Over a year ago (obviously before I was on Track's staff) I purchased an original Vicious Particle Solid from them and the specs were on the money, although I do believe they reserve the right to send whatever they have, especially on closeouts.

 - yes

did they try and meet specs?  
 - when possible...i've requested specific pins and they've always come through.

are tehy good specs/crappy?  
 - when i don't specify specs, the balls have been normal production models.

Recently won from their auction, if you request for certain specs they will try their best to get it for you.

I bought a Fear Factor and a X Factor Reloaded from them over a year ago. It came in time and in described condition. Both also has good specs, no blemished or seconds either. I wouldn't be afraid to order from them...

I would also not hesitate to use them. Done so before, and I've been very pleased.

I've bought several balls from them thru Ebay. I specify my desired specs upon payment. Of the 7 or 8 (or more ?) balls I have bought from them, only 1 was not EXACTLY what I requested. They insist that they cannot guarrantee the request. At Ebay type prices, such a record is laudable.

I'd suggest making sure that the ball you bid on is one in decent supply; that means they'll have a decent selection of good balls. I think that's all you can do. For an Ebay seller, they have a very good record, for me, at this time. Please note the emphasis.

I buy my balls for next year each summer from them.  Specs are close to what I request, I usually tell them 2-4" pin and as close to 3 on top weight as possible.  I have bought a few formula's and ego's from them this year, all good specs, but I would think there inventory would be getting low on them and good specs may be getting slim.

Also Bowlmart is the same guy and he also has another name that he takes paypal only.
