Yeah mods being crazy a few weeks ago before the new rules I got a infraction for selling a niw vx2u?????? Rules clearly state no sales of "Store" exclusives not "Country" exclusives
Half them don't know the rules and just start power tripping and throwing infractions at everyone about anything clearly I was right! It's a country exclusive not store but still have the infraction against me and doesn't expire
Btw how many of these can you get
So it was an exclusive, correct?
The rules never said only 'store' or only 'country' exclusives. Just said no exclusives, which seems to fit. I'm pretty sure it was also on the list of exclusives not allowed.
You get 3 points. Some infractions expire, some don't.

At least they gave you warning!!! I consider that generous of them...I mean, IMO, the rules are pretty well known by now. Esp with the DeMarini Boys...we have been at the forefront of it for quite some time now and everyone still gets all shocked and shaken when someone gets the ban hammer. So i think a strike was QUITE generous.
Stop living in the gray area folks!!

It's a simple rule tho... and yes I'm a FH and a good one at that... somebody ask for a bat tell them pm coach for the low down... it's not our job to sell a bat online or on the field for that matter... CL picks his guys and tells us to promote the brand and bring the sales to a local rep or dga in your area... while online I send to coach... not rocket science

The expense of retailers...lol...lol...lol...what a joke. When someone sells the bat at $80-$90 below the MAP...That my friend is what hurts the retailers. I am so glad you brought it up. The local stores are forced to sell bats at MAP and can not lower them...therefore not being able to compete with online sites(not going to mention any). Therefore the local guy can not get his bat at the local store. Now thats how the retailers get hurt....

Got to agree with this guy. The local retailer is the one who gets screwed out of the equation. My local guy who is 2 miles away from my house can't come anywhere near what SBF sells it for even though he's been around for years and has an account with Demarini.
I'm not a retailer and I'm guilty of looking for the best price. But I'd be shocked if what a couple of factory hitters is affecting SBFs bottom line. Purchasing bats for $150 to $180 and selling at $225 to $240 is going after volume sales and hurting profit margins for everyone.
Consumer has the choice and it's great for us, but let's not pretend like SBF is hurting.

Can't be too simple or they wouldn't break our rules that often. Even with Jerry Garnett telling them to stop, they still continue.
Just seems there is an underlying problem. Being a FH and a member here is like setting a steak in front of my dog, tell her not to eat it, then leaving the room. Most dogs are going to eat that steak as soon as you leave.
From what I see now, all the FH are dealers and can now see why so many Demarini people are getting banned.

Says the guy who's team members sell bats below MAP? Who sets that MAP?

Now, Now....before you throw stones....make sure your house is not glass. I was told that JG told SBF to stop with the whoring of there bats. I could be wrong, but I could also be right.

I'm not casting stones nor do I live in a glass house. I can only go by what I've seen or heard. http://forums.softballfans.com/showthread.php?t=1223074
Not completely sure what you are trying to say here, but seems you just reiterated what I just said.

I don't like banning folks. I'd like everyone to hang around, but understand some of why SBF does what it does. Just trying to find the underlying problem why so many Demarini people are getting the boot. Don't think I'm just coming here to accuse people or place blame. Just trying to prevent future bannings, ya know?

My guess is because people actually buy Demarini and not other brands like Combat.
Wait a....
That's okay, means they are cheaper for me.

people just get greedy and can't help themselves from coming here and selling through emails texts and pm's
large audience and money to be made.... just seems like the FH's get more attention because there are more of them plus the ones who are self proclaiming themselves as a FH....
but don't forget about the average Joe who has a buddy that has a shop and comes here to unload stock that is hot or not moving in their store...

Yeap and the big guys at the D only tell you what they want you to know. Funny you take shots at me when we both are in the same situation, do boy.

You have a good point GoosePimp. I can see if they make profit from selling product, but I didn't think the factory hitters were reps, so they don't make money from sales. I guess they get kickback from the reps they buy from? Or am I mistaken?

hey maybe we can suggest a code for FH's to give out to potential customers that frequent the store that they can enter in the checkout that Coach can track and see just how many referrals come from FH's here....maybe a good option to really see what goes on....nothing of the discount sort...just a way to track activity and business directed to the store by FH's and other reps....i think i am on to something here....
