glcbowling on eBay??
« on: December 14, 2006, 12:58:14 AM »
Has anyone bought from glcbowling on eBay?  I asked for pin and topweight on a couple balls they have listed and I received a generic reply on both, stating they don't have the balls at their location and they have no idea about any specifics.  Their feedback is good, but it is padded with a lot of plastic balls and shoes where the specifics I want don't matter.

Thanks!

When you order from them , you are going to get any kind ogf spec's. Most of all you probably get pin 1-2 and that's all. Go with buddies or bowlers paradise and get the specs you want. Don't sacrifice price for what is best for your game.

some how that doesn't sound right. Don't look at the cheap price on ebay. Get what is best for you. Better specs mean different drilling options you have.

I have bought from them.  They mostly have older stuff, so it's basically whatever you have is what you get.

I think the ball I bought came with a 1.5" pin lol.

The pins are not good from them in my experiences. I bought 2 balls and requested a 3 inch pin and received a 1 inch pin. I was very unhappy with thier lack of response to my emails as well and will not be buying from them again..

I would personally look elsewhere Corey..

Thanks a lot for the info guys.  I was just looking at some of their older equipment which had great prices (and everyone knows I am CHEAP).

Looks like I'll be shopping elsewhere.

Guess i must have been lucky..
I bought a ball from them once.. Asked for specific specs and ball was perfect.. X-Factor Deuce : Pin 3', TW just below 3 oz..
But like stated above.. It sounds like it's whatever they have or can get hold of..

Heres the deal with GLC.... They were a decently large distributor in Michigan. They were bought out by a bigger distributor. GLC never closed out product so you could always get discontinued stuff until it was gone.... The new distributor is just clearing out the old stock from the other warehouse. It is pot luck but most are good.  beans
