I have and never will pay that much for a ball anywhere... After shipping and drilling, the high bidder will have close to $250 bucks in that ball. NO way that ball is worth that kind of dough.. I wonder if he wants to buy some land I have for sale really cheap!! LOL..

Like someone said, its all about perception of value..

Im gonna play devils advocate....i agree with both Jkeiser and mycroft..im never gonna pay that much for a ball either....I will use that money on land also. LoL! But also like Mycroft said.....if a person wants to spend his own money on a pricey ball, whether he can afford it or not its not our call.....just my .02.....Earl

That same auction started at 96.95 plus shipping for buy it now, the seller has now raised that too 139.95 as i got balls posted. Talk about idiots when you bid up something like this the seller then gets greedy by raising his prices.
