Best place to get 2nd quality balls?

Ebay? Any other website? And is it worth the risk, if any?

On Ebay there is a bowling store called R And D Bowling....the have and sell factory 2nds and blems but also 1st quality balls from various manufactures. In Every one of there ebay bowling ball listings they very clearly state the exact weight of the ball the top weight and pin placement and also the exact cg placement and mention weather it is a 1st 2nd blem or whatever.

Symmetrics are almost cant miss because it is usually a cosmetic flaw. Asymmetrics you have the possibility of the pin/cg/mb being out of line enough that it may favor a right handed bowler or left handed bowler much more and you never know which it may be.

Ebay they usually have the info posted so you know in advance.

I have ordered numerous 2nds  from R and D bowling on ebay. They are very discriptive on every ball they sell. Never a problem with any ball ordered from there and mostly cant even tell they are 2nds.

Thank y'all! Checking R and D right now... Want to buy 1 or 2 seconds so I can play with them, driling different layouts, adjusting surfaces without paying a lot of money.

+1. He is always accurate on the description and never had any problems with his 2nds (usually cosmetic).
