I own and have owned at least 10 saws and now they are controlling the minium price that they can be sold at!!!!! I think this sucks and i am done buying from them for now join in with me and protest buying them until they drop price control!!!! I am disappointed by you Mr. Buzzsaw after long emails between me and you two weeks ago and i am now done with your company i feel others on this site should oppose your new methods also!!!!

amen jim i like there stuff but controlling what little guys like doug and drillwizard with price control is BS!!!! I am not spending 180 plus drilling for flipping bowling ball from any company, i am let down by them and probaly done for good now.

I think it is wrong to squeeze your customer base with price control and believe as a business owner myself in free enterprise. I compete against Office Depot everyday and beat them out of bids daily if companies like 3m and papermate were too control prices like Lane 1 is doing i would be out of job soon!

I hate to say it but Drillwizard a very nice guy just bought 4 visionary balls from ebay for 335.00 shipped and Doug which i like what i read from him and would use him in a minute are going to put under by Lane 1s greed to control the small base of core bowlers like me and others. I hope this policy chnages asap because price control is plain bad for all of us!!

So the same day that Lane #1 announces a price floor, a few lane #1 faithful post topics touting the superior physics involved in the Diamond core.  

What a coincidence.  Don't ya think?

IceEmQuick i wish to keep the post on the right road i never said anything to offend you and wish to just protest price control on this thread. I think danh78 means well and do not feel he meant to offend you at all, so please do not hijack my thread thanks

Hmm, I didn't mention any names, did I?  Maybe the word "few" was used to both mean that there was more than one person and to not single any one person out.

I couldn't care less about your phone records.  As I said "What a coincidence"

co·in·ci·dence    
n.
1. The state or fact of occupying the same relative position or area in space.
2. A sequence of events that although accidental seems to have been planned or arranged.

I believe the events of today fit number 2 to a T, would you not agree?

Sorry if your feelings got hurt, I was only pointing out what I saw as two very interesting events.  And considering you have no idea if I was talking to you, I think being told to "shove" anything is a bit out of line, but since you nothing about me other than what is typed on this screen, doesn't bother me a bit.

Steven, there is a difference between selling your product at whatever price you desire, and requiring that secondary sellers charge for your product. It is also known as Price fixing, and is generally one of the items brought up during anti trust cases.

I do agree, that they are legally allowed to charge whatever they want and they don't have to sell to people who are not willing to follow their price requirements.  

I don't know the actual prices, but let's say they sell the ball to a proshop for $140, if that pro shop only wants to make $10 on the ball, shouldn't they be allowed to sell the ball for $150?  The supplier already got their money, what should they care?

Dude thats just low, and money hungry. Charging alot for a ball, to support a small company is one thing. But charging a MINIMUM price, is just low.
