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 lowered it to $35 a spot.

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.!
--------------------
Righty
Think about it!
-
Thanks for the info .. I'm NOT LOOKING TO BUY A GOLF CLUB .. and if you agree that the ball is worth it .. get in the REAL WORLD and take a chance .. in fact you have a REAL BARGAIN .. the price is reduced to $35 .. go get it .. good luck!

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.

Wrong on the SD part- I just recently did exactly what you said (3"pin SD) and while I did get significant value, it wasn't $400. I took a TON of offers on it, and accepted the best of the best.
And if it didn't go for $400 on this site, it sure as hell wouldn't go for that anywhere else. Just wanted to let you know my experience with the exact example you mentioned.
All that being said, I do think that everyone who wants to fill this thread with a bunch of negative crap about this raffle should piss off... either buy a spot or ignore the post, period.
The number of cheapskates that seem to do nothing but scan this site on "price-patrol" is incredibly annoying sometimes. There are a few in particular that are as predictable as clockwork in replying to posts if they think the price is too high. It is hilarious to me how some people seem to think it is their DUTY to take people out at the knees if they happen to try to get maximum value for something they are selling. To all of you, and you know who you are, don't you have something better to do?
