn't know that they were closing. From their website:
About Kesselring Gun Shop
Kesselring Gun Shop Inc was started in 1947 by Clarence Kesselring who began as a machinist and self taught gunsmith. Clarence became frustrated in the late 1930's that he could not find a good set of scope mounts. He began manufacturing his own design of scope mounts in the early 1940's until opening Kesselring Gun Shop in 1947. Clarence's son Ron Kesselring, worked alongside his Dad since he was a small boy. Ron began working full time in the business at the age of 18. Ron is world renowned for his vast knowledge of optics and competition shooting, winning the Canadian national Championship in .22 Silhouette two times, and tied for first in the U.S. Nationals once. Ron has also participated in the Washington State .22 Silhouette and .22 Gallery competitions placing as state champ twelve times! Today Ron operates Kesselring Gun Shop (still in it original location) with three of his boys, and 22 other committed employees. Kesselring's always tries to offer you competitive pricing, and fast service. We can usually get our internet orders shipped the same day if the item is in stock. Kesselring Gun Shop primarily sells firearms, ammunition, optics and reloading supplies. We stock more items than listed on this website so please email or call if you do not find what you are looking for.
I was taking a break and checking out my favorite auction website and saw this:
