The Worst Weekly eBay Bowling Auction

Check this one out:

Are they absolutely crazy?  If I were to pay that much, I would at least want the plug material to match the rest of the ball...  HAHA

People never cease to amaze me!

and it's used.  Sorry, any plugged ball is not "pristine,like store bought new condition"

That is true..  at that price, you would only need to sell one.  I think that for much less than $1000, you could call Brunswick up... send them a photo, and get your own Viz-a-Ball made...  Now that would be a little narcissistic
