Break Pearl Online-Removed
« on: February 11, 2008, 05:11:21 AM »
Just wanted to update all those tuning in.  The Break Pearls were purchased by a customer from a brick and mortar shop.  Customer wanted to drill them at a later date, and is in the armed forces.  He was given notice that he would be deployed in the near future and decided to sell online.  I contacted the shop, shop contacted customer and it was removed. All is well in the wonderland that is Global.

I drill my own stuff, so I guess I'll never drill up anything from 900Global.  So far, I doesn't look like I'm missing anything or going to miss anything.

well, so much for me ever buying a 900 Global ball.

i have no problem with their COMPANY POLICY of only selling equipment directly to pro shops, but when SOMEONE ELSE purchases the ball, they have every legal right to sell it by any means THEY SO CHOOSE.

900 Global has no right to force the owner of their equipment to NOT SELL IT ONLINE.

i'm gonna leave it at that, i'm starting to type like JOE FALCO

I agree with you, please read my post in the other thread regading ebay!!!
Internet sites and consumers on ebay are not the same animal.
Unless of course they were aquired outside the normal channels or are comps or PBA purchased balls. Those are the issues we are concerned about.

Every ball company has balls that everybody raves about.  The hot ball right now seems to be Roto's Cell. But Ebonite, Storm and Brunswick all have hot product right now.  Don't think I'll miss 900 Global.

It's pretty simple.  900 Global will either stop this no internet nonsense, or remain a shoe company that also makes balls no one uses.







 I believe just the opposite will take place, once the pro shop owners realize that selling 900 Global equipment allows them to maximize their profits then more 900 Global equipment will be sold.

Bingo,  i agree with this post,  however I feel this line of balls would sell
well in pro shops, even if they were online.  The ball gets great feedback from real bowlers!!!!  

I wish 900global would sell to dist.  That way, I could get them faster.
As for selling online,  If Global does not want them online,  Maybe they could make that their policy, when selling to their dist. >.  no online sales.

But either way,  Their line of balls is really starting to move.  Sold 2 more Break pearls today.

Now as for this new company going head to head with any of the big boys,  well keep this in mind.  Ebonite paid someone big bucks for Columbia.  So who knows
just who might be investing in 900global.

Now as for that ebay thing,  Do you really believe that story about someone in the military needed to sell the balls because he is being shipped out?

I think that is just made up by who ever got caught trying to sell these balls on ebay.  If a real pro shop did sell these balls to a consumer,  then there is really no way that 900global or any company can stop the consumer from selling them on ebay.  and the fact that these balls were indeed removed from ebay,  leads me to believe that it was either a pro shop or a PBA member that listed them.  Not a soldier.

yep.  because on the other thread (which magically disappeared), I told exactly what happened and why.  I'm not going to keep wasting my time posting things that will continue to "vanish".  So instead i'll just sit back and laugh.

are you suggesting that there is censorship going on on this site to protect certain product brands or names. if so, say so.  it is hard for us slow people to read between the lines.

As a proshop owner I like the fact that someone in this business
is stepping outside the box to try and help the brick and mortar
shops.   Only recently have I tried carrying some of their eqiupment
in one of our shops and so far the reaction seems to be positive.

JLS may be the smartest guy on here.  Wow did i just say that?  They should just do both, sell to the distributor, sell to the shop direct.  Set a price make it the same from both, then everyones happy right?

Now to Bombsaway,  Actually sir, 900global's price to the pro shops on their highend ball is much lower then just about any highend ball we now buy from our Dist.  Therefore, it does indeed appear to me, that 900 global is not trying to make extra profit.  And that is why pro shops can indeed sell their highend ball to the consumers at a lower price then most highend balls we buy from our dist.  

However, I feel that there is a "real" need for dist. in our business.  And for that reason,  I would like to see 900global sold thru dist.  But that is up to them!!!!

Bombsaway, have you seen their prices?  Trust me they are passing the savings on.  They are around 18-20 dollars cheaper, and they include frieght compared to a Complete NV from our distributor.  I am sure they are making a few extra bucks, more than normal, but they should.  They are doing all the work now.

Bomb-Well if you get the same margin I understand.  We charge the same and just pocket the extra dough.  Thats the business thing to do.  High end is in the eye of the beholder. Some say its dictated by price, others performance.
