Now is it just me or am I the only one here that thinks it's hilarious that jls is calling people children when he himself is the one acting like one?

 

Its hilarious! But I got tired of his childish behavior and sifting through his nonsense in every posts.  So on the iggy list he went so I don't have to deal with the nonsense.  Out of all the forums I visit on a daily basis, he's the only one on the list.  Go figure

 IMHO (one that JLS probably won't agree with) isn't so much that the manufacturers are having to prop up the market by enforcing a floor pricing system, it is that the bowling ball and proshop industries are FAR AND AWAY over bloated.

 

 I blame the very people JLS is lauding, THE MANUFACTURERS!

 

 They have used marketing ( and perhaps planned obsolescence) to drive the demand for bowling equipment to artificially inflated levels, then fired up the plants to produce way more equipment than needed to meet those artificial demands.

 

 This has produced a market where there are FAR more proshops than are actually needed. This would NOT be so, were it not for the market being artificial.

 

 The proshop industry has been duped into believing that it is a viable business that can be self supporting and lucrative, when in fact the opposite is true, AND I THINK THE MANUFACTURERS KNOW THAT.

 

 GOOD PROSHOPS ARE NEEDED, but not in the quantity they exist now, and that is the crux of the problem. Manufacturers pumping out far too many balls, flooding the market with product that can't be sold, then creating a new model and discontinuing the current model that is flooding the market, and starting the process all over again, leaving the proshops to fend for themselves in a tight economy with an outdated inventory they can't sell at full price any longer, just to keep their OWN wheels turning.

 

 JLS, the manufacturers couldn't care LESS about you. They will tell you otherwise, but if they did really care, they would STOP flooding the market with so much junk and work WITH you to promote and move as much merchandise as possible BEFORE coming out with something new.

 

 Like I've tried to say before, to me it ISN'T about price as much as it is about lies and unfair practices all created by the manufacturers in order to protect THEMSELVES. They couldn't care LESS about you proshops because they know SOMEBODY will drill the balls, and they don't care if it is a highly trained professional like yourself or a "hole pounder" in his garage.

 

 They created this monstrosity, and have left you proshop owners out there to deal with it, then enlisted your support with artificial claims of supporting you through "floor pricing", basically getting you to sing their praises while they are busy flooding the artificial market they created and making things harder for you.

 

Good transactions list in my profile

More name calling and more avoiding the question from the great one himself, JLS

I guess if you can't answer it, that's all you can do.  So please do us a favor and get off the pc for a while and join the rest of us in the 3 dimensional world.  Wait, Im sure this is the only site you post on 375 times a day.

So until you can answer the very simple question, why don't you go count the hundreds of balls you have in stock, and then come back here and parrot something interesting that you can claim as your own idea.
