So bad.
But hey, it's capitalism.
ps...on that link it says "20% to 40% off" - is that much considering most items are sold at "retail" anyways? What would be a good buy?
-
Oh...Scott was the one who got bought out? ... pretty sad.....he was such a good fellow, very friendly.

Quite true Dennis!If the place was so fabulous well run and prosperous then there would have been lots of profits to share and they wouldn't be in Receivership.
I've had some real bargains from Maynard's sales over the years and am looking forward to more.
Of course a person has to watch not everything will be a deal and it's only a bargain if you need it.

If they had money to buy out Scott why don't they have money to stay in business? I really don't understand ecomnomiks.
-
It wasn't Scott who as bought out.
The guy who bankrolled the store wanted his money back as he wasn't getting the return he thought he deserved-so he pulled the plug.

Ahhhh I see....hmm...still too bad...the store tried some novel things to spice up the fishing experience...I liked the beer evenings best and the young women were quite pleasant in their well coifed hairdoos.. :-*

What I heard (and its second hand info) is that when the owner/oporator opened the store he had a single investor to help him get up an running. I have been told that the investor put in $2 to every $1 the owner/operator antied up with.
The dispute came from what to do with the profits (ie the investor wanted 2/3 of the profit) and that landed the store in its current perdicament...
If the store is indeed profitable, hopefully Scott will find a way to get things back up and running.
Does anyone know if they have rod building supplies? I could use some cork.

Excellent Store with Excellent Service. I'll be sad to see it go, but I'll be there looking for a deal. I always thought that Anglers West was the nicest store in the lowermain land, and more often than not they got my business. Especially after the my last visit to M&Y
-
I wont be there, out of respect for scott. But hey, if you dont mind profiting on others misfortunes, thats your perrogative. Sam you don't know the facts, you shouldnt pretend to. The fact that you are celebrating the closure of a great fishing store highlights your continued disregard for other people and your general selfishness. Way to go, another shameless post.
-
While it truly sucks that a classy guy like Scott had problems which resulted in this, I would have to say that buying stuff from the receivership sale isn't disrespectful. You're not taking money from Scott at this point. From what I understand in these situations he is now out of the cash flow picture, and it is the receiver who is handling the liquidation of remaining assets.
On that note, it would be nice if we didn't sound "celebratory" at the opportunity to save money due to a good man's business misfortune.
>:(

Sad state of affairs. Scott is a class guy who has contributed alot to the fishing community. Too bad he was $#@ by his so called partner.
-

Yep. that IS disrespectful. If you want to go tomorrow, go ahead, Scott won't take it personally. Let's keep the "I heard this is what happened..." out of it.
Good luck in your future projects Scott once this is settled. You'll always have our support.
Sam, what are you doing here? The saltchuck is still open to trolling for sockeyes.
-
Hi DS...
You're right, its not taking money from scott at this point, but i'd feel bad about it....I dont think I would like to see a whole bunch of people lined up in front of my "old" store just waiting to feed off its remains. I wouldn't want to go through that myself, so I'm not going to participate. I'll follow my conscience on this one.
-
nice to know will be there :)
-
you should be ashamed to go to this sale.rember hold your head down as you walk out! scotty is our friend.
-
I wont be there either out of respect for someone I consider a friend. The guy is just one of those guys that doesnt charge you for the "extra's" If you buy something or not he will give you advice. A class act and hopefully he re-considers and tries again. I for one would be lining up to greet him if he opened up again.
Good luck in what ever you choose to do buddy.
-
It is really sad.
It was a great shop, the best I have visited, with really awesome service and advices.
I am sure the guys won't have any pb to find a new job.
Good luck

Such is Retail !!!
in another ten years from now you won't see any specialty shops left in any regard.. Internet sales and huge warehouse stores are gradually taking over... unfortunately in the end it is all about the mighty $$$$$
I have never met Scott but i am sure he will do well with his next venture..
-
Dragonspeed is right in that the receiver who is appointed by the financial institution involved is handling the liquidation of assets to recover monies owed by the business. I respect the decision by all to not take part in the windling down of assets.
The total proceeds of the sale will help reduce the indebtedness of the principals of the business to the financial institution and will thus reduce the amount of personal loss sustained. Purchases will be a benefit to Anglers West , so buy lots guys.
-
I think that would be about right. It should help with the dept load to purchase stuff now before it goes to Maynards warehouse for diposal as I've seen before. They probably charge a lot to move the stuff to the warehouse and storage/disposoal fees etc. I try to go there and blow some cash, but again that means driving into Sulivan town :-\ Probably get charged for loitering.
-
Is is a financial institution or the partner to which these funds are going?
If the liquidation is being forced by the partner in order to extreact his investment then Scott could be better off after that obligation is cleared...everyone speaks highly of Scott and he seems to have the communities' support so hopefully once the partner is out of the way, he can reopen. Certainly buying gear during the recievership process wont hurt Scott anymore than he's hurting now, and indeed it could be one step in a process of him getting things back on track.
That said, does anyone know if his store has rod building componenets, I need cork and eyelets.
-
scott does not benifit whatsoever from the wieners,yes I said wieners, liquidation you are only helping the snake that put him there.
Its funny how many people are willing to support a sponser of this fine website but will not respect the proper way to do buisness in their time of need....
-
I hear alot of negative banter towards his former partner, but I am wondering if any of this should be pasted on the web?? does anyone really know or have proof of what happened in this business or is it all here say?? I for one wouldn't appreciate my business being spread on here.. maybe we should keep our opinions to ourselves.. if you don't wanna go don't go but don't drag someones name around when you don't really know what has happened..in the end Scott and his former Partner are the only people that know what really happened.....
-
Good post Rick. :)
-
Well said rick. It's really none of our business.
