To find sporting goods online is easy, finding a discounted price will take some patience. Every manufacturer of sporting goods has a site online where their merchandise can be purchased. This includes Rawlings, Wilson, Louisville Slugger, Mizuno and Easton. The strange thing is that for the lowest prices on these name brand items, the company’s home site is not the place you will find them.
A good example of this is the Rawlings SL115MT Sandlot Series 11.5 inch infielders / pitchers baseball glove. On Rawlings home site the glove is sold for $82.99. On Dick’s sporting goods the retail listed price is $89.95 but their price is $79.99. On baseball rampage this same glove is sold for $69.99. Shop.com has the same low price of $69.99, while buy.com has the price of $79.99.
Part of the difference is shipping. Buy.com has free shipping when you purchase this item. Baseball rampage does charge $8.95 for shipping this glove but if you’re total goes over $99, then all shipping is free. Shop.com is a redirect site that finds the lowest price online and directs you to the site. In this case it was baseball rampage. Dick’s sporting goods charges $6.79 shipping. The Rawlings home site charges $6.99 for shipping of this one glove.
This is just one example of why it depends on how you shop online to what the final price will be for your baseball equipment or any other sporting goods. The site, shipping and if it is the real site or a redirection, will all be figured into the price of your item.
