The original Burst should bring around $100-$120 for a 15# NIB.

That's it? Really? I was thinking that maybe because they have become pretty scarce, that it might be worth a little more than retail.

Yea, it just wasn't that popular when it was new. If it was an Outburst, that would be a different story, probably $175 to $200 on ebay, but not the original Burst.

I doubt it would even sell for $120 if listed with free shipping on ebay.

Scarce/rare doesn't always mean valuable.  ;D

very true..... i mean you could hold onto it for another year or two and it might be worth more by then..   but unless someone is willing to drop 200$ on a ball or w/e.. the ball is only worth the going rate of similar balls..

like, i snagged a NIB theory off ebay a few weeks ago for 135$ on a buy it now... and i am more than happy with the ball.. yet you see a couple other listings for them at like 300 to 375$

I think once the resurgence core is out of the line up, the burst will snag a pretty penny!  The problem is that core exists, that reaction exists..In the eruption line..give it time

yep. I'd definitely buy it for $120.00 today. I'm sure you can get more, it just depends on how long you want to wait.

Thanks guys. I like the comment about the Resurgence core though. That's a good point. I think I might just hang on to it for a while. However, someone just offered me an Eruption Pro Black for it and i'm really thinking I should accept that offer!

Wow, I stand corrected! I have seen these go for some pretty low prices.

It's always tough figuring out what bowlers will spend money on. LOL
