Paid $80 online/free shipping. Local Pro shop drilled, plugs and inserts were $50.00. $130.00 is still good for a great piece! It acts like a 200$ ball.

Not going into specifics BUT I am in Calif. The sales tax in my area is 9.25%, not even close to the 5% example used. I had to fly up to Washington state to save over $3000 on a new car purchase from the BEST dealer price within 300 miles of my home. I have a pro shop that is not making me rich by any means but my prices here are much higher than some of the examples used in this post. I have also seen examples of NIB prices INCLUDING SHIPPING here that are lower than my destributor base price! I guess it's all about the area you live in! Now to answer the post.. FREEZE out the door $158.36 drilled no grips/slug.

Use "IT" and BOWL UP A STORM!!


Columbia/DiLaura sets the MSRP at $124.95 here in Mi. Not sure if that is the case in every region. This is what I charge, grips/slugs included. Switchgrip is extra.

I think this conversation is being skewed by some of us on here who are friends with pro shop operators and therefore are recieving a discount. My friends don't pay full retail at my shop, but the going price is for walk-up customers. If they buy multiple balls I will usually discount from there.

In our shop we charge $114.95 plus tax ($121.85 total). This price includes grips and slugs.

This is the best ball you can buy for the money.

Great topic. Probably the best ball out there for the price, we have sold more of these than any other ball. $143.95 + grips/slug, however, House League Bowlers get 10% Off, and I have sold these to several Good Customers as low as $120 complete. Also, we sell All new balls to any/all PBA Cardholders at our Cost, +40 to drill, and 15 more for grips/slug combo, thus making a Freeze $117. Our pricing is fair, and tiered. The more a person buys, the better pricing they receive. All new ball sales include a free coverstock preparation. I am sure many shops operate in a similar manner with similar markups. There are alot of costs, the rent, inventory, and pro shop operators' salaries.

Yeah this is crazy, like the one guy said we have to pay rent and how about the glue that everyone forgets about, yeah at like $5 per bottle and that doesnt last long. $107 that is crazy, and $15 for slug and inserts.

129.95 slug 13.95 inserts 11.95 + tax 168 out the door

Thats is also the problem why pro shops cant make it anymore, we have these retired guys drilling balls for $100 just b/c they need a hobby mean while we are trying to survive on this and when being undercut we cant make it.

looks and sounds like some wholesalers are taking the proshops for a ride.
