Your opinion is noted, we have done really well. We understand some people won't pay these prices and that is totally fine. The prices represent the rarity of being able to buy one of them NIB. If we list a Snap Lock for $250 we wouldn't sell it because you can go to any website or any pro shop and buy it for cheaper including drilling. That's not the case with a majority of your product.

Hope you have a great day.

Fair enough. You don't need to have every person think it's a fair deal, only one.

But did you need to spam the message board with your site 11 separate times?

Every post was different, I was commenting on each different  brand. I didn't really think that was a problem. If there wasn't a spot for each brand then I wouldn't of done it. Should I of posted the Storm in the AMF section idk.

It seems to me you are advertising your business on a message board, where other businesses (bowling.com for one as far as I can see) pay to advertise on this site.  The for sale boards are for person to person sales, not businesses. 

Perhaps I'm wrong and someone will correct me. Even so, you could have posted your site on the general sales spot and indicated that you have multiple brands available at your site. To say that each post was different because you changed the name of the brand is disengenuous. You are looking for free advertising for your business.

Perhaps I'm just tired of seeing the same thing posted in multiple areas (which happens way too often) and I'm just cranky enough this evening to finally vent my spleen.  Good luck selling your stuff

I'm a person that has a ton of older stuff, When I sell a ball, it goes from me to another person. I'm no where bowling.com. If I'm doing something wrong, some type of admin, get ahold of me.

I think what is confusing is that in your original post, you used the words 'our' and 'we', plus most individuals do not have a website set up to sell bowling equipment.

I would love that Double Clutch but I have to agree with everyone else....your prices are just way too high. I might do $100 shipped for that ball but that's it. I understand they are older rarer balls but that's no reason to rake everybody over the coals. You could sell more if you come down on your pricing. I'm not trying to bash your business or anything. I am just a consumer that doesn't have an endless wallet full of cash. I like to buy bowling balls but only at what's affordable to me and my budget.

Yeah... you have some nice gems. Pricing for your site has always been too high. Also, I'd be worried drilling that Heist with 1/2 oz top. You get 3.5 oz taken out by a big hand, and you have too much bottom weight. The second Heist and the Victory that isn't NOS I would possibly pay (The Fire Hawk has always had my eye, but I am not paying that much, even for one of my all time favorite balls), but the rest is too high. Good luck, sir.
