When you buy the new ball online for $160, and then take it locally to be drilled, it costs up to $60 to be drilled. Now you are out $220 compared to the $130 for the used ball.
Even if you have the online shop drill it, they are going to charge the $160 plus $30 for drilling, so you are out $190.
The used ball does represent some savings over brand new.
Polyester balls don't last forever for me. They usually end up cracking/disintegrating around the fingers and thumb. I need a new one every 3-4 years.
