This is the wrong forum for the post, but I have a 15# NIB(original box).

$300 plus actual shipping from 95219. Yep, it's over priced, but that's what it will take to get it.

Attach pic is the actual ball

I'd love to get my hands on a NIB BW, but MILO for $300 it looks much better at your place :)

Yea, it does look pretty nice at my house. That's why I'm so fond of it.  ;D

I've seen a lot of the BW solids, but this one has more red than any other one I have seen.

Does anyone realize you can make like $500 at league in one night in brackets and sidepots...$300 is not high at all.  Bowlingball.com used to sell the 'nv' for $500...ive seen it in person...wasnt impressed...NOW THE BLACK WIDOW...thats a good one!

Thanks. I get that with several different balls I have, and that's OK everyone is entitled to their opinion. I wouldn't pay $300 for a NIB Black Widow either. But if someone else really wants one, that's what it will take to get mine.   

As I tell people locally when they want to buy a ball that I'm not really looking to sell; Everything I own is FOR sale, it's just not ON sale.  ;D ;D

Many may be smart enough to realize that at $300 it may not be worth it. If you drill the ball and like it, not love it and like many bowling balls it doesn't win you $$$$ in bracksts then what? New or old bowling balls don't make the bowler.

Any one who drills a lot of equipment realizes that. Ball junkies find out the expensive way.

Agreed kidlost! I see it more as a collectors item at this point and have no intention of drilling it myself.

But I like ball junkies, they make me money!  ;D

Oh yes. I have been there done that. Bought and sold a few gems the past few years for profit. All bowling balls I would love to have tried but they are worth more in $$$ then drilled on the lanes.

Synergy green pearl, Sapphire Zone, Senor Xcel, Double Helix ect.

The Sapphire Zone I hated to sell but it went for $320. I couldn't have drilled it and been that crazy about the ball.
