what do you do with gear you are getting rid of?
« on: February 24, 2011, 01:59:49 PM »
 Topic says it all. Do you toss them? Sell them? Donate them?

I donate a lady that works as a janitor in the surgery center I work in as a nephew that bowls the family doesn't have much money and he has a hard time getting new gear. I will bring a ball I am have no use for to work and let her take it to him I usually leave a sheet explaining the drill pattern does and what condition the ball will be best on. I will also have my proshop guy sell my gear cheaply to HS bowlers who need gear cheap.
