If you are talking single drill w/ low mileage, I would say $75-$100 plus shipping is pretty close.  If it is a discontinued, hard-to-find Saw, it may go for more.

A good way to get an idea is to check out eBay and see how the auctions are ending; that will give you an idea on the fair market value.

I wouldn't be surprised if you found people who would pay $125 plus shipping for it.  BTW, I am not one of them.

This time of year?

A lot less than in August, when people start thinking of bowling.
Look at how many people showed up at our get together....
Out of 20 bowlers 6 showed up!

Check your PMs.

I'm thinking of selling a pearl cobalt bomb that has about 15 games on it.  It's a single drill with the pin above the middle finger and cg close to grip center and no balance hole.  I'm not sure if i'm going to sell it at this point but was curious what Lane #1 used balls are going for.

chitown,

try ebay...usually you can get a pretty penny on ebay with lane #1 equipment new and used. Set up an account w/paypal as well (you may already have one).

I'm sure you know to take a few pictures and set a reserve around $49-$69 (or whatever you perfer) and shipping costs (mine is usually $19 per ball)

Chitown, listen to DukeHarding this isn't exactly the best time of year to unload stuff nor is it a good time to sell when new equipment is slated to appear in a few months i.e. Global 300...Black Widow Pearl and so on.
