What do you do with your old equipment?

[martin]

If you can use it, sell it or let a friend/teammate use it that's one thing. I was thinking more of the people I know who have all sorts of stuff (balls, bags, shoes) sitting in the basement or garage that they don't want, don't use and just haven't done anything with. I know a guy that ticks me off for many reasons but one being he gets mad at a ball, no matter the cost or age, and throws it into the river! His Hammer Jigsaw had less than 10 games on it when I went into the river after it and gave it to the team. The splash it made when he threw it off that bridge was cool but still, come on now.

what??!! throwing into the river? for real?

That's for real. He has a hitch in his delivery that causes him fits. He doesn't know he does it either. I would tell him if he wasn't such a jerk.

OMG that's crazy.. i struggle to get enough money to even buy a ball.. and he has enough money to toss it into the river like that? might as well give it to me..

same! i'm also struggling to save for a ball and he just threw a ALMOST brand new ball into the river! SIGH!!!

[billf]

Oh don't worry. He acts like a big shot but he has less money than brains. Which given this guy is really saying something.

[martin]

i'm praying he never wins anything.. lol..

[eugene02]

even if he wins, he'll waste it!

I've only had one move out of the arsenal. Gave it to my wife. i have my mutant cell now, but I'll probably sell that for 50.00. We don't have high school teams and we have a good youth set up at the lanes which i participate in tourneys for.

I've got my old 16 lb. plastic ball that I started with that I don't use anymore. I live in Switzerland so there are no high school teams around to donate to. I was planning on holding on to it for any new team members we might get, but if it doesn't look like we are going to get one soon I might give it to one of the newbies in the league I play in who doesn't have his own ball. It's not doing anyone any good sitting in my house.....and I didn't play with it long enough to have any real special memories with.
