Would a Columbia Piranha/C be worth selling?
« on: April 10, 2008, 07:08:40 AM »
I have a piranha/c that I don't use. It's been plugged once and redrilled in almost the same spot to change the span. I don't think its ever been resurfaced. Would it be worth selling or is it not even worth the shipping? All opinions are welcomed. Here are some not very good pics. Sorry.

Yes, it would be worth selling.

I know may people that would probably jump at the chance to buy it!

I have an original Orange Piranha with that same exact drilling. It was given to me as a single-drill ball with less than 30 games on it, and the span was close enough so that a double-slug jobbie was all that was needed to get it to fit. That drilling is actually very rolly and aggressive, and I have never seen a ball clear the heads better than that ball.

The pin placement seemed to pull my track close to my finger and thumb holes, close enough so that it would roll over the holes for the first few rotations. A flare increasing weight hole pulled the track away faster, thus eliminating that little problem.

I guess the bottom line is that although the drilling seems exotic, it actually works very well for me.

One of my friends in highschool had the Jade Piranha/C with the exact same layout.

It would definitely would be worth selling, it looks almost new.
