I thought it would be a fun ball to throw during cosmic/twilight bowling but 76 bucks? I was just wonderin what you guys thought one of these are worth.

If the pin-CG was good and the drilling wasn't too far off, then yes.
I can't see the drilling or the track from the pictures.
Otherwise, no.
But then I have an undrilled Slate Blue just dying to be drilled ....

This ball fetches over 200 NIB still, i lost a bid a few years ago with a 220.00 cap.

I think I must have gotten lucky I bought one for 100 including shipping

Probably i do not watch ebay like i used too, i just liked the colors and bid too much anyway.

That's a 16 lb one. The 15 lb one I'm saving for when I get old and decrepit. Well, more decrepit than I am now. 
FYI The one time I had a GLowing AMulet I shot 675 with it. Then I learned it was only a 14 lb ball. After that I couldn't use it any more. My brain wouldn't let me. I sold it and the guy used it as a spare ball.

Had a 16lb one...doubles nicely as a drier lane ball and 10 pin shooter.
It draws attention from all angles of the bowling alley...some bad some good...
Wish mine never got stolen.

Darn, I bought mine from Visionary for like $75 shipping included! The great thing about this ball is it glows without an outside source, place it under a light and it glows! Bruce

Yeah, but how many decades ago???
I've been using Buddies for the last 5 years or so I don't even remember seeing it back then.

I'd put in a bid Scott but I already got one
.
In good condition I would look for offers at least higher than 60 plus actual shipping.
The ball kind of makes me think of the Pink Hammer, I got one plus a back up
.
The glowing amulet or some like to call it the experiment that went terribly wrong and of course there are many other sayings certainly makes me think about Faballs Gum Ball.
Overall I'd say the ball works wonderfull off lighter volumes of oil. I went to a tournement once and I was striking like crazy with it and people were asking me is that a house ball-they could not believe it was a hard urethane company ball. I guess it does kind of look like a polyester and I think some mistake it for that.
My local house does not offer cosmic bowling or black light bowling so unfortunatly I can't see it head down the lane under that condition
Certainly a very fun and neat ball to have

I Looked for a Blue Slate for months.. Then walked into two of them.
I drilled one up and the other is waiting if i need it..
Perfect Dry lane / 10 pin ball...
shot a 268 300 278 withit in practice on a dry condition..
Makes a very powerfull move to the pocket and does not over react..
it is actualy something to get used to after using recatives for so long.
Makes me miss my old Hammers..

I win I win. I bid on it before I left last night expecting to be beaten, if it had gone up $3 I would have lost. I have an Ebay addiction, plus a love of ugly bowling balls. This should be fun for my cosmic league, which is generally dry as hell. This puts me at 8 VBP balls.

Congratulations!

I like them ugly too
