$20,000.00 seems a little out of my price range for a bowling ball. You'd think at that price they'd throw in free shipping.

I want know who would pay this much??? Wow and no free shipping ::)
-
"Former tour bowler"??? When you click on the seller's other items you get quite an interesting mix of listings...
-
for $20,000 it better have gyroscopics in it that will allow to me average 300 no matter bad I throw it.
-
This has to be a typo.
I think I will offer the seller $2.00 just in case... ;D
-
Whatever someone is willing to pay. It’s like with anything.

I paid about that much for my brand new 2011 Mazda 6...I think my auto was a better deal.

Ugh... I'd expect that for KK's Ebonite Mission that she won the TOC with, but isn't that one in the Smithsonian? Perhaps Sonnenfeld's Blue Pearl Pulse because of being the first 900...
This though... wow..
I wouldn't put that high of a monetary on any ball. They'd have more of a sentimental value than anything (the balls I used to shoot 300s became trophies), but not in a 5 figure range.. wow.
BL.

Maybe for Glenn Allison's Yellow Dot with which he threw the true first 900!
(Wonder if it was a bleeder?)
-
I could see Allison's yellow dot going for a very large sum. Clearly a collectors item. Incidentally, it was a 0R batch from 1980. They were bleeders. I had a 0R of my own that was very good.
-
Imagine that, no one has bought this yet.... ???
-
I wonder if anyone even tried to submit a "best offer" for the ball
-
Maybe they are playing the whole "I really don't want to part with this, but if someone is willing to pay me this amount I will" game.
A lot of exorbitantly high "buy it now" listings on eBay are exactly that. People not wanting to part with things but testing the waters. The owner of a company I worked at would do that with his business...actually put it on the market and entertain offers. A couple of times he would get to the point of having all of the contracts drawn up and get to the boardroom table only to tear up the contracts and say "I just can't do it!"

I thought about it, then realized that I was just too lazy and didn't really give a crap.
Besides, my offer would have been intentionally offensive; and since I don't know who's posting this, I didn't need some angry PBA dude tracking me down in a fit of rage and beating me about the head and shoulders. ;D

Sounds like he is inviting litigation.

If 20,000 is too high, you can have yourself an original faball red hammer for 2,000 here https://www.ebay.com/itm/133901695312?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3Da5f44db6870a4323930e48c2bcf362d2%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D403172487484%26itm%3D133901695312%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2334524%26brand%3DFaball&_trksid=p2334524.c100667.m2042
