Mass Closeouts...

For over a year now I have been buying random equipment from http://www.masscloseouts.com . I have been having their bulk order list sent to me as well, this requires a minimum purchase of $500.00 but many of the items are discounted beyond the savings found on their site. CLICK HERE to see their Lacrosse equipment available. If we combine purchases for several members of the team we can all save money in the long run.
