Title: Sellers...Traders....Do EVERYONE a favor pls....
Post by: D McLaughlin on March 08, 2004, 03:33:10 PM
Know for certain the weight of the dam* ball BEFORE you ship it out!  Nothing more annoying than getting a 16# ball when it was supposed to be 15#.  I have been guilty of it too...so dont think I am looking down on anyone....just have the courtesy, as I will from now on, to have the ball weighed at a PROSHOP....not on the scales in your bathroom.  Thx for listening to me gripe.

Thank You!  I always list the gross weight before the ball was drilled.  None of that "Heavy 15(seems to be code for a 16lb ball on the boards)" or that "light 15(code for 14lbs)" that most people use.  I just traded two 16lb balls that I stated were 16lb balls in trades where I was supposed to recieve 15lb balls.  But when I weighed them out I have a 15lb 10oz and a 15lb 12oz ball which were obvious 16lb balls before they were drilled.  A little truth doesn't hurt anyone people.  Please be honest.

Yep, I too have been stung.  I even have plugged and redrilled one before figuring it out.  Kind of ruins your bowling attitude when it happens.  I have traded for #15's and recived #14 and #16.  I do still have a couple of 15 1/2s, but if I trade them I would tell someone first.
