Again, this is a ball that depends on how much you liked it.
New, with good specs, it can go for $100 or $150.
It was also a beautiful looking ball. It had the Yeah Baby-type core and fairly strong coverstock. For me it acted almost like a particle pearl, even though it was a pure pearl reactive.

SInce my ball speed is on the slower side  of average (Qubica: 13 - 13.8 at the backend on dryish lanes), I had to drill it really weak to use it on medium oil. I had to use a 5.5" pin to PAP, pin above the center of the bridge and even then I had to find true medium oil to use it. If you have firmer ball speed, you can drill it stronger. It had a highish RG ( 2.55+) and better than average flare, with that deep coverstock ( no filler). 
 
If you have more ball speed in proportion to your rev rate, you can, of course, use it on much lighter oil. Everything in proportion!!

 You know Charlest me and you could be twins my ball speed is also slower around 15mph on a good night and I was kind of leaning toward the pin in the middle of my bridge. I have a few balls drilled like that and I like them all. Once again Charlest as always you have been helpful and I can now drill the ball with confidence. I threw my friends Masterpiece and fell in love with the ball. Well finally I have one it should arrive tomorrow afternoon. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks again Armswing Out
