What is a NIB 15lb Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle worth?
« on: April 18, 2011, 10:12:56 AM »

Just curious as to what it's worth? Just wanting to get an idea?

I actually have 2 Brand New 15lb Slate Blue Gargoyle's. Both are BLEM's but I don't see anything about them that makes them BLEM's... they are both very pretty. The guy that I bought one of the balls from said his was a Color Blem because there was more of a Glitter effect in the color but to me that makes it really pretty if he was accurate. Check out my links below.

 

1st one with 15.05 Gross Weight, 2-5/8" PIN, 3.06 TOP

2nd one with 15.05 Gross Weight, 2-3/4" PIN, 3.21 TOP

 

I really hate to part with each one but I feel it's time. There both beautiful but I need to let them go I guess.

Just wondering what they would bring. I am in North Carolina by the way.

 





 

Thanks!

Sort of going to answer this one like the last one with the Centaurs. While a great piece, it is a niche ball. Further, witht he advent of almost every company having a urethane ball today, including Visionary, and two pearl urethanes on the market currently (Natural Pearl and Avalanche Pearl) and both go for around $90 shipped, I don't see you getting much more than that. Slap a price on em and see what happens.

While as 3835 says, these are niche balls, my Slate Blue was so strong and early, I couldn't use it as a dry lanes ball, nor even as a light oil ball. It was earlier and stronger overall than my Avalanche Urethane Pearl which is very suitable as a dry lane and light oil ball.
 
Meanwhile, if you find the right Visionary aficionado who knows what this ball offers, I think it is still worth a decent amount, minimum $95 - $100, maybe more. With the right drilling and on the right surface, the ball hit more like a resin ball.
