Bonanza's I sold as GP2 were actually OVERDRIVES!!!
« on: February 06, 2005, 08:20:21 AM »
I sold a few of these balls as GP2 color blems and they actually turned out to be unreleases OVERDRIVES... Just a heads up to all that bought them from me.

Well at least they still got a new ball.  I don't believe the overdrives are even on the market yet are they.  If I had bought one I wouldn't of cared.

They were just posted on the website.. I just thought it was the right thing to post being that I stated I was only 75% sure they were GP2's.  I had lots of complements on how great they rolled as well.

tenpin, there is a big difference between an overdrive and a GP2, one is the most hooking particle ball basically on the market and the other one is a midrange ball .  Currently my house shot is long, really long, this last weekend I bowled an ABT tourney second squad where there was more backend than my regular house shot...I honestly have no use for an overdrive, while a GP2 woulda helped, but oh well I took the chance and it failed....

Beans your Ebay auctions are not stating if the balls are bonanza's or not.  What is the case?  Are they first runs or bonanza's?  I know someone that might be interested in the dry heats but I don't want to get one and have it show up as a bonanza because it wasn't listed in the description.

Please keep in mind that these balls were $50 shipped......That's right $50 shipped!!!!!  Also,  at the bottom of all my Bonanza auctions it clearly states the balls are blems.  If it is not there it is first quality.. It is right next to the shipping costs.   Beans

I looked at a couple of the auctions, and the part about the Bonanza label is right near the bottom.  Probably easy to miss.

purduepaul,  I know that there is a big difference but that is the chance you take when you buy a bonaza ball.  He also stated that he was 75% sure in the posting not 100%.  He is giving the best of his knowledge on the balls and selling the pretty cheap at 50.00.  If you want a new ball and know for sure what it is then spend 130.00 and buy a brand new 1st.
