All those bucks just to be able to brag about being the first in your center to own one.

It would be hilarious if he wehnt to the shop to get it drilled and someone in his league was picking one up that had just been drilled.

Maybe I'm the idiot for selling mine for under $150 shipped.  Eh.....I'm not greedy, but that is one hell of a ball.  If you have that $$ to waste to have a ball 2 weeks early, then I'd love to be in that position someday.

Is that a new way the bidding is being posted.  Or is this kinda fishy?

There was a Roto Grip Cell introduction seminar that gave the attendees a Cell and Gravity Shift if they attended.

I attended the one in Akron,OH that Ace Mitchell put on and received both balls. Storm sneak previewed the Gravity and the Rapid Fire on the lanes that day along with the Cell and Pluto from Roto Grip.

Thes ones for sale on E-Bay are either pre order or folks who are selling theres without drilling them up to try them out.

I like Storm stuff too much to sell it, so I drilled mine up to give it a test run before I order some thru the PBA offer.

Very suspicious bidding.  Everyone has *** (3***y, e***c, r***u and k***o) in the middle of their ID name.  And the strange thing is, when you try to search on any of those users, they can't be found.  My guess is that the *** confuses the search engine, so he has some user ID's that can't be traced. ... Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

Thanks, I didn't know that.  I guess I have been away from Ebay for a while ... which is probably a good thing.

Based on this current auction, it depends.  Does your hand come with a free t-shirt too?

Yeah, you could but only if it has the shirt...otherwise no one will bid.
