Ill sit on em and punch all 4 up if I need to! Its a great ball.  I wont take 100 bux for one thats for sure.

I see some of the gems on here and what they go for, most of the 15's are non existent already.  Hell there is 'junk' on here for 150+..Ill work with you guys if u dont send me a low ball offer.  Like I said I can make my own money off these in bracket/sidepot money.  I have been looking for one for AWHILE now, and jumped on the chance to have a case! If they arent worth $200 to you, they will be worth it to someone sometime soon, and it will make them happy to have one again.  There's nothing like wreckin some people with a GREAT ball like this, especially one that stands alone in the bag like the critical..

Thanks for looking.

Yea, sit on them for a while, maybe a year and you will be able to get even more than that billdozer.

I buy and sell a lot of balls, the critical is one of the rare ones people are going to be looking for hard once it's gone.

Ask anyone what they have to pay for a Virtual Energy or Virtual Gravity, $200 won't even touch one these days.

Great find!

Glad to see there is someone with business acumen on this forum! I know what I got!

It's a great find indeed on a great ball.  Someone will pay that price.

I would never pay that much for one though, there are a lot of other great balls out there for far less.  I'll never understand why people are willing to pay extra for discontinued bowling balls.  I guess some people have more money than they know what to do with.

^exactly... Nobody in the right mind would spend 200 dollars on a newer version they can get 60 bucks cheaper... Then again there is that one dumby that thinks its worth 200
Title: Re: bought a case of critical theories tonite!
Post by: billdozer on August 23, 2013, 04:31:31 PM
Well I bought them all for me but there is always a price!

Whats even worse is id rather have a case of infinite's to be honest here!

Ill respectfully be the adult here with a valid response.   The theory line rolled way better for me the than the defiant. ..I did very poorly with the og defiant and the edge...with a nib soul waiting in the wings.

I bought case becuase it did well for me.  I know someone will feel the same.  Thanks for checking out my post.

What ball is $60 cheaper and a newer version of a Critical Theory?
Title: Re: bought a case of critical theories tonite!
Post by: ChrispyBrownies on August 25, 2013, 08:22:32 PM
Nice catch.

Im in the same boat as milo. I buy/sell/trade all the time with gems, and $200 is not a lot. You will sell them for that for sure. Im not sure when though to be honest. I know a lot of people that liked that ball.

Are you looking for $200 shipped or without shipping?
Title: Re: bought a case of critical theories tonite!
Post by: billdozer on August 25, 2013, 11:52:59 PM
Im asking for 200 + shipping, I can do fedex or usps..

Thanks for being polite too! Much appreciated chrispy!

He's probably referring to the Totally Defiant...Roto's new HP Pearl.

If you feel that strongly about the infinite's, I have one NIB #15 I would trade you straight up for a critical.  ;D ;D

Post by: milorafferty on August 26, 2013, 08:20:04 PM
I'll get you pictures of the box label and the pin/cg/mb layout tonight. I know it's close to 15.3-15.4 or so with a pin around 3 inches. If I remember correctly, the pin/cg/mb is a straight line. It's hard to keep track when you have 80+ NIB balls. LOL

Man! I would seriously consider that! That ball is really great on wood ths!
Title: Re: bought a case of critical theories tonite!
Post by: milorafferty on August 27, 2013, 09:36:59 AM
Here she is. Box says pin is 2-2.5, but it's 2.5 as you can see.

Honestly, you can probably sell a Critical and buy an Infinite with some left over.

If you are interested in a trade let me know. No rush on it, my Infinite isn't going anywhere. LOL

Now who in their right mind would pay such an outlandish price for a bowling ball??  :o ;D ;D

Congrats on a good investment Billdozer. I didn't think they would sell this fast, but I knew there would be buyers over time.
