Did anyone else buy the latest XR release yet?

I bought one last night, no idea what it is, but I paid $139.99 for it. LOL


And it shipped out today.

Hype driven marketing, plenty of great equipment out there that doesn't come at a premium price.  Plus I'm not one to play the, "I have one and you don't", game.

+1. I don't get it, but maybe I'm not meant to. (I get buying them and flipping for instant profit...I dig capitalism....it's the people paying a premium for one I don't get)

Paraphrasing P.T. Barnum,
"No one ever went broke underestimating the gullibility of the American public."
Barnum is widely, but erroneously, credited with coining the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute".

Just reordered my two. Judging by the price the ball will be an asymmetric core. My guess

After looking at the USBC approved list, its the Vibe (green with) Envy XR.

No need waiting. They shipped and im not keeping either. I did the bin route last time at this price and both sold quickly. Most went for $300 or more plus shipping.

I would have, but didn't know what to list it as. LOL

Yea, that seems to be all the description needed. I laugh at these guys who don't buy in right away. These balls have been a great way to double your money.

Same here, I almost passed on the first one, but thought, "What the hell" and grabbed them.

The Fear wasn't that great, but still profitable. I can always make money on Vibes of course. Even the Grape Vibe is bringing a high price now.

I will continue to buy the XR releases, until it proves not to be worth it anymore.

True. The Fear was just an overseas release so no individual number or anything else unique. It didnt help that they released another Widow for the US market.

My Darkness and Network for $99 a piece were TOTALLY worth it! :)

Yea, I'm kicking myself for not buying the Network.

But seeing how far the price of the Protocol has dropped, I will get a Network for around $100, I just have to wait for it. :-)
