If he had it a reasonable price I would by it because of the pin placement, it would be a perfect ball to do a trick layout with. Being a 2ND is not that big of a deal, most of the wins last year for TJ came with a X-out One.

Thats a wee bit rediculas, O and I know where a guy is hording like 5 more Phoenix's so no worries there is still $5000 for somebody to spend out there on Track balls.  HA!

The rediculas part... You can get the same reactions out of balls that are MSRP of 160..  So yeah... do what you want I guess.  Even better is that by bowl expo, the Phoenix will be cleverly clad under the Global 300 lable and nobody will pay attention to it.

Granted the price is ubsurd but the ball could very easily be drilled and not have the CG be in all that unusual of a place.
Example:
5.5 x 3 pin up 3.75 this would place the pin over my middle finger and with the MB at 3" from PAP the CG would be within 1/4" of the midline, you would need a large balance hole to remove the side weight but that is a benefit IMHO.
The reason being punch it up go throw it for a few games and see how it reacts then decide where you want to place the hole. With the CG that close to the midline you would have a decent range to place it to get the desired result.

The price is high, but then again alot of times you lose money selling on ebay. I have a first quality 15lb strike machine in my bag and if I had to go down to one ball it would be the one. Very versatile, hits hard and carries well.

Several years back, I sold a couple balls a while back for my local pro on eBay.  His thoughts were that since the balls "retailed" for $268 in his shop, that they should easily bring $125-$150 on eBay.  My thoughts were that since they were used, he's be luck to get $50 for them.  When all was said and done, I sold 9 high-end balls and the "average" selling price for each one was $55.

The moral of this story is that everyone has a "perceived" value.  However, eBay runs by determination of the market value.  If you can get the two to overlap, you are in business.. if not, no sale.

With that being said, I'm surprised the Strike Machine has been bid up to $153.  Its a pretty good looking ball, and may be rare, but its still a 2nd.  In general, there isn't too much on eBay that breaks the $150 barrier.

Good luck selling these.  Who knows, maybe you will find the special person!

The reason why there are so many who are watching this is to see what sucker buys this ball.  I don't care if it's a first quality ball.  This ball in no way shape or form is worth no more than 110.00 NIB not a 2nd.
