Keep in mind that US issue balls in Europe and Asia start at a much higher price even brand new.  I think it's at least $100 added on to whatever the price would be for a ball in the US.

ok so that would make it a $300 ball?  $400 for any ball is absolutely nuts.

But, but, but he's already had offers nearly twice the asking price, so can't you guys see how GREAT this deal is?

 I mean WOW, an '06 batch FiredUp that was saved for a couple of guys who don't want it and can't use it can be your for just $300-$400.

 Really, if people wouldn't give $150 for them when they were new on the market, why would they give over twice that much for one now?

 Oh yeah, I forgot, it's the best ball EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I''m pretty sure the way it works is like this....

What does a top end ball cost in most good pro shops around the U.S? $225 depending where you go? For that $225 it includes the sales tax, drilling and grips and slug? In the U.K a top end ball out the door from the top pro shops will cost around £225. £225 is around $375.

So look at it this way.......Fired Up when it first came out, $170 from most good pro shops out the door in the U.S? In the U.K They cost £170 ($280 approx) so now 3 years later they are only a little more than there price? In the U.K they play on half the amount of oil the U.S has and the Fired Up was a very popular ball, the main supplier even imported the asian release "fired up 2".

Lillen and Gee - I know Lillen you are from Sweden and Gee I''m not sure but, Lillen I bowl in Sweden regularly at supersixxxxxx events and I was in a pro shop in Gothenburg and saw Virtual Gravitys out the door for 3,000sek which is around $500? Correct me if im wrong but you guys in scandinavia pay top money for balls?

I have some "gems" I''m willing to part with, message me with your offers! All are 15lb unless I say

Track = Phoneix + Strike Machine
Hammer = Black Hammer + Black Widow Poison + Hot Sauce Solid
Storm = Hyroad Extreme + T road Solid + Tour Power + X factor
Brunswick = Original Inferno + Zone Classic + Cold Fury
Ebonite = Gamebreaker + Smash Time solid + V2 Clean
Columbia300 = Reaction ricochet + all rival series
