    Default Used bowling balls ....ugh

    I just bought a used Storm Manic and Frantic on Ebay . The Manic came as described but the Frantic, oh boy. The seller described the Frantic as "lightly used with only 27 games" on it. Either that lanes they bowl at are in real bad shape or they are bowling on blacktop roads! there are so many nicks and cut that I doubt I will have this one plugged and drilled. not to mention the cracked bridge that he failed to picture or say anything about. Got it for 25 dollars but if I seen this ball at a yard sale I would not give you 5 dollars.

    That's one of the reasons I would not buy a used ball off of fleecebay oops
    err I mean ebay they can tell you anything about a ball on there but that
    doesn't mean it's true.

    The only time I would even consider buying a used ball off of ebay would be
    one that Tony from bowlingball.com would be selling on there then I'd believe
    what was said about it.

    He had many feedbacks and all were positive so I thought I would try. I would apply for a refund but it would cost me 20 dollars to send it back and I only paid 25 for it. just chalk it up to lesson learned

    I've only bought NIB balls off eBay. I've seen some used balls on there and some people are trustworthy and some are out for your money. It sucks to say the least.
