Have you checked out his other items for sale? He has several other balls including a green carbide bomb. He may be legit & just decided to start selling on e-bay. You never know!

He has these ball listed as 15lb balls but the green bomb is 15lb 11oz and the pro purple is 15lb 10 oz or am I reading this wrong?

anothing thing that could be viewed as a little suspicious...no paypal? usually not a big deal, but with zero feedback, not returning emails, AND this...at least usually if you get schammed through paypal you can get your money back...don't know, not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt personally.

The weight listings are 15.1 & 15.11, & do not reflect 15lb 10 or 11 oz. If they were 15 3/4 lbs, they should be listed that way or perhaps 15.75

Those balls were released before Brunswick/Lane#1 started labeling their gross weights as "15lb 2oz."  So 15.10lb = approx 15lb 1.6oz

Maybe so, but it's not worth the risk IMO.  Look at what happened to a bunch of folks on here just a few months ago with that JeffSeniorPBA character.

If anyone knows the guy that purchased the teal, maybe they could find out how that transaction is going.

there's something rotten in Denmark. the auction was ended early because,
"The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale."

royal load of bs!

wouldn't trust this seller as far as i could throw him!

Here's the reply after I asked for non-ionternet pics from the seller to prove that he/she really have the balls:

" Sorry, I ended the auction for both items...I traded both balls for 3 Godlen Nuggets, 2 Black Cherry Bombs and 1 Super Carbide Bomb. Thanks for looking though!!! "

. . .scared him away, i guess.

Would you do us all a favor & let us know if/when delivery is made? That way if he puts more items up for bids, we'll know if we can trust him or not. Thanks!

Ouch, does that mean the winning bidder of the Teal lost close to $400?
