Curious...Original BW Solid - NIB
« on: May 19, 2011, 12:36:01 AM »
How much is it worth?  I found one at a local shop.  3" PIN.  
 
I paid 150.00 - did I get a deal?? 
 
Thanks

Depends, you may find a ball collector or someone really nuts about it that would give you more than that but its still just a bowling ball. I think the last NIB one went for about 185 on ebay so you could flip it for a little bit.

Didn't really get a deal, but you didn't get screwed either. Those original BW's are a very popular ball, and will most likely only become more valuable with time.

you didnt get screwed. but trying to sell it on here you probably wont get a lot. i have 2 of them and the best offer i got was 175 shipped. i paid 175 for mine so i couldnt sell them for that if im trying to make some extra cash.

 

to me, if someone wants them bad enough they will pay 200 or more, if not...they look great sitting in my room knowing that i can drill them whenever i want too. i love my widow solid that i still use and to have 2 chilling ready to drill is a nice feeling.

If your not going to drill them, than sit on them for a few years and see what happens.    Really at $175 I wouldn't drill it.   You can always get close to that $175 back or more when it is un-drilled.

thanks guys...I talked to a former Hammer staffer and he said he combined a BW with a drilled Anger and got nearly 300 out of them on eBay...
 
I thought it would be worth more...Oh, well.   Just have to find the right HAMMERHEAD I guess...or add it to my arsenal!  :-)
