If wasn't for non bowlers who collect gems (people are weirdos who will collect anything) probably be a lot less NIB or even single drilled balls on ebay. I know a lot of my Faball stuff came from non bowlers (one guy admitted as much and showed me pics of a NIB pink hammer and Purple Sumo and some others I forget he was never going to sell (won't live forever though) as he decorated his man cave with gems). Still yeah paying the middle man sucks.
Yea, some people have more money than brains, and will jump in and collect anything, IF they think someone else might want it. They get a kick out of owning something they know you want and can’t get. It gives them power.
Coincidentally, I still have a “leftover†in the closet.
A NIB, 14lb, 1993 CRUSH/R. In the original box.
Little more than a conversation piece anymore.
Never intended to “collect†it, just bought it years ago when I had a wrist injury and dropped down to 14’s for a while, but never got around to drilling it.
Still in the closet, still in the box, just waiting. Probably never drill it, as I’ve gone back up to 15’s now.
