Global now ok for ebay?
« on: March 05, 2008, 10:02:41 AM »
I see ace is going to carry Global gear now. Does this mean the no-internet(ebay) sale is over?

back to the topic please, are distributors now going to carry these? what happens to the faithful shops now?



Well I consider my shop to be one of the "faithfull"

And I would love it if my dist.  carried these balls.

It would be much easier for me to get them, and faster.

Yes it might cost me a few dollars more.

Not a problem,  well worth it!!!

Now at the moment,  the two dist. that may start carring the balls, are not dist. that I deal with.  So I will still have to get them from Global.
But hopefully my dist. will pick up the line.

Well I will try to clear a few things up before it gets too crazy.  

Yes Ace Mitchell is now carrying our product line.  Why?  Few reasons, here is the short version.  We are growing at an alarming rate, we need help servicing the smaller shops that order 1-2 balls at a time.  And yes as some have pointed out a few shops will only buy from their distributor, so now they have that option.  What about the faithful?  We will continue to sell direct, we will continue to promote and seek new sales, there is just another avenue open now.  Internet, no.  We have made it very clear we still dont want online sales to affect the pro shops that have, are, and will continue to support us.  You may not agree with the internet policy, we understand your reasoning i hope you understand ours.

That is great news, and I figured it was only a matter of time.  Having seen first hand how some shops are so stuck in their ways of only ordering through a distributor, I'm glad to see that more people will hopefully have the opportunity to experience your product.

Well Eric / Newguy.  I think the news is great.  Hopefully our dist. Gran Prix, will take on your line.  If not, well I will just keep placing orders the usual way.

I am glad to see that even tho you are selling to dist.  that you are maintaining your no internet sales.  I am sure that will make your loyal pro shops happy to hear that.

However if in the future, Internet sales do come into the picture,  I would hope a pricing policy like Ebonite's might be used.

Thanks and good luck

It's so hard not to comment about threads such as this.

sigh ....

wish there was a way to mark such threads as read permanently, no matter how many posts are added after it was read.
