    $90 - 15 pound aggressive bowling ball for sale. Was used in a bowling league. Good condition! Text if interested!

    Well, if it's aggressive I want it. I don't care the brand or model.

    There was another guy selling a White Dot for $80

    For $80 in my area, I can get this Hammer Pain that was "only used for one season" and "needs a thumb piece." Never mind that it was released in 2006. I wonder how a cover looks like that after one season lol.

    There is a empty batch of land near where I live that people tend to park cars with for sale signs on them.

    One day as a joke, someone parked a car there, and sign said, low mileage, but the engine needs a little work.

    The car was in rough shape, it didn't even have a front hood, which by not being there revealed the fact that it also didn't even have an engine.

    As for a 10 year old ball, I'd be hesitant to see if the ball had a cracked cover stock.

    Yeah, I don't even both looking for used balls. People try to sell em all the time on Ebay....usually for WAAAY too much.

    If I decided to sell some of mine...for whatever reason...the price would be $30-$35 shipped for an undrilled, unused ball. That would cover the shipping ($25) + $5-$10 handling. Any more than that....whats the point? There are new, closeout balls newer than what I have for $65-$130 shipped.

    I've never purchased a used ball. I've purchased used shoes and used bags all the time.

    Heck, my KR 3 ball roller (my best purchase so far) was purchased for $10. It has so many compartments and has been a workhorse.

    I don't have a problem with people charging $50-100 for a NIB ball or if it's a rare ball more. Where it gets crazy are people trying to get $10-$20 less than it costs to buy new for drilled balls.
