Title: New Shoes
Post by: Rocket_Robin on November 22, 2004, 12:19:09 AM

I have just asked a local pro shop in the UK for a pair of the new Etonic Flame bowling shoes, he quoted me £105 (sterling) that equates to $190 (us) and you guys think the prices you pay are expensive.  A new Roto Grip RS1 is up at £200. Thats $362 dollars.

If all other balls fail, try a ROTO.

Why don't you buy here and ship there.  I sold lane#1 ball to a guy in malaysia and he paid $275.00 US for it which included 3to5 day shipping with slower shipping it would be even cheaper.  I know several people here don't mind shipping overseas as long as exact shipping is paid.  Naturally the same can be done with shoes.

I should just quit bowling, oh wait I already tried that.
Now that I am back and my Saws are sharp again, I am ready to cut some wood.

I would try buddiesproshop.com they have the best prices and they offer overseas shipping as far as I know.  You can check ebay if you ever use it I know they have shoes just check the lisitng to see if they ship overseas.

The RS-1 would be under $200.00 if you buy here and ship there.  Again I am comparing my experience to shipping to Malaysia I just shiped the ball and he received it I don't guess the UK prohibits this in any way.
