I missed where mderrick sold his dive shop, but generally I listen plenty and I read more, thank you.
It's clear to me what happened. He saw the future, knew that local dive shops are closing all over the place because of internet sales despite the best efforts of the dive shop owner, he got out of the local dive shop business to focus his efforts on the prosperous internet scuba sales business, and the poor sap who paid a lot of money for his business lost out big time because he didn't realize that internet scuba sales were going to be his undoing.
I hate being right all the time.
