Title: Abralon on bowlingball.com
Post by: Hank Hill on February 16, 2009, 05:24:55 AM
I'm guessing these come in 3 packs but does anyone know for sure? I can't find anywhere that says.

The why I see it, they are sold separately with free shipping on each.

I guess it's just really not that great of a deal if they are sold separately but it does look like that.

I thinks its 6.39 each. Regular price is 7.99. But I did call them to verify and the sales lady indicated that she believed that it was the price for 3 because the description stated "pads". Indicating more than one. That was her answer to my question. If I had it in an e-mail or in writing I would order some. But with my luck, it would be 6.39 for one pad. Okay deal but not as good as 6.39 for 3.

Ya they are on sale on ebay for any 6 pads you want for like $19.  Not really sure how 6.39 ea. is supposed to be a blockbuster deal.

I can get abralon in the UK here for £0.89 per pad anything between 360 and 2000, so I'd be amazed if you had to pay more than $2 for one over there in the US, it sounds like these guys are making an absolutely massive profit on any of these they sell!

Keep Looking

AngloBowler,

You're forgetting one very important factor. Abralon are made in Finland. So they not only have to be shipped here, there are import taxes and probably several extra middlemen in the dtribution chain all requiring their "cut of the pie". Right now $3 per pad is relatively cheap. $6 per is the average price per individual pad.

Of course when you start buying in lots of 3, 5 or the box of 20, they get cheaper and cheaper.
