What is the deal this stuff is the bomb best polish out there havent bought it since beginning of last year, I went to buy it this year and now the biggest they have is 8 0z bottles and it is almost the same price that it was for the 32 oz bottle that i bought the year previous i understand everything is going up a bit but dont you think that is a bit rediculous? There are others out there that do the job and you get more for your money just venting a bit what do you all think about it?

About once a month somebody comes on here with this same post and I understand why. But, the average 8 oz. bottle of Secret Sauce can do between 30 and 60 balls depending on whether it it used properly. If you go to a Pro Shop to get a ball polished they usually charge at least $5 per ball unless they run a business like a hobby and do it for free. Anyways... Do the math..

I tracked the amount of time before reorders when I sent out the one ounce samples to people and the reorder percent was unreal as far as the reorder percentage of sample buyers. Very high. BUT...The average time for a reorder was over a month later and most customers told me how many balls they did with the one ounce bottle. The price increase was justified by the concentrated potency of the Secret Sauce. The need to buy the polish was decreased by the power of the product.

In turn, I had to raise the prices just to stay in business and make it worth while. That was even hard so I turned to the ball companies to see if they wanted to purchase the exclusive rights to the product and help with marketing. Lane#1 stepped up to the plate and we came to an agreement.

Let it be known that it was not Lane#1 that decided to raise the prices. It was myself after comparing my product to the rest of the similar products on the market. With that said I am 100% possitive that the Lane #1 Secret Sauce is priced at a fair market value compared to it's competitors.

Thanks beans

I guess I understand both sides of the arguments, but doesn't quadrupling the price seem a bit over the top? I mean, you can get a ton of applications out of any type of polish if you use it right and don't overapply.

It comes down to who thinks the product is worth it and who doesn't. That is what's great about the freedom of choice. If every product out there was $24.95 for an 8 oz. bottle. What products do you think would survive and what products would fall off the market?? Cheapening the value of your products by selling at discount prices is like saying your products aren't as good as the competition and can't hold up to the price. It is all how you want to look at it. I can assure you that sales didn't suffer much with the price increases and the complements continue to come in. That speaks volumes of the quality and popularity of The Secret Sauce.....

Heck, Other companies are even naming balls after it....

You can get just as many applications out of Snake Oil as the Secret Sauce same size and it is much cheaper. Oh and works just as good imo.

BeansProShop · « **Reply #11 on:** September 29, 2008, 07:06:08 PM »

IMO,
If that is the case...You are definitely using too much Secret Sauce and not applying it properly. This is the case with most. You can't use the Secret Sauce the same as cream based polishes. If you do you are wasting alot of polish.

I agree with Beans here....Lane 1 sent me a sample 2 oz bottle of the Secret Sauce. I have used it on at least 2 balls a day since I got it close to 3 weeks ago and I still have 1/2 bottle left! That's 1 oz of polish to do 25 balls!!!

I used to use Track's Magic Shine exclusively and I only got about 50 balls out of an 8 oz bottle of that stuff.

The Secret Sauce is just plain awesome.

If there are any other companies who'd like me to try their product and compare it to the Sauce I'd be more than happy to. My pro shop address is:

Doug's Pro Shop
1404 Taylor Road
Owego, NY 13905

Until someone else wants to step up and make me a believer in their product I'll keep using the Secret sauce.
