Get a Quantum Double Helix For Cheap Here!
« on: February 26, 2006, 07:17:12 AM »
an ebay zero feedback person that is "verified" with the verisign check mark.
and sent me 3 "actual" real photos through email?.

just looking for opinions before i go ahead and buy it.

price seems too good to be true (it usually is right?), hes selling 30 quantum double helixes for $50 plus shipping each, new and undrilled.

Nope. Put them on your "my ebay" favorite sellers list, and watch them for a while.. If they seem above board, go for it. Otherwise, forget it...

Pics can be copied.

So how exactly is the guy supposed to get feedback if no one will buy from him till he gets feedback?  If you're gonna buy stuff from a faceless internet source, you run the risk, regardless of how "great" someone's feedback is.  The only way to be risk free is if you can put your hands on the merchandise

The auction says he has 30 of them. Not 50

well, it's not totally unbelieveable. I bought a helix from a shop in the same area as this one 5 yrs ago for $60!!! It was NIB, and they had about 40 available!!

Here is all his listings. click on some of them and look at how many of everything he claims to have! Some balls he claims to have 80 and 90 of and most others he has 40 and 50 of each. Seems strange to me.

That's normal.  The helixes were special in that they had a strip of cover that was a different material than the rest.  You had to line that up with the oil track of your ball.  So it had to be facing a certain direction, making them right and left handed.  It was ambitious by brunswick but obviously didn't go over huge.

i emailed one of the buy it now people that bit on this listing and this is what i got..

"Well he didn't give me any info really that influenced me. He was just really honest and fairly quick with his responses to any questions I had. He also worked with me on the shipping terms. I didn't want it sent Parcel Post, because I just had an issue with that, It took me 1 month to receive a bowling ball from another seller who used Parcel Post. I just didn't get any negative feelings about it. His honesty was the number one thing. He sent you pictures of the helixes? Interesting Would happen to still have them I'd love to see them. I have this ball already and its my baby, I absolutely love it,and Who could really beat 50 bucks? Ya Know. Get back to me on the photos."

Thanks for the question also. Have a nice weekend

i have one question to ask...

DEAL.... or NO DEAL?
