Can 900 Global explain this?

^^^^

What happened to the no online sales thing that was going pretty good? I'm not bashing 900G at all, just curious is all! The product is great, and I don't care how it's sold, just curious.

Thanks in advance!

quote:
I saw all the prices of the 900global line that bowling.com has posted.
I have no problem with most of them.  From what I saw, none of them are at or below pro shop cost.

This pricing is similar to the pricing Ebonite had set up with their floor pricing plan.  It allows the consumer to now get the 900 global balls easier, and at a decent price. Yet does not undercut the pro shops.  I feel as a pro shop we certainly can compete with just about all the prices I saw posted at bowling.com.

Examples
Maniac $109.99 if bought online,  then apply a drilling charge of $40-$50.
I can live with that.

The Bounty $149.99 if bought onlline, then apply a drilling charge of $50. again, i can live with that.

This may actually turn more people onto Global.  And they still have to get the balls drilled. So maybe instead of them buying Ebonite  or brunswick online, they may buy more Global online.  And then when they bring it into the pro shops for drilling, they may see that our prices are very much in line. And the next time they buy a ball, they may remember that.

BTW,  it was jls who long ago posted that he did indeed wish that Global sold thru dist.  Now I 'm not sure, but it seems that Global has put some floor pricing on their lines.

I agree, with JLS on this. With the prices listed, if someone comes into the shop with any of the said 900 balls that he got of the internet, they will end up giving at least our shop a better amount after it is all said and done. I have no problem with stuff being listed online. The problem that is around is the one where prices are not at a limited set amount.
