More than than, but about the same price as the Temper

There are so few, I dont know if there's a "going rate"

Buddies, usually a low price seller, is (or was) selling their last 16 lb one for $189 delivered. That's quite high for a ball with not much reputation.

If I felt like trying one, I'd pay no more than $60 - 80 delivered and I'm usually on the generous side with my estimates.

I recently purchased one for 125.00 including shipping and I could not be happier with the results.  I was making the move away from skid/flip to more even equipment and this hit the spot perfectly.  I have been bowling for 20 plus years and have been able to average in the 190's consistently, but have never been able to shoot that elusive 700.  The 4th week with the Phoenix, I shot my first 700.  It keeps the pins low and is really clean through the heads.  It does not hard as alot of my other balls, it just gets the job done.  If you can get one at the right price, it is worth it.

I paid 200$ for mine a while ago.  Didn't really sweat it much since that's the only one I paid actual retail on.

The Phoenix for me has been worth every cent since I've gotten it so I'm happy.

There was one on eBay for $150 BIN free shipping, so that's why I was asking if that was a decent price or not.

You could buy a Temper and basically get the same ball. Probably more peformance out of the Temper at a lower price point.

Good point, I passed on it, but if anyone wants it, it has like 40 minutes left, 16 lbs, decent specs...
