ball is only worth what someone will pay for it, 40 a spot is 400 bucks, the ball is in the 200-250 range, sorry

It is a $200-$250 range Saw and yes i have 2 and loved them. Best ball Lane 1 made to me but I still don't think it's in the $400 range.

Reality needs to set in at some point, These lane 1 balls nib are worth $200.00-$300.00 tops, I won't spend over that for any ball.

As much as I love bowling .. the prices you guys are suggesting are way over what I'd pay for a bowling ball! I can only see bowling disappearing if bowlers start talking to prices this high being acceptable!

well i've seen people offer 300-350 for an NIB army green


then this person should have sold it, 300 is 30 a spot, we jsut did a raffle on BBE for a nib megatons, 10 a spot, 30 spots, 300 bucks, I just dont like the fact people think that this is the norm, it is far from it.  Price accordingly, here is a ball someone wants to sell that they probalby got for 150, sorry the value has not gone up that much.  those 300-350 buyers are hard to find, and at 40 a spot those are probably harder to find.  especially when single drilled ones can be had for under 60 bucks

If he can get it more power to him, but this Saw boy will not pay that much for a spot at a chance to win a ball

mind you I am not knocking the person for trying to get what he feels the ball is worth, I am just stating my opinion on this whole over priced ball market crap

Well Joe than you don't live in the real world anymore because you can't buy a decent golf club for under $150.00 and that's for one.    Bowling needs to get there prices in line with the other sports.   Pro shops are not making enough money and the bowling manufactures are working in the red.

I see nothing wrong with the price of the raffle, especially at $35 a spot. A ball that is not made anymore & sought after is more valuable than a newly made ball that is readily available. Besides, If you win, it is costing you only $35, not $350.!

guys, give chris a break, he paid 300+ for the ball in the first place he cant lower it much more  


Then he got took. Guess they seen him coming. NO ball regardless of brand is worth $300, discontinued or not. Now if a person wants to pay that much, that is his business and money, but the ball is still not worth that much and as soon as the holes are drilled into it and the first time it gets a chip or two, it is worth way-way less than that.
