u should check bowlingball.com's radical inferno, there are some "SOBs" putting a 160 bid on a radical inferno...

of course those "SOBs" are new users with no rep

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one

This guy on youtube posts videos of the PBA
for ppl who dont watch TV or want to save the matches this will be great!

That's what I figured. I saw on the other day NIB with a Buy-it-now for $115.00.

If you look at the bids you can see the winning bidder was prepared to go even higher.

the bid war usually does it, especially if there are more than 2 people.

as a "jack you up at the last second" type of bidder, i dont like to see auctions that go up and up like this, i like the price to stay low until i can put in "my price" for it.

The thing about the Radical is that all the higher bidders had a "0" rating and more than likely just will not pay.

That plus they don't know they can actually get it online new for that price,
PLUS a lot of people are hesitant to bring a new ball into a pro shop and just ask for drilling services.

I love this one - He entered a $14,000 bid (probably meant to do $140) then retracted it for the wrong reason.

Actually, I just looked a little more. Dave198207 and jakesmith1982 both did the same thing - must have wanted to find out the top bid...
The only thing jakesmith1982 has used the account for is bid retractions...
