    If given the option would you take store credit? If you are an out of towner would that change your opinion? Idk seems like maybe offering both, or just store credit then saying if you want part of a refund we could do that too would be better than sticking with store credit, cuz even if it isn't a full refund, there are a lot of people who would prefer that then get the store credit to a place they dont visit often.

    NO, why would I take a store credit given the option?.. That's why it shouldn't be an option. You either do it or don't.

    It would be in are better interest for all returns to go to those store credits though. Either people will forget about them and we made money doing nothing, or once they do come in, they buy more than what their credit had. Honestly now, when you get a gift card from best buy or something for 50 bucks, your either going to put that 50 towards something and end up paying another 150 or something on an item, or you are going to keep coming back to the place and buy CDs, but your then going to be going over the money on the thing, and buy something worth more than that 50 originally. Business practice wise it would be best if all refunds were in form of store credit. More potential for money to be made.

    In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with in-store credit only returns, particularly for small businesses.

    Dolo is a great looking stick and one of my faves, but isnt 10 pictures of a regular no frills retail stick a bit excessive?

    I wish the guys who get awsome custom stuff would put up that many!

    No, you don't.

    I catalog my gear when I get new stuff in so I have over 350 pictures of my gloves alone... You don't want that clogging up the thread. Not to mention other members that are just as bad when it comes to gear whoring.

    I do like cataloging the stuff though, I rarely don't have a picture when someone asks for a pic of *whatever* and it really only takes about 2 minutes to take a few pics and upload them to my comp and stuff them into a folder.

    Will happily leave it like that, but I didn't say the price for the OS wasn't included in the price, only that a preinstalled OS is cheaper than one bought at retail, which is logical. I couldn't find a better comparison, sry. If I'm wrong or right that's a different discussion, at the end I just hope you understood what I was trying to say.

    I know it's tough to find a comparison, just realize that if you make a bad comparison someone will correct it. No harm meant.

    My head hurts, I guess this is what happens when english is not my first language, so I'll give it another shot. What I was trying to say all along is that it's much better to get a one95 on closeout than a one100, since it's the same skate. After that I wanted to say they could have incorporated some new tech in the new one100 and not just the totalone, like the fusion blade for example. At this point someone said the price for a one100 will be around 600$, lower than when the one95 was launched, 650$. Then someone else said the price of the one100 would rise if they had the fusion blades on and gave a reason for that "if they were to add the fusion steel which costs $100". NOW, what I wanted to say was that they could put the fusion steel on because it doesn't cost them that much to produce and the one100 is a dressed up version of the one95, so it shouldn't be that expensive NOW. Think of it this way, when you buy a laptop you can have a preinstalled windows or something else, linux, whatever, or nothing and you would have to buy a windows license, SO in the price of the laptop with preinstalled windows there is an amount payed for the OS, BUT it's much cheaper than if you bought it yourself (the fusion blades are the OS). I really hope you get what I wanted to say because i can't be any clearer than that and if not F**K it, there was a logical point in there somewhere, but let's leave it like that. Cheers

    It doesn't take an accountant to know that buying a skate that is on closeout is going to be cheaper than buying a newly released skate. This is where you should have stopped talking.

    Your point on Windows is completely different, you cannot compare software prices to hardware prices. ...Aand f you don't think that the licensing fee is included in your PC purchase, you're very ignorant.

    Bauer is not going to punish itself for releasing a limited number of TotalOnes because the one100 is really top of the line... the TotalOne is a limited edition. Aaand don't get started on "Just the same skate," look at Reebok/CCM, Graf, Easton, now look at Bauer's skate lines over the past 6 years. I'm pretty sure Bauer is the only one that actually LOWERED the price of their top of line skate without drastically changing technology. Reebok/CCM didn't come up with something new until the U+, Graf has composite outsoles, Easton just fixed their durability issues. Damn Bauer for setting their bar soo high by innovating a completely new skate every year and recognizing that their newest innovation would cost too much to sell to the majority of their customers.

    You're just wrong, let's leave it at that. :rolleyes:

    I don't know what the cutoff is for the size holder on the two skates... but I'm guessing that the Vapor got the larger holder because it is a wide width while the Flexlite cutoff was the next size up. Oddly enough the Flexlites would be the wider skate.

    I know with older Bauer skates a 10.5D on a wider skate model* or wide width would be a 296 but they changed that for some reason with the one95 and the new Supreme line.. probably a holdover from the one90 line.

    *To clarify, a one95 is 10.5D should be a 296 holder but a Vapor 10.5D should be 288, while a Vapor 10.5EE should be 296.
