Cabelas "Limited" Edition Hardcover Fall Catalog

[Brian]

Anybody else get one of these? Was wondering if it was something special due to the incoming Colorado stores, or only sent to a few people or something? It seems awful expensive to send out as a catalog to everybody.

[Marlin]

I got one years ago.

[bigun1962]

Usually get two per year. One spring and in the fall.

[sniper7]

Yup!
i can't wait for opening day!

[johngraves2]

I also get two per year and have for several years now. i think they give it to those that spend X amount of money there each year. Must be so expensive to print and ship!

[hatidua]

I get them but find it surprising that print catalogs even exist anymore.

[Bailey Guns]

1 or 2 per year. Guy that runs a dude ranch up here always bugs me for one to put in his bunk house.

You'd be surprised indeed. My company deals with selling names to marketers, and about 50% of our business is to catalog companies. When they were interviewing me, I too expressed surprise, but they explained that catalogs drive interest. You can't really browse too well online, but having the catalog lets people see things that they might otherwise not get. So even though they will then buy from the website, it was the catalog that drove the interest. You can also pass catalogs to your friends and family, giving it even more value.

Catalogs do work on me.. Mine get stored just beneath the toilet paper roll.. I read the shit out of me and then get off and want to buy...

[ChadAmberg]

I still have the Spring edition in the bathroom....

Cabellas makes money on their catalogs. Product distributors and/or manufacturers pay money to be listed in the catalog.

I now have a pile of these Cabelas hardback books. Other than the obvious, any creative ideas of what to do with these things other than throw them out?

- Target backstop
- Jack stands
- Reinforce the overwatch point on my house with cabelas books and phone books for when the zombies come

I see some people trying to sell them on eBay, but not many takers.

[Hummer]

I've gotten the hardbound catalogs for 3 years. I don't like them; harder to use than the soft bound catalogs and too much resources go into producing them. We likely get Cabela's catalogs every week of the year. I look through most but would be happy with 3 or 4 a year and mostly just use the fall catalog.

[TRnCO]

I've also been getting two a year since I can't remember when.

Land fill 'em

[brutal]

I would rather the costs, or savings depending on how you look at it, go into lowering the price of their merchandise.

But hey, that's just me.

And yes, I get them.

Agreed 100% there.
