A 17lb ball?
« on: June 06, 2004, 11:05:47 AM »
Only on ebay can I get laughs like this. There is a ball up for auction that is being advertised as a 17lb Ace ball from the 60's that sold for $150 way back then. The item number is 3681829053.

I love how it says "used but in mint condition".  That guy is out of his mind!

I have an AMF Grey Angle from the 80s.  It's been plugged once in the thumb and redrilled, and get this.  Gross weight after drilling is 16lb 4 oz.  OUCH!

Yeah, but if I remember right, a user on here had a method to sand a pound off these babies!
