RockBottom Golf jacking up prices for Black Friday!

The same thing happened with me when I was buying my stuff this summer. They had a 4th of July 15% offer, so everything's price was jacked up, which was OK considering that the 15% off will make them even cheaper than how they were originally, but when I checked out and tried using the code, it did not work.

I ended up buying things with the jacked up price!! I could've saved $80.
It was really stupid of me, I admit I was too hasty.

i think regardless of how they do their sales, they still have some awesome deals on there. hell, $169 for a set of Forged Nickent Pro CB's 5-PW??? Thats a steal.

I think at the end of the day, everyone should just look around for the best deal and not always assume that RBG has the best deal. No big deal, it's capitalism.

As far as quality of the products, has anyone had any issues with buying clubs off the site? I always figured RBG's inventory came from wholesalers, lot buys, etc. I purchased a few shirts and was not really impressed. They do always seem to have deals on bags, and now they have the TM Burners for like 120 bucks. 9.5 stiff should be a 9.5 stiff right? Now i know that each club can be a little different with different degrees of offset etc from the manufacturing process. Is there a chance that RBG may get some clubs that would be traditionally sold in an "outlet" type store for items that don't pass QC?

Hey there! Thanks for checkin' in. Here's a quick breakdown of how this Caveman keep his pricing as low as possible and takes the pressure off your pocket book. First, I set my normal price, which is almost always the lowest on the block to begin with! Sometimes I'll go even lower than this normal price when I'm featuring an item on my home page, in one of my newsletters, heck, maybe I just have too many and need to clear some room in The Cave! I call these my super cave specials. Specials could last a day, a week, a month, who knows! I like to play stuff by ear. But once a HUGE sale like my 15% off hits, all specials disappear because my 15% off pricing is EVEN BETTER! So yes, it could look like I'm raising my prices to the untrained Caveman, but in the long run you're still saving EVEN MORE! And while I'd love to give you 15% off my special pricing, I'd love even more not to have a 2nd mortgage! Thanks and I do apologize for any confusion.

Wow I may actually have colon cancer with the smoke that was just blown up my arse. So what your saying is your raising your price say 14% but giving a 15% off on the best deal so it's a one percent savings on some items. Other items not so. Sounds a lot like a Walmart sale while it may be good buisness for RBG it's still smells of a snake oil salesman. And the response is just a justification for a not so much sale. I understand you need to make money and your company does offer some good deals. I think what most people are looking for is a trustworthy discount company they can deal with.
