Srixon Z Star XV for $17/doz at Wal-Mart (YMMV)


pseudoswede

Recommended Posts

33 dozen, if I counted, correct?!? Why?

 

Maybe, you could sell them at a small mom and pop shop for $15-20 each, I guess.

 

I have a SkyTrak with TGC so I damage a lot of balls. That was the reason I wanted 10 dozen (3-4 for the garage and the rest for the course). However, that there is just greedy.

 

I snagged about 5 dozen Z stars all at $7 dollars a piece,3 dozen RBZ Urethane at $5 dollars apiece, and 5 TM burner gloves at 3.50. To your point about why snag 33 dozen, to be honest if he is a golfer and will play them or give them to his golfing buddies I am all for it. The problem in todays day and age is there are guys out there who just flip this stuff and hoard the stashes. While searching for this deal at my local wally worlds there are guys in the clearance rack scanning bar codes to see how much stuff sells for on ebay and it pisses me off. Some guy had two carts full of some large LOL girl kid toys for the sole reason of flipping, I look at that as greedy. Same goes for the Burlington deals, I asked the manager if they ever get golf shoes and He said they set aside for a guy who buys them all no matter size or style, it absolutely infuriates me.

I would report that manager to corporate, pretty sure he can't make that decision.

 

Why wouldn’t he be able to make that decision? His store gets a bulk purchase of an item that the manager doesn’t have to worry about staff pricing them and putting them out. More importantly staff pricing them incorrectly. They get their money up front instead of the items sitting on the shelf and taking up space and losing money for every day they are on the shelf without being purchased. Corporate would likely applaud that since he’s cutting his overhead while at the same time recouping what they wanted in the shoes upfront in the first place. They also have less prevalence for theft doing it this way. Do I like it? No. But is it smart business in the stores part? Of course it is.

Just playing devil's advocate but if you asked a grocery store to sell you their milk in bulk, they'd probably say no. The milk is sold to bring in bodies, hoping that those bodies will buy more than the milk. I build out operations for private companies for a living. If the company wasn't originally created to buy discontinued bulk product and then just play middle man, the odds are that specific manager isn't letting his superiors know and for all you know is taking a cut. It is not lucrative for that store or it's bottom line as a whole.

I’m all for flipping and hustling. I just don’t see it with this deal. When 2019’s are selling for $20, I’m not sure how you could justify 33 dozen. I can assure you those weren’t purchased from one store. By the time you factor in tax, mileage and time, there just isn’t a substantial margin. $5 each, maybe?

FYI for next year. I spoke to a sporting goods department manager today. She said her golf ball modular is updated the end of every February. All the balls they discontinue will be clearanced out then. She said stores are instructed to move the residuals to the clearance section. If a ball is going to be carried the following year but is updated with a new model, the old balls will most likely not see a price reduction and just flow through until new stock is needed. In my area, none of the TP5 balls are marked down as they will continue on. Same with Bridgestone. The Srixon Z Star are completed disco'd from Walmart and why they are so cheap.

Theres nothing like a good ol' Walmart run to remind myself why I never set foot in these garbage stores.

 

I told myself 'no' for this deal for weeks, but then the price dropped to $7 and $2 for the TM balls so I said "Hey, why not!" but boy was I about to be disappointed.

 

4 of the 9 stores around me said they had at LEAST 6 of each item in stock, some even saying 8-9 boxes of balls on hand and guess what? Not a single damn store had any. Not in any clearance isles or anywhere. Go figure.

 

Lord knows the employees dont know jack squat either. It's like talking to a brick wall and half of them dont even speak english.

 

Yay for me!

 

I did, though, find two boxes of Taylormade Burner balls for $3.99 each. So, that was fun. Until I realized they're TM Burner balls, and I have no use for them.

YMMV, but Wal Mart near me had the Ben Hogan pants clearanced down to $13 for gray and $15 for black and navy. These were in the clothing clearance section. Felt like it should stay here as a wal mart thread instead of creating a new thread. Ended up not getting any because I don’t wear slacks to work really anymore and I have enough pants to get me through the cooler weather until I can wear shorts consistently.

I might have a problem. Went to the 3 Wal-Marts in Bismarck/Mandan and this is what I ended up with:

 

7 Dz. Rocketbalz Urethane $7/each

3 DZ. Z Stars. $7/each

4 Callaway Players Towels. $5/each

8 TaylorMade Burner gloves. $3.50/each

4 Bridgestone Gloves $2.50 each.

1 DZ Floater golf balls. $2.50.

No problem, you are good. You came to the right place for support.

I just found some XV's on Brickstock at a local Walmart. They have two dozen according to the site. Trying to decide whether it's worth driving across town. For $7 a dozen, it's hard to beat. I think I have to pick my daughter up in that neck of the woods about an hour after I get out of work. Will be limited on time, so I will have to fly through there. Are the TM gloves you guys are finding cabretta?

Well, struck out. The only clearance golf item they had was a taylormade visor.

Yeah. First time using it. I kind of figured as much.
