Someone trade me 6 months ago a Rogue Cell for a Cell Pearl
« on: September 22, 2009, 01:55:36 PM »
I don't recall who it was...but thanks.  For the second time in a row I've traded for a ball straight up and it was a pound heavier than advertised.  I now have a Rogue Cell that has been plugged that I can't throw in return I gave up a Cell Pearl that was a single drill with about 5 games on it.

I don't hold on to my pms...in hindsight that wasn't a good idea.  I was burned by Oskuposer in my last trade when I sent him a 15lb Agent and he sent me a 16lb Black Widow.

Live and learn I guess.....I just want whoever sent me the ball to know.

You obviously didn't learn the first time.

I didn't drill it until two weeks ago...and I've thrown it all of 2 games.  I was only bowling one league and no tourneys over the summer so I didn't need it.

That does suck.  Closest thing that I've had like that was ordering a 15lb NIB and getting a 16lb instead!  Invoice even said 16, so somebody must have fat fingers on that one!

Unless you are plugging it yourself, I guess the best thing to do is have the shop check it before they do any work.

Of course, when somebody tells you that a ball is 15, you expect it to be 15!

I sold a nib ball on Ebay and I asked my driller to weigh it before I shipped to make sure I was sending the correct weight.  It certainly was heavier than what I use but I had to made sure it was as advertised.

When you say 'Heavier than advertised' I'm curious as to what the original post said.  Since you posted the ball is 15lb 8oz after drilling we can assume it was close to 15lb 11oz pre-drilled, correct?  If the ball was advertised as a 15lb ball, technically the seller was correct.  I don't know how the majority feels about the subject, or where the 'cut-off' is for 15/16lb measurements, but I was under the impression, anything less than 16oz, has to be considered a 15lb ball, even if it's a 15lb 15oz New in box.  Now unless the seller had the pro-shop weigh the ball before selling it to you, he probably never knew.  He bought it rightfully labeled as a 15lb ball, and sold it under that same knowledge.

So while i understand that you are disappointed the ball is a bit heavier than you wanted, I don't think the seller/trader was in the wrong.

Do any pro-shop guys know the technicality on ball weights when they run in the 'middle' like this?

Didn't you keep the box it was shipped to you in, pms back & forth, the name & address you shipped your ball too?  Any records/receipts at all w/the info?  Did you post feed back on here in that forum stating you got whatever ball it was from whatever user you traded said ball with?

Yes...I ran a shop for years....it's a blem.  Mid weights are not sold to pro shops unless requested.  15 pound balls range from 15lbs 0oz to 15lbs 5ozs pre drill.  Anything over 15lbs 15ozs would be a 16.  This ball is a mid-weight...not the same.
