Steal of a deal
« on: January 11, 2017, 08:33:20 PM »
What is a ball you picked up that was just too good of a deal to let pass? Ball name, price, and did it end up working well for you?

$100 for low games Phase and it has been a great ball for me after a slow start to the season.

$100 for a used Phaze?  :o

I think you must be on the wrong thread. That was a steal for whoever sold it...

about 8 or 9 years ago, I got a C300 Jazz NIB drilled/shipped $55, used it for 5 years in leagues. Many first time accomplishments, honors, cash, and personal best came with this ball. I could of kept using it, but I changed ball weight. I believe this ball was produced before the EBI take over.....

Currently NIB Rave around $70 shipped and drilled. Big banger, eyebrow raiser ball that's got me thinking of more Radicals to come...

Does a round object have sides? I say yes, pizza has triangles..

aka addik since 2003

$60 delivered for a nib Dynothane Energy.  I got it about 8 years ago and it's been my go-to ball ever since.  --  JohnP

 Years ago, I let go of my Pink Hammer. Always said if I ever found another one at a reasonable price, I would grab it.

 I never found one.  But my son did.

 He came in one day and asked me "Dad, weren't you looking for a Pink bowling ball"?  I said I had, but had not ever found one. He then produced a 15lb Pink Hammer he had bought at a "junk" sale he and a friend had gone to.

 When I asked him how much he paid, he said "$.50".  That's right, fifty cents.

 He said they had originally asked hin for a dollar, and he talked them down!

 I still have it. 😊

You and me both. I don't want to drill my last NIB.

best deal I had was $90 for a NIB Special Agent.  just a few months after it was released

A friend and his wife bowled a league that included a new ball; any new ball, your choice.  well, she blew up her knee playing soccer; so I paid off her remaining league and got the ball.

This thread is dangerous for my wallet. Makes me want to get out there and start buying every good deal I find... again.
