I can change any surface, I have a home spinner. As for buying a ball, and not getting around to plug and drill, what can I say, sometimes you get a good deal, and just get lazy. Plus, I bowl once a week, and try to practice once, so, a week or two go by, you get lazy, and sell it.
NoseofRI, if you click on Crusty's profile, he has a 13 ball arsenal. Why does he need all those balls when you can just change your hand position or surface?

Sometimes you buy or trade for balls with very low games, and never get around to plugging, or sometimes a ball gives you the same reaction as others, so you realize keeping it isn't going to do anything, so you also put it back up for sale?? It's happened to me, so who knows?

I could be wrong here but it sounds like you just proved Crusty's point perfectly. Not getting around to fixing up a ball you just bought? Wasn't there a specific reason you bought that ball? Guess not, so basically you buy a ball just to buy it, no consideration of how similar said ball is to something you already have. And despite supposedly being able to see that the reaction is "similar" to something else, a slight surface change on most bowling balls will fix this, even if its so much as hand scuffing with a 2000 abralon pad.
I know myself when I consider buying a used ball, its a specific ball with a close layout to what I'm looking for, and as soon as I receive it, I'm going to get it fixed so I can use it.
