What value does your PSO put on trade in balls, particularly brand new balls.
I'm in a league now where i get two balls at the end of play. So if I get the Track Paradox Pearl and Hammer Scandal what value would a PSO give for one of them if I traded it in for say the Snap Lock.
Obviously I would be using him to drill the balls also. But the center I am playing league at is not where my PSO is.
Yes, I could call him but at this point it is a bit premature, waiting till end of season. Yes, every PSO is different. Just trying to get a feeler

I used to do this every summer, bowl in a Brunswick have a ball league and then trade the ball with my PSO for something of equal value.
I asked him what to get first

Really hard to say IF my PSO thinks he can get equal value he'll give it to me if not he may pad it a bit.

You might barter for other services if full value is not available. Drilling usually comes with a new ball, so a good maintenance program would be a good value.

My PSO gave me a good deal on a trade.
On my Monday practice league I'll be getting a Strike King. I'll be giving him that for the Vintage Danger Zone I got. And he's not concerned about waiting until the practice league is over. A mans word and/or a handshake is good enough for us.

drilling is 50.00 extra in my PS. like a Scandel is 139. plus 50 to drill. I don't know if inserts are extra too. Maybe the ball prices are lower. At this point I don't even know what a ball costs in the shop. I wanted my NVS plugged and re drilled and it was 60.00. I didn't think it was worth it for an outdated ball.

Inserts are extra. If you get in good with your PSO, there will come a time when they'll do the drilling and inserts for nothing.

I would love to trade the Scandal that I'm getting from the same league but the pro shop already said they don't want any of them on trade. That's not the pro shop that I use at another house. My PSO only sells Storm and Rotogrip balls so he won't take the trade in either.
