Steal of a deal
« on: January 11, 2017, 08:33:20 PM »
What is a ball you picked up that was just too good of a deal to let pass? Ball name, price, and did it end up working well for you?

From what I know of a local EBI staffer he gets his new balls for $50. So his staffer buddy probably made $50. $100 is still a good price for a current high-end release though.

I've got a few connects with people who work at the Ebonite plant...got my black hammer urethane, GB2 and Heat all for $50 a piece. I think I'll reach out again come next fall for something high end.

I used to get barely used balls cheap when I was younger. This guy would always buy the newest ball released and often didn't like them so he'd sell them to me for cheap. Now, not so much a steal but I was able to buy the dare devil trick like 2 weeks early. Does that count?

I second the freak show for $89 this ball has incredible performance in a entry level price point, can't miss with this one!
