Please forgive me...I did the unthinkable...
« on: February 01, 2005, 01:37:46 PM »
I sold my precious.  I had a NIB 15# Vendetta Particle Solid that I was saving for a rainy day.  Well, a fellow bowler was in need of a new ball, so being the nice guy that I am, I sold it to him for exactly what I paid for it.  Ever since the day it left, I have not been the same.    It had almost the exact specs my current one has that I use.  I call it "Old Blue"  The Vendetta Particle Solid is the most versatile, controllable, and consistent bowling ball I have ever put in my hand.  Now I am turning to the Dyno-Thane community and asking does anyone have a NIB 15# Vendetta Particle Solid they would be willing to part with?  There must be another one around somewhere...

Thank you.  Man, $108 + shipping is expensive for this ball.

Consider it your penance.

Old balls that no one wants go down in price, while old balls that people still want are now considered rare, and therefore go up in price.

In other words, which way do you think the price will be going, as the supply becomes smaller?

If you really want the ball, I'd get one before it's $208.

Darn, that means I'll have to sell my first born to find a NIB Red/Black.

I actually have about 25 of these... 15 and 16 lb. Vendetta Particle and Vendetta Particle Carbides.. The carbides are the exact ball with orange lettering and were overseas versions.  LMK  Beans
