Bowling Balls to sell

last SG · 2002-05-15T01:54:00+00:00

Do you want my BLACK WEAPON? It's a proven strike ball----- name a price! ------------------ I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seem...

desmondtan SG

I've got a couple of bowling balls to sell. They're a little old, so I doubt anyone would want to consider them for personal balls.

Thought I might sell them to a bowling club. Does anyone know of such bowling club which buys used bowling balls?

Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

harmzuay SG

Desmond, just list your gear here. We'll decide if we want them. Smile some of us here collect antiques.

desmondtan SG

Okie, here are the bowling balls models:

Brunswick (LASER) - 11
Brunswick - 14 (black colour)
Magnum XL5 - 14 (black colour)

Anyone interested? :-)

airgrinder SG

yo desmond,

I am sorry I do not know what balls are those that u have for sale. Is both the 14 lbs polyster?

------------------
High games to all, always!

desmondtan SG

Oops.. You know, I haven't got any idea what materials they are. I'll try and find out, or if possible put up a picture of them.

Thanks so much!

Ian SG

damn! those look like balls i may need! if they dun hook much…i tink i might just want them..brunswick too! rubs hands in anticipation

harmzuay SG

I have no idea what a Brunswick black is. But the Magnum is of Ebonite make (Here, Prataman, prataman, prataman...). They have a couple of older Magnums - numbered 5, 10 and 12. I suspect the XL5 is an "X-tra length" version of the Magnum 5. FYI, the Magnum 12 is a urethane, while the Magnum 10 was rubber. That's all i could get.

------------------
Always remember: It's easier to spare from a channelball than a split. Very Happy

prataman SG

Did somebody say >>EBONITE<< ..... Heheheheheh... errr no thanks, Harmzuay. Got my eyes on a Predator right now.

Anybody want to join forces with me order from overseas? Very shiong to get just 1 ball.

jae SG

Prataman, i'm on!
but, do tell us more regarding the details of ordering from overseas, how they charge, etc, and can u recommend me any ball that's more aggressive than my Complete Chaos?
i need something that really bite those lanes that are flooded man!

Ian SG

and i need a ball that doesnt hook at all in oily lanes and maybe a little snap on those pesky dry ones…

desmondtan SG

Hi Guys!! Thank you so much for all your responses and information.. It is much appreciated. :-)

Unfortunately, I'll only be able to furnish more details a week later as I'll be leaving for Melbourne tonight. Need a break from work...

Keep the Strikes & Spares coming!!

prataman SG

Jae, interested ah?

It's pretty simple. I liase with the person via email, it's always the same person, so I know who to contact.

We finalise the total price of the balls, shipping. Then I go to the bank and get a cheque/bank draft to send it to them, and they will send the equipment to me upon receipt. It's quite safe, I've done it quite a few times.

Something more aggressive than your Complete Chaos? If you want to stay within the Columbia family, I'd say the Reaction Roll is the ball then.

SMS or call me to confirm, Jae!
Ian, want to join us? SMS me too! 96947062.
Any others? The more, the cheaper it becomes.
Economy of scale, after all.

harmzuay SG

Economy of scale only on the shipping costs, eh?
Anyway Jae, a lot of balls are stronger than your CC. Reaction Roll and Arc are supposed to be unplayable on anything BUT heavy oil. But there must be at least a few balls from every company that meets your requirements.
Prata - I'm in for bandwagon. =) Just tell me when you blokes are buying, and i'll tell you my order.

prataman SG

Alright, here's the deal.

So far:

Prataman: 15 lb Ebonite Predator
Jae: 14 lb "Hook-Monster"
Jeremy: TBC
Ian Tan: TBC, 15 lbs

Very nice. Please let me know which ball you want so I can let you know the costs for each individual person. If you like the price, then I'll go ahead with the order. Please let me know by this weekend so I can catch them early Monday.

Can?
Please?

Ian SG

hey, are they still selling the command arc zone? i would like have one..

chuanish SG

prata, is it okay to place an order for a non-ball? I really like the Columbia Chaos towel, red stitching on black backing. But can’t seem to find it in this country.

prataman SG

Of course, Chuan. Of course. Order noted Smile

Deamon SG

Hey partaman, really can order non-ball items ah? can order shoes or not??

Ian SG

hey yeah…how much for a SST 6?

harmzuay SG

Hey partaman, really can order non-ball items ah?

Man, that is some name change... Very Happy
