Wow, All Star looks much like BuddiesProShop.com. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I see so many companies that are working under different names.  Like Bowling.com has MGBowling.com, Bowlzilla, and bowlingballsales, and now BallReviews.com

Thanks for the compliments guys.  I'm actually the one who's doing the design and maintenance of the site.  I'd really like to hear ideas of what you guys would like in an online pro shop.

One thing I've noticed is that there is no FAQ so there is no way to view the payment options, how soon will my order ship out, will I be charged for shipping a ball back to me after you get the specs off of it, etc. That link just goes back to the main page.

there are still things on the site that havent been finished, FAQ included.  STill about 2-3 weeks of development.  Sit tight =)

Looks very nice, easy to navigate. I especially like your price on the Lanemasters AP2($0.00!!!)(I'd like to order one(at that price, make it a gross!), but I suspect shipping might me a WEE bit higher than normal, for some strange reason.

Seriously, the site looks really good, though double checking all the prices before going official would be a good idea.

Site looks really nice.
Something I would love to see would be a list of specs for the balls in stock.
That has always been mt only reservation/concern when ordering online. But if the specs are listed there is nothing to worry about. I think some people would purchase from you over others based on the feature. Not that you need any help in that department, but you can never have to much on the competition.
Not sure what cart software but if it has a good inventory system implementation should be pretty straight forward and the data entry/stock check-in would be the only thing that may get time consuming.

It's a wonderful site and it makes me want to buy something!

I don't know how many Mac users are checking it out but running 10.3.9 and 1.3.2 Safari it gets a little hung up on loading - and then crashes if there is any attempt to navigate anywhere. Running Firefox 1.5.0.3 it crashes the browser if you attempt to access the site at all. I have repeated this action several times with each application to verify the results. I am, however, able to access and navigate your new site if I run Netscape Navigator 5.2.3 for Mac. I would be curious if other Mac users are experiencing the same things. When I was able to view the preview of your new site - like I said - it's a thing of beauty.

Id be willing to put all specs up there if there
was a way to handle it with the shopping carts.  Essentially
what your asking for is something I used to do all the time
in normal inventory (Serialization).  I havent seen a cart
program that handles that.   If anyone can put us toward
something like that Id be willing to listen.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe what are you using now?

Edit: Nevermind I see you are using cubecart.

Have you looked at os commerce it has a ton of add-ons and it is open source so it is all free and there are tons of people that donate their time towards it's development.

OK, upgraded Firefox 1.5.0.3 to 1.5.0.6 and it works swell. No upgrades for Safari so it just sucks. Again, great job on the site Noy.

Thanks for all the input.  Its been invaluable!   Im a big believer in
listening to what the customer wants and suggestions.  They will help go
a long way to turning the website into the easiest to use.   We are
currently trying to find a way to list out all specs when you purchase
a ball online so that you can select the exact ball you want to buy or
if you want to specify one you dont see you can do that.

Thanks again and hopefully within the next week it will launch!  I am
sure we will be doing a grand reopening special for our BR.com members
so keep looking

Joe

I too had wondered how Joe would be making any money...but...he's selling at ridiculously low prices....and I'm taking advantage of them....so more power to him

He's like the Wal-Mart of the online proshop world

Why is it so important?  He's giving you the benefit of low prices and great service.  Are you a pro shop owner or have an online shop as well?  If he can offer low prices, I don't see where there's any room to complain.

Joe Has one of those Star Trek replicaters as he asks for a bowling ball just like he ask for his dinner kidding aside All Star bowling is as honest as they come mezz do you question your local gas station about gas & how they make a profit no Its really no ones business what he chooses to sell his products even at a profit or a loss its his choice quit anal-izing him

Post by: allstarbowling-Joe on August 29, 2006, 09:17:28 PM
Evening all..

Actually I think I should take it as a badge of honor
now that themezz has found time to start slamming me.  
I guess I have arrived LOL.

I find it amazing that someone would spend so much time
trying to figure out things that someone else is doing that
if he actually spent that time on something for himself he
could actually be finding a way to a profitable business.

Thanks,
J
