Their prices seem better than retail. Just want to make sure they are legitimate before I consider ordering a bat or two from them.

From what I've gathered, bat manufactures fix their retail prices to keep sales competition fair, so then how do these guys or any other company offer bats for less than manufacture suggested retail price?

If they are advertising below map/retail...they are not legit. Manufacturers would pull their contract in a heartbeat. That's one thing
that is not tolerated. Until map policy drops, you must follow pricing procedures.

I can sell the bat for whatever I want, but cant advertise it

And yes, I have been known to have the best prices around, and not just when the bat becomes 10 months old like these other stores, my prices are the same from release to end

I bought a bat from that website and then found out Core could beat the price. Waiting for the cf9 and then I will buy from Core

Does this basically mean, for example a DeMarini CF9, your price would be the same price when they come out in June 2016 as it would be when someone asks to buy one from you in for instance April 2017?

FYI - Core does baseball bats too. I just got a BBCOR bat for DS at a great price, with superb service. If he can source a new bat, he has my business.

Depends when mapp drops. It means, I don't sell bats for retail or like 10 bucks off for 6 months making
a ton of money. Then drop the price 20 bucks, then after another 2 months drop
another 10...yada yada. Then when mapp drops go even lower.

Means my price was what it was from day one up until about mid April when I know mapp is dropping and I need to get
out before the big guys kill it to pay bills off.
