If you were looking for an original undrilled red Pulse......
« on: November 22, 2015, 08:38:08 PM »
and you have an extra grand laying around, it can be yours!

WOW!!!

Same seller also has an original Code Red (not the special edition) undrilled at $450. I talked to the seller the last time he had the Code Red listed he had a Best Offer on the Code Red, so I put one in and was rejected immediately. I asked what it would take and he responded with the ball is not meant to be drilled, it is such a gem it is a collectors item and is going to be treated as one. He said he would knock maybe 10 bucks off the listed price. Maybe.  I guess he really likes the original Pulse.

This seller sounds completely irrational. If you're listing it for $450 and will only accept a $10 reduction, then you do NOT list it with a best offer come on.

No bowling ball is meant NOT to be drilled. Once bought, it is none of the seller's business what the buyer want to do with it.

I can get my hands on an original one with the pretty box for what it cost when it came out back in I think 97 but I could be off on the year.  It's 14#

Almost as bad as the SD-73 I saw on FB, guy in Italy wanted $1500 for it.

If I bought this ball and put it on display in my man cave, then invited 100 of my friends and relatives over to view it...........they would say "what have you lost your mind, it's a bowling ball just like all those ones at the bowling alley".
Code Red, Code Smed, Code Ted........to most people it means nothing.

Necro,

The one on Bowling Gems is the remake that came out in 2001, 5 years after the original. The remake also did not have the "Power Point" pin, so there are some definite differences between the original and the remake.

Regardless, I would not pay $450 for the remake or the original.

I wouldn't pay that for any ball. My SD-73 was given to me for appreciation for some work I did for a guy
