From Linda at ReStore: My personal life is going through a change and I am now looking for a buyer for the business. If anyone has seriously considered operating this type of business, I will generously share any pertinent information with you or someone you may know. I love what I do and I never drag my feet going to work each day. You too will meet the best people in the world — people who share your philosophy of people, planet, profit. It is a privilege to do this work. Think about it. You heard it here first. Thank you, Linda

Update: It was a fake. I talked to Larry and he said "I hate buying those things."
