i purchased it from the local proshop guy that i've been going to for over the past 10+ years. Over the years combined thru my purchasing and my referal to friends, we've bought in access of 20+ balls from the guy.
i've always wondered if the is giving me a break on price, or even a good price. so this is the so called "deal" that he gave me $180 out the door (tax, drill, finger grip, thumb plug, and X-hole)
so i ask the question, is this a good price, bad price?
if i may, for people that have this ball, what did you get it for, just for comparison reasons.
thanks in advance and your time
all responses are greatly appreaciated =)

so yeah i could see saving more or less $15
Djarum so i take it that you didn't buy it?
a few weeks earlier i got a Delta 1 from him i think for $200 i think
i dunno i'm just starting to think that he's charging too much, but then again i don't really have a frame of reference so that's why i'm here, to find answers. =)
thanks for your replys more info please

Drilled with Thumb Sleeve, finger grips, and tax.
sadly he's out of business....Why?
He didn't charge enough. He was a great driller.
I always tried to give him an extra $20...he never would take it.
Appreciate your drillers...
when the great ones are gone, what are you going to?

$155.00 out the door. After asking around on here I didn't get it because it was too similar to my absolute inferno. Alot of times deals on the computer and ebay sound really good but by the time you include shipping and making sure you get the specs you want the best deal for me is still from my proshop.

I didn't buy it because I did not think the ball would have been right for my game. 180 isn't bad considering. A few of the posts mentioned online for 100, but buddies has it for 115, and he's usually on spot with price. It would have been around 180 by the time I shipped it and had it drilled by my pro-shop.
One thing is my pro-shop is not a track affiliated shop, with whatever those agreements might be. He could get it from his distributer, but at a higher price. He has pretty reasonable prices on storm, columbia, hammer, and ebonite.
