i wager dollars to donuts that this outfit never goes public. most jewish orthodox businesses are closely held private entities. this is primarily due to jewish laws prohibiting monetary exchanges on the sabbath. hence the store being closed on sabbath (and other jewish holidays) even extending to the website. if b&h were to go public the number of non observant owners would outnumber orthodox owners and they would eventually want to make money 24/7.
i actually recently introduced someone to b&h in person for the first time and it was like watching a kid in a toy store for the first time. b&h is everything most people in this thread make it out to be - an electronic equivalent of willy wonkas chocolate factory. and it is also true that the staff there really know their stuff. they have no problem telling you whats shit and whats not.
