    Default Happiness is a new bowling ball

    I really like my DV8 Marauder Mutiny so much, I bought another one. It's a little different, 3.1 oz of top weight instead of 2.0, and a 2" pin instead of four. Both are 16#. I'm going to hang onto this ball until next summer as long as my first ball survives the winter. The best part? I got it for $37.

    In my area, when a ball is discontinued, the distributor makes an effort to clear stock.

    The #16 equipment usually goes cheap.

    It's not unusual to pick up balls that were once $100+ wholesale for as little as $25

    Right now for example, my distributor will sell me a pair of Linds Classic White RH Size 15, for $4.00

    Problem is, I don't have any customers to buy it.

    I got it on EBay, vdubtx. Watched it for a week. No one else bid on it. There are always 15# balls for sale for much more money than the 16 pounders. The seller set the starting price and since no one else bid, that's what I got it for. I would bid on more balls but my wife would kill me.
