buddiesproshop.com has a lot of closeout stuff and usually at great prices, they have stingers and stuff for 50.00 and also shooters, these are some of the better deals I have noticed.  They have alot to choose from though.

Ebay!!

Recent aquisitions from ebay:

Apex Obsession $45
TPC Player $50
"Snuffy" Optix $21.00
Fuze Eliminator $39.00

All balls were new and undrilled. Plenty of recently discontinued balls posted there daily.

cooksey--Even though you didn't match up to well with my ole Granite.  You can check out Visionary's website and look at their discontinued stuff.  The recently put the Charcoal Ex., Crimson Ex., Blue Gryphon & Burgandy Gryphon.  Give 'em a call and see what they got.

Take a peek at http://www.bowlersbargains.com (yes, another site I built )

He has the Dyno-thane American Eagle and Storm Football for $20 ($30 shipped) right now.  Look at the Special Offers for his best deals.  Lots of his stuff are middle weights and heavy weights (i.e. 15 lbs 10 oz).

Tell him Tony sent ya!

1fife, 2 Fuze Eliminators were both 2-3 inch pins, The Snuffy ball didn't matter as it's a spare ball. I just bought the Apex and TPC but I'm not too worried about pin placement being really bad. My worst pin placements have been from buying direct from the ball companies using the PBA offers. The worst pin placement I can remember was a particle Vendetta with almost a 5 inch pin. My guy at Chicago's Bowling Store set it up the best he could and it turned out to be a lane recker, made some serious money with the ball.
