Official peg warmer thread

[jedeye]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have not yet seen or been able to find a thread reporting on local peg warmers (discs that just do not seem to sell). For me, it is at the local Academy (have no real disc golf stores that are very close). I go in every few weeks just to see what they have gotten in since I last checked. I am generally amazed at how much product they are able to move. They must sell a metric ton of Innova, Discraft, and Millenium discs there each year! However, there are always those few discs that just seem to sit there, week after week...

Drum roll, please....

Peg warmer of the last few weeks goes to....

Innova Boss in Champion plastic - seems to not be moving much at all (same colors and weights each week, full peg w minimal apparent turnover)

So what has not been selling lately in your local disc store?

 

[brutalbrutus]

Pretty much anything in dx or pro-d. lol

Must not be i-dyes. Those get sold in lost in the right rough.

 

[Nasty Nate]

A lot of stuff, I would say.

Seems like no one is buying any Prodigy discs at my local store. Maybe I'm wrong, but they only have a small section of Prodigy discs and they always seem to be stocked.

You are right. The I-dyes have sold out quite quickly, in all models (even the Groove).

I'm a sporting goods associate at walmart our peg warmers would be the dx skeeter and the pro starfire. I don't even know if we have even sold one of the skeeter. I think innova only keeps the mold around to sell to big department stores.

^^^ jealous, Walmart stores in the south do not carry discs at all!

I noticed this at the Fort Smith store they have a ton of them. Where in Arkansas are you?

The Walmart in McAlester has Innova DX for $8 and Pro for $12.

There are certain Wal-Marts around Fort Worth that carry a small selection of Innova. DX goes for $6.96! I, too, have noticed a ton of Skeeters and Stingrays hanging around the shelves.

Lot of DX Leopards and Beasts at our Wal-Mart. You'd think those would sell better than Polecats and Archangels.

At the local Hastings store, pretty much everything is a peg warmer. I'd assume their prices have something to do with that.

That is cool to find out. I have never seen discs in any WalMart stores before. I am in Central AR and have looked for discs at WM in AR, TX, MS, AL, and FL without success. So what discs never seem to leave the shelf where you live?

 

[jedeye]

Stopped by the store yesterday to see what was new -- Boss's still chillin', got more Blizzard plastic in, and a new stock of Omega Soft Putters, those things seem to fly off the shelf pretty quickly.
A recent restock of Birdies, Challengers, and Omegas makes me interested to see what moves fastest. I am amazed how quickly the 12X Rocs disappeared. They got some of the 2X McBeast Roc3's; I bet those will go quickly too.

prodigy does not seem to be selling, starfires and pearly x out beasts

also those maximum discs or whatever that cheap terrible crayon plastic is. not even worth looking up the name, no one ever buys those. ever...

 

[whentherainscome]

I don't visit enough to see what's stagnant (it's dangerous for my wallet!). I do know that they have had the same selection of C-PD's for over a year, but S- and P-PDs cycle out. As well as the same handful of max weight green and yellow C-FDs.

There was a short lived store in East Lansing and he couldn't move ANY MVP.

 

[JedV]

Grooves. Don't know why! ;-)

 

[ncgamedog]

Local PIAS keeps an insane amount of inventory, so I monitor it pretty closely haha.
I mostly look through the used stuff for old gems.
It has reached the point where there are so many grooves and monarchs, I have suggested the manager just throw 90% of them away. In fact, I was so tired of digging through them all one day, I went through the entire used racks, and pulled out every Groove & Monarch. I organized them all together, and it literally filled 3 entire discs racks lol. Safe to say the value of a champ groove is abt $3-$4 cause thats what PIAS will give for them haha.

As far as new stuff goes, The Prodigy stuff is looking pretty dusty, and I dont think they have restocked in a long time. It may have, honestly, run its course. The hype/fad has subsided, and everyone is beginning to realize their molds are just "Meh". Great feeling plastic, but that doesnt make the discs fly better.

MVP moves out fast, so does the Dynamic Discs stuff. Discraft moves very slow.
Interestingly enough the Dynamic stuff goes crazy fast, followed by Lat64, then Westside. Its only certain molds from Lat64 and Westside that go, the rest just sits.

Starfires in any plastic and DX beasts seem to be everywhere around here and I never see anyone throw them. Also tons of Buzzz but that may just be the stores overstocking good sellers.

 

[rocthecourse]

starfire.

starfires

Starfires

I keep trying to like the Starfire because ever store that carries Innova has a bunch in stock. Also, almost every person who has a box of used discs in their trunk has as least one. That's a disc that you know you could replace anywhere anytime.
