Is Scott Mounts Soon To Be No More?

But that is the thing. Amos has a lack of funds because they are not capitalizing on demand. There is a market for Scott pages and Binders.

My guess is the demand is not sufficient to make them affordable due to minimum order quantities to get a decent price and they do not want to tie up cash with unsold inventory if it takes an unacceptable time to recoup.

It can be a catch 22 situation and happens often when companies try to save their way by cutting costs (impacts revenue) to sustainability.

I do not believe there is a significant market with "new" collectors but mainly from existing Scott users.

I'm not so sure about the market for traditional Scott binders and pages. DIY albums have become increasingly popular over time and definitely ate into demand. No two ways about it. Add in Scott offering pages for every Country when some of those only attract a small fraction of the overall stamp collecting population at any given time and the business model isn't sustainable. Then along came historic inflation along with huge supply chain problems. They don't strike me as a "let's pivot" type entity and so here we are. Fighting shrinking demand while costs for product climb and not able to engage in "shrinkflation" tactics. The only way out for Scott IMO would have been to bite the bullet and aggressively narrow their product line to products that they know sell in volume and stock those products. You cannot have US on backorder along with Afghanistan. That is nonsensical. And maybe the mounts are not a winner for Scott. So, acknowledge it and get out of the mount business.

I recently bought the three larger units at a VERY good price, but he MIGHT still have the others available.

I still have the 2 post versions.
