Many of our customers ask, " Why are your
prices on Above Ground Pools so much lower than other stores or
websites?"
Well, we can't tell you why our competition
prices are so high, but we can tell you why ours are so low.
First our buyers have access to manufacturer's over production
on various models. They are looking to sell their over stock,
and we are looking to find the lowest price for you. The
purchases are made earlier in the year and we pay cash,
the manufacturers lower the price even more.
Sometimes the prices are "kept" high
by the manufacturers. There are a few pool manufacturers that
we do not deal with anymore, because they would not allow us to
sell their pools, if we did not sell them at their artificially
high retail prices. Arthur's is dedicated to selling pools to
you at fair and no nonsense prices. We don't factor in shipping
to our prices and then say "free shipping" and we
don't sell pools that are marked up beyond a decent amount.
Also some pool manufacturers set up
"exclusive dealerships" with one pool retailer in a
county or state. In order to buy this pool you have to go to his
store, on his time and pay his price which is usually double or
triple the normal price. ( He has to cover all that overhead.)
What isn't planned for in this "sewn up" dealership
scenario is the independent internet pool retailer, like
Arthur's.
Typically this scenario plays out like this.
-
A Pool Costs the exclusive dealer
$1000.00
-
The Exclusive Dealer marks it up to $5000.00
(Hey, you want his pool right? You can't get it anywhere
else...or can you?)
-
The sales man who smiled while he sold it to
you pockets $2000.00 In commission(does he smile when you
need help later on?)
-
The Dealer takes home $2000.00
-
and you take home a pool we would have sold
you for $1500.00 (or less) Pool with a wallet that is
$5000.00 lighter.
At Arthur's it works something like this:
-
Our Buyers purchase the $1000.00 Pool for
$500.00 (or less)
-
We take our usual markup (we do have to stay
in business)
-
And you buy the pool and take it home for
well under $1500.00 and have received value for value.
-
Oh, by the way you take home 60+ years of
Arthur's Expertise and Experience
Just in case you ever wondered.
