The CFC's home page says this:


Sale
Most books 35% OFF. Most software 25% OFF.
No backorders.
While supplies last.
Free shipping on orders over $100.
Go to the CFC store.

If the retail business has been sold to a (hopefully arm's-length) third party, then why does this ad continue to appear at the CFC website? There are some plausible explanations. For example: the webmaster hasn't had time to update the page yet, or; the sale hasn't closed yet and the CFC is allowed to continue disposing of inventory up until closing, or; the sale has closed and the buyer is allowed to use CFC facilities (including building and website) to store and sell inventory until some specified future date or event; etc.

Just curious.

p.s. I'm not a governor so there's no need to keep me in the dark.
