Same quality. both are legit shops. They don't sell fake stuff.

The cost of doing business is a lot higher in the US than in Eastern Europe.

Also I believe, at least for Butterfly, many manufacturers have suggested retail price for each region: say N. America v.s. Europe v.s. Japan.

I used to order from Paddle Palace long time ago. I don't know how they manage to stay in business with TT11 and Dandoy Sports on their back. Selling table tennis equipment is not an easy business to stay afloat.

Thanks for let me know that. I know Tabletennis11 always sell products has low price more than Paddle Place from $5 to $10. But they have lower price for one item to maximum $10 only. But with the Blade Tibhar Bernadette Szocs , Paddle Palace have higher price than Tabletennis11 to $21. Hard to beleive Paddle Paplace run their business by that way so it easy make customers think these these two blades from Tabletennis11 and Paddle Paplace have different quality.

I own my own business so I know how expensive labor cost is in North America. That explains the high prices at Paddle Palace.

It is up to you where you want to order your blade from. Paddle Palace, Tabletennis11 and Dandoy sports do not sell fake goods so you should be fine ordering from any of them. Tabletennis11 also has this massive 30% bulk discount if you order $300 or more per order. Now we all know margins are thin so I don't know how tabletennis11 can survive to take another 30% off but I guess their model is to sell as many as possible while keeping margins low. But giving away that much margin (30%) will surely bankrupt Paddle Palace and other North American table tennis suppliers. So I hope you get the answer you are looking for. Best of luck!

Since Butterfly dominates the market and has pretty uniform pricing, and PP is a Butterfly dealer while TT11 and Dandoy are not, I would imagine that's how PP can remain in business. Plus, when you're not bulk buying most of the items' price differences aren't that much, worth it for a lot of people to pay for the quicker shipping if you're in the US.

TT11 sells BTY rubbers, if you are in Estonia. BTY doesn't give you the right to sell its products internationally, only locally.

TT11 is the official Butterfly dealer for all of the baltic states, but you can only see these items if you enter the TT11 website with a "correct" IP address.

Consumer prices in the US of A (and also Australia for that matter!) are generally flat out insane from the perspective of an average European (whatever that is...:LOL:). Be it food, restaurants visits, housing, health insurance/surgery (or treatment) costs (if one wants to consider this issue as "consumer" price). A fair share of Americans/Aussies would probably not work for what I earn in a month...

I saw that idea that TT11 was not an authorized Butterfly dealer and was going to say something. But, decided not to. Glad you guys jumped in with the actual info. :)

TT11 won't sell Butterfly products outside of the region they are allowed to sell in. Therefore, if your IP address is not from within that region, you won't even see the Butterfly products on the site.

Ah I see, nevertheless the Butterfly gravy train probably helps PP stay in business.

One thing to know about Butterfly's sales policies: probably Paddle Palace makes a smaller margin on their sales of Butterfly equipment than on any other brand. Butterfly fixes its prices for each region. It does not let authorized sellers sell from one region to another. And it takes a huge percentage of the total price charged to the customer itself.

Feel free to ask @Tony's Table Tennis about his experience dealing with selling Butterfly products. :)

If y’all are right in saying BTY has set prices for every market and is not allowed to ship outside within that market, then ProTT with their super cheap BTY products must be breaking all sorts of rules or they are all fakes (I know the clothing is fake but i heard that ProTT sells genuine BtY Blades and rubbers even tho they very cheap)

That's a "grey" area. ProTT should not be BTY Authorized dealer, but somehow, (who knows??) manages to get in hand some (very few as I see) BTY products that it sells. I don't know if they are genuine or fake, probably are genuine otherwise it would be very bad for its name. There are also other stores too that do the same.
