Your Opinion and Ideas Wanted!

The Staff at VBLI is working very hard to provide the most comprehensive volleyball site possible. During our efforts we have implemented several new features and programs, all 100% free of charge.

A while back it was suggested that VBLI start selling items as an Online eStore. We looked into the idea and realized it would conflict with our ultimate goal! VBLI.com does exist to sell product, we are here for an entirely different purpose. However after a tremendous amount of thought it was agreed that VBLI could offer a few items at unbelievable prices. For example: VBLI would place a bulk order on Sand Socks or a Particular Model Ball which would reduce the price to the literal cost. In keeping with this concept VBLI will only offer five products at for a limited time.

We want to know what you think of this idea? We want to know what kind of products you'd like to see?

Do you have another idea to improve VBLI.COM please let us know via the Contact US link below.

Sincerely,
VBLIStaff

I think it would be cool if we could do group buys to get volume discounts on select items. I also agree that it shouldn't be the focus of the site.

Why not try to sell some items to help promote the site: vbli tshirts, visors, sweats etc. many of the sites I'm a member of use cafe express to do some of that. In addition to promoting the site it will defray some of the costs of keeping the site up.

I'd be willing to help if need be. I've done a bit of this before.

You read our minds! We are looking into a bulk or group purchasing program and will be posting information on that subject shortly.

We looked into Cafe Press, however we have already started on three shirt designs Tee and Hooded Sweat Shirts both top quaility material and the cost is kept down. The Tee's will be $10.00 and the Hooded-Zipper Sweat Shirts will be $23.00.

In fact we are looking for some people to submit designs for the next printing. We can take this to a private message. Let me know your thoughts on CP and their pricing.

Some great ideas guys.

I'd like to invite VBLI to our beach tournament in Rocky Point Mexico the weekend of April 22, 2006. Shirts and ball stop banners with VBLI all over would instantly reach 800 volleyball players.

I'm looking for 16-18 of the old style Spalding Top Flight 18 Gold beach volleyball. One for each court. If you can get a deal on those, I will gladly buy them through VBLI.
