Since these are readily available off of eBay in the $60-$80 price range, I will offer you $80 shipped.  LMK

Sometimes the bidding stops there, but not that often. Last week, I gave up watching on ebay when one reached $105, with plenty of time left over. I paid much more than this a while back. If I have no takers in a reasonable time, I will consider your bid. Thank you.

I followed that link and it was for bowlingball.com auctions. I USED to get some balls once in a while from the on EBay but not any more.

You may get a ball for that price, but with them you never know what spec on the ball you will be getting. I once was suppose to get a new in Box Ebonite Adrenaline. The ball was in a Columbia box, I asked for a 2-3 pin and 2 1/2- 3 1/2 oz TW. Well the pin was a 4" and the TW was 1.50.

Charles has a ball with some good ball specs.

That's funny because I have bought probably 10 high-performance balls from them off of eBay at unbelievable low prices (including a Fire Quantum 6 months ago) and each time they met or exceeded my pin/top request.  I always specify a 3+" Pin and only one time did they include a note stating that the best they could do was a 2-3" Pin Fire Quantum which was fine.  Excellent people to deal with.

Thanks, guys. But Freakzilla is partially right, as are you.

Sometimes the Fire Quantum goes for less than $100, sometimes for much more.
Bowlingball.com are nice people; I have bought from them several times, including this Fire Quantum. They, like every other trustworthy Ebay seller,
DO this best to give you what you ask for. They are very good that way,
BUT
realize that this is an auction; you bought a ball, without regard to
your requested specs. They make every effort to meet that request but they
are under no obligation do so. They try to get as close as possible.
If they do not, who are you to complain when you bought a good ball for
probably less than half what you should have paid for it.
WAIT A SECOND, I have been in that boat also.

Everyone wants something for nothing. Well, we all want a great deal.
However we have to accept the roll of the dice and THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT
EBAY IS, a great crap shoot.

I have a great ball with great specs. I will hold off selling it for a while longer. Probably the least I will accept, at some future time, is $85 PLUS SHIPPING within the 48 states. I paid a lot more than that for it.

Thank you all.

That is a great price for that ball!! If I had not just bought
a Blue Berry from Drill Wizard last night I would snatch that up!
I bought my wife one last year and I have been wanting one for me every since.

Later,
Ty

bigmouth, you need to keep your mouth shut, it will obviously get you into some trouble (if it hasn't already).  All I did was make charlest an offer and respond to comments directed towards me.  Oh yeah, and another thing...who are you to tell me I am bugging charlest?  I think he is old enough to speak for himself.  Or maybe you just want to wipe his nose after he sneezes...

charlest, that makes sense.  I wouldn't want to lose money on an undrilled ball either.  Good luck on re-couping your investment...

GUys,

Please calm down. Life's too short and there are many more important things
to get upset over. I'd relate some but I don't want to around like more of a complainer. Bowl well and keep an eye out for those bargains.
