I am attempting a new strategy for bowling ball sales. The concept is Cost + with an emphasis on quantity sales. Additionally, I will only charge my actual shipping cost and provide inexpensive drilling fees.

I dont intend to compete in quantity with Buddies online services. But I will be lower than them all. The goal is to provide the lowest cost period and provide only top quality (no factory 2nds) and service on a limited scale. Hopefully in the neighborhood of 20-30 balls per month.

My goal is not to replace my good paying job but to provide extra income for me and my son to use as entry fees for tournaments where we hope to convert  it into some profit.

So here goes:

Drilling: $15.00
Drilling with Slug and Inserts: $25.00
(I am not selling Slugs and Inserts otherwise)

1 Ball = Cost + 20%
2 or 3 Balls = Cost + 18%
4 Balls (case) = Cost + 15%
Larger Quantities Discount upon request

Here is my initial Ball Offering to test the concept:

As you can see, some manufactures provide greater profit margins than others. If you are interested, please send email to:
BowlingKnowledge
If you want drilling services you will need to provide your spec's including your PAP and layouts.
Additionally, I will need your complete shipping address including phone to provide accurate shipping prices. I use Fedex to ship as I have a a good discount with them.

I prefer PayPal transactions.

Thanks for your consideration

What is the zip you are shipping from?

Shipping from 38125

My distributors are not associated to the PBA.

I simply am passing along the pricing that I am receiving.

Thanks for the interest as I am overwhelmed at the moment keeping up with the emails. Keep your eyes on this thread as I will be modifying with SOLD and New items.

For items that do not sell in a reasonable time, I will be placing on EBAY at very special pricing to liquidate focusing on products that will sell.

Is your posted price the "cost" on the ball, or does it already include your 20% markup?
