Another crazy Ebay auction
« on: July 27, 2006, 11:59:12 AM »
OK, we all know that bowlingball.com is one of the biggest sellers on Ebay.  Of course, let's not go over how much they charge for shipping.  Take a look at this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/EBONITE-CLEAR-SKULL-BALL-Bowling-Ball-16-LB-NIB_W0QQitemZ130009664363QQihZ003QQcategoryZ20848QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I know the skull balls are rare and considered a colectors item, but $499?  Anyone who pays that much for one of those deserves to get ripped off....

Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

MY INFERNOS WILL SMOKE YOU!!!

Since I only throw Infernos, just call me the Flamethrower.

Yeah, I'm the smart one that kept the skull ball and drilled up the eyeball, lol.  I figured, at the time I bought them, that they were going to be equally rare, then ebonite goes and makes another batch of skull balls, therefore lowering the value under to what the ebonite eyeball is.  The eyeball did serve me well though.  The poor thing, the fingers are cracked so bad.  I think I might eventually get it repaired though.

Then the nerve of this s.o.b. wanting 25 bucks for additional shipping? What a joke.

If I knew how to make these balls I'd sell them on eBay for myself. But good luck with this auction cause no one is that stupid. And how idiotic to put a suggested retail price that low below what he's asking for it!

I need to make clearballs with real preserved human heart in it. I'd say that could go for 700 bucks!lol

I had one when they first came out.. the thing cracked out so bad around the fingers, I just threw it in the dumpster...  LOL  Guess I should have kept it, clear plugged it, and listed it on ebay for $250...
