quote:I saw all the prices of the 900global line that bowling.com has posted.I have no problem with most of them. From what I saw, none of them are at or below pro shop cost.This pricing is similar to the pricing Ebonite had set up with their floor pricing plan. It allows the consumer to now get the 900 global balls easier, and at a decent price. Yet does not undercut the pro shops. I feel as a pro shop we certainly can compete with just about all the prices I saw posted at bowling.com.ExamplesManiac $109.99 if bought online, then apply a drilling charge of $40-$50.I can live with that.The Bounty $149.99 if bought onlline, then apply a drilling charge of $50. again, i can live with that.This may actually turn more people onto Global. And they still have to get the balls drilled. So maybe instead of them buying Ebonite or brunswick online, they may buy more Global online. And then when they bring it into the pro shops for drilling, they may see that our prices are very much in line. And the next time they buy a ball, they may remember that.BTW, it was jls who long ago posted that he did indeed wish that Global sold thru dist. Now I 'm not sure, but it seems that Global has put some floor pricing on their lines.--------------------jlsEdited on 12/2/2008 1:57 PM
