Collage going out of business? - Page 2

deesharee · 03-11-14, 06:45 PM

I just spoke with one of the video specialists at Collage. She said that management has made the decision that they can no longer compete with the larger companies. The employees are sad, and I am too.

I hate that! It was Collage that made a vidiot of me. So sorry to see them go!

Maybe we should all get together and buy it...

I think the competing with Mary's site hurt them also. I will miss their "staff favorite" picks, and their catalogs. This is too bad!!

That's what I suggested. When the Coming Soon page wasn't bring updated.

Wow! I can't believe it.

In true vidiot fashion I took advantage of the sale and scored a great deal on several workouts.

Hear, hear!

One last full cart in honor of the years of great catalogs and video clips!
(And if DH has a problem with it, I'll tell him it's my LAST Collage order EVER!)

Oh my goodness, this makes me sad. I started buying from Collage way back when they were a new company. I used to adore receiving their catalogs, back in the pre-internet days.

I also thought something was up. End of an era.

I am so sad. I really depend on their reviews. Mary's site never has nearly as many. They also got me started on the road to vidiocy. It is also true that I haven't ordered from them as much as I once did so I am partly to blame for this loss.
