Title: Price on The Professional
Post by: Justin_Thyme on April 26, 2005, 05:53:36 AM
Just Curious on the prices everyone has seen for the Ball. Got our first one in yesterday and have 5 more in next week.  Not sure what price we planned on yet but   we will take pre-orders for the 5.  They will be 15 lbs  if your interested send me a message i will be able to say for sure that they will not be less than 170.00 + Shipping.  These balls are limited.

yea, sure give me all 5 of them for that great price!! NOT..

It should be priced no different than any other Columbia high performance ball which is $125- $135 plus ship, at the most..

Good luck selling them..

I do not agree with you on this one. This ball should be priced higher due to the fact that it is already rare because they are limiting the amount a pro-shop can purchase.

BIG deal.. Is this ball made of gold or something?

Buddiesproshop.com will have them in due time.. If someone wants to pay $170 + ship for a ball and then pay to have it drilled, then go right ahead..

The only way I see the Professional showing up on ANY internet site, is if BowlersParadise sells a select few. That is only because Nick Melnikoff has 5 pro shops, so he'd be able to get about 80 total.

If they show up anywhere else, Columbia might as well dig their own grave with pro shop relations.

It looks like there's gonna be a lotta Columbia fans searching the Lane #1 archives for effectively combating the overpriced argument.

Yes, but there is no special diamond core to argue about in C300 balls.

I don't see to many of these going up on the Internet since everyone is buying this ball at the same price. If a proshop loses a sale to the internet on this ball then its there own fault. The only way this one will sell on the internet for a decent price is if the customers local shops didn't buy into the concept.

i'd say it'll go for about 180 or 190, although...that shirt is pretty nice...lol.

The shirt alone is probably worth $30-40, assuming you can wear a large...

Is there anything quantifiably special about this ball, or is it just that it's a limited supply?
