Schedule 13D

     Bradco Supply Corp., a New Jersey corporation ("Bradco") and Barry Segal,
an individual ("Segal" and together with Bradco, collectively the "Reporting    
Persons") hereby file this Amendment No. 8 to the Statement on Schedule 13D     
which was filed on October 2, 2002 (the "Initial Schedule 13D"), and amended by 
Amendment No. 1 filed on November 4, 2002 (the "First Amendment"), by Amendment 
2 filed on November 27, 2002 ("Second Amendment"), by Amendment 3 filed on      
January 24, 2003 ("Third Amendment"), by Amendment 4 filed on February 25, 2003 
("Fourth Amendment"), by Amendment 5 filed on April 1, 2003 ("Fifth Amendment") 
by Amendment 6 filed on September 11, 2003 ("Sixth Amendment") and by Amendment 
7 filed on November 25, 2003 ("Seventh Amendment") with respect to their        
beneficial ownership of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common     
Stock") of Wickes Inc.                                                          

Item 1. Security and Issuer                                                     

    This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock of Wickes Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company are 
located at 706 North Deerpath Drive, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061.              

Item 2. Identity and Background                                                 

No change.                                                          

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration                       

Item 3 is supplemented as follows:                                              

    Neither Bradco or Mr. Segal have purchased nor sold any shares of Common
Stock since the prior Schedule 13D amendment. The Stock Purchase Agreement dated
November 2003 was not consummated as the conditions to closing thereof were not 
met. The Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of June 23, 2004 referred to
Item 7 hereof does not effect any change in ownership of Company Common Stock by
Bradco or Mr. Segal.                                                            

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction                                                  

    The prior Item 4 of the previous Schedule 13D, as amended, is superceded
and amended to read in its entirety as follows:                                 

 The purpose of the contemplated transaction is for Bradco to purchase
operating facilities in a region in which Bradco conducts business. Subject to  
all applicable legal requirements and the factors referred to below, the Company
has agreed to sell to Bradco substantially all of the operating assets at 12    
Company facilities located in the Northeast. The transaction was approved on    
June 28, 2004 by the Bankruptcy Court with jurisdiction over the Company and    
remains subject to competitive bidding from third parties. If the transactions  
are completed in accordance with their respective terms, then at that time the  
Reporting Persons would continue to own beneficially or of record all of the    
shares of Company Common Stock now currently held by them.                      

    The foregoing transactions shall take place in accordance with the terms
and form of the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement which is incorporated by      
reference to Item 7 hereto.                                                     

    Subject to all applicable legal requirements and the factors referred to
below, the Reporting Persons presently intend to from time to time to either    
purchase or sell in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions     
shares of Company Common Stock or Company debt instruments. In determining      
whether to purchase or sell shares of Company Common Stock or Company debt      
instruments, the Reporting Persons intend to consider various factors, including
the Company's financial condition,

business and prospects, other developments concerning the Company, the reaction 
of the Company to the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of shares of      
Common Stock, price levels of Common Stock, other business opportunities        
available to the Reporting Persons, and other general economic, monetary and    
stock market conditions.                                                        

     Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated, the shares of Company
Common Stock would be expected to continue to be authorized to be traded on the 
NASDAQ OTC and would be expected to continue to be registered under the         
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.                                                

Other than as indicated above, the Reporting Persons do not have any
present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the        
following (although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop such     
plans or proposals): (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a      
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company, or any of its     
subsidiaries; (ii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Company 
or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any material change in the present            
capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (iv) any other material change
in the Company's business or corporate structure; (v) any other material changes
in the Company's charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the        
acquisition of the control of the Company by any persons; (vi) causing a class  
of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange 
or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system of
a registered national securities association; (vii) a class of equity securities
of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to    
Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (viii) any actions similar to any of   
those enumerated above.                                                         

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer                                    

No Change.                                                          

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to
Securities of the Issuer.                                       

Except as described above and in Item 3 and 4, none of the Reporting
Persons (or other persons listed in Item 2 of the Initial Schedule 13D) have    
entered into any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal
or otherwise) with such persons and any person with respect to any securities of
Company including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the           
securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, put or  
calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or     
withholding of proxies, naming the persons with whom such contracts,            
arrangements, understandings or relationships have been entered into.
