Not sure if some of you have seen the prices of Purples since the transaction, but they are starting to climb pretty high. Saw one going for about $190. It will be interesting to see the difference (if any) between the old Purples and the new ones poured by Brunswick.

Not sure why everybody says they are going high.Bowlerx.com has them 126.95 14 15 16 lb.Same price they have always been.

Lefty tax.  Not really an issue

Supply and demand.  I immediately grabbed a 15# on Friday for old price when heard news even though already have one in light 16# only use for practice.  Don't really need but seen how that Made in USA stamp on Brunswick old stuff is a powerful psychological motivator and USA PH are already somewhat scarce with very little chance of more being ever made with that stamp.  Seems silly but people are silly (see arguing over Hy-Road batches even from same factory).  Worse case decent price for one of best urethane balls ever made (which might give to lefty son eventually).

Not true for 14# and 15#.  Click on either of these weights and it comes up "Out of Stock".  However, 16# is available at the standard price of $126.95.

If I got one it would be 16. Always the fear I get one and end up wishing I got the *other* purple ball instead (ADP).

The 16 lb one is by far the better ball imo

Definitedly especially for me not having 57 billion revs  Always relative though, if whatever I get next just isn't a good ball on the lanes I have then that's no fun.

Anyway going to ask the pso if he can get one in 16 before doing the bowlerx route

Yeah if looking to sell for maximum profit I would probably dump one before Christmas because guessing once Mexican balls hit market people won't be willing to spend so silly.  Also +1 to the 16# being amazing.  Have a light 2nd that is best of both worlds and got it NIB for like $80 off ebay.

I'm gonna hold out to see if the Black Widow Purple Pearl Urethane makes an appearance anywhere, then make the call.

But I will admit, I have seen a lot of balls on Ebay either skyrocket in price, or go very scarce...

BL.

Just noticed this bad boy.  Probably won't be easy to get a hold of though.
