In years past, the Scott Catalogues were available on CD for less than the printed volumes. I was curious about the price of the 2010 set on CD compared to the printed volumes, but after searching Amos and some other reputable stores, I can't find the CD versions. Has Amos stopped producing them? By the way, the best price I've seen for the printed catalogs are from www.ihobb.com -- $199 for the 6-Vol Set and $59 for the US Specialized. KirkS

Sold!
Thank you for the heads up. I have been looking for a deal for awhile now. Anyone else might want to take a look as this is a great price even with shipping added. |

Mac, let us know how you make out ! I wonder what the markup can be on Scott catalogs if a guy can sell them for half of retail..this is something to remember for future reference..i have to get at least another year out of my 6 2008 catalogs..i paid 170 bucks when they were a year old !! |

Good to hear it, Mac
My first reaction was that it might be a typo -- after all, that's $100 less than Amos Press even with their subscriber discount. I have ordered supplies from iHobb, but it's been a couple years ago since my last order.
I didn't check their shipping charges, but I hope you'll give us an update on your experience after you receive the goods.

We will see soon I hope. I also have bought from them before and did not have a problem but it was about a year ago. It does say though it is a close out sale. |

For what its worth, the listing does say "this is a closeout price." Someone who wants to act should probably act quickly.

Thanks for the steer to their site. Their Bale's 2010 Israel Catalog is $116 + shipping compared to $145 + which is the lowest I've seen from Israel and elsewhere. |

The $199 for Scott's six volumes is a killer price. Like someone said, that's $100 lower than Amos Advantage. Holy Cow, Batman! |

The search function is very funny. I looked for the Bale that Laswabbie mentioned and got very expensive lists of worldwide stamps !! Then I searched for a watermark detector [Safe] and got Lindner coin boxes !! Londonbus1.....off to search for Poached Eggs!  |

Oh, by the way... has anyone discovered the answer to my original question ... is 2010 Scott available on CD/DVD?
Kirk
P.S. to Swabbie, $116 still ain't cheap. But $30 is better than nothing.

Scoured the whole Amos site and could not find any information. They will be the first to have it though. |

Mac - I talked to my friend Vicky at Amos. They will not be having a 2010 CD version of the catalog, but are planning on a CD for the 2011 set to be released in Oct. or Nov.
I hope you aren't too disappointed. |

Not me but Kirk might not like the news. I prefer the hard copy myself and placed a order for a set yesterday. |

Thanks Swabbie: Part of me likes the printed catalogs better -- I can read them in my recliner. On the other hand, the CDs were cheaper and take less shelf space  Kirk |

The latest issue of Linn's has an ad for House of Zion (on page 30) with the 2010 Bale catalog at $99 postpaid to US and Canada buyers.
For what its worth.
