This is the wrong forum for the post, but I have a 15# NIB(original box).

$300 plus actual shipping from 95219. Yep, it's over priced, but that's what it will take to get it.

I'd love to get my hands on a NIB BW, but MILO for $300 it looks much better at your place :)

Yea, it does look pretty nice at my house. That's why I'm so fond of it.  ;D

I've seen a lot of the BW solids, but this one has more red than any other one I have seen.

Does anyone realize you can make like $500 at league in one night in brackets and sidepots...$300 is not high at all.  Bowlingball.com used to sell the 'nv' for $500...ive seen it in person...wasnt impressed...NOW THE BLACK WIDOW...thats a good one!

Thanks. I get that with several different balls I have, and that's OK everyone is entitled to their opinion. I wouldn't pay $300 for a NIB Black Widow either. But if someone else really wants one, that's what it will take to get mine.   

As I tell people locally when they want to buy a ball that I'm not really looking to sell; Everything I own is FOR sale, it's just not ON sale.  ;D ;D

Many may be smart enough to realize that at $300 it may not be worth it. If you drill the ball and like it, not love it and like many bowling balls it doesn't win you $$$$ in bracksts then what? New or old bowling balls don't make the bowler.

Any one who drills a lot of equipment realizes that. Ball junkies find out the expensive way.

Agreed kidlost! I see it more as a collectors item at this point and have no intention of drilling it myself.

But I like ball junkies, they make me money!  ;D

Oh yes. I have been there done that. Bought and sold a few gems the past few years for profit. All bowling balls I would love to have tried but they are worth more in $$$ then drilled on the lanes.

Synergy green pearl, Sapphire Zone, Senor Xcel, Double Helix ect.

The Sapphire Zone I hated to sell but it went for $320. I couldn't have drilled it and been that crazy about the ball.
