Does anyone know what the value of a NIB 14 pound paradigm domination and a NIB 14 pound limited release Team USA gold balls? Thanks in advance.

Probably $100-150 for both. If they were 15lb maybe up to $200

Depends on how good the specs are as well.

No to thread jack, but what would you consider bad specs?

In general, a LONG pin with a high top weight. Almost impossible to swing the CG and be able to drill enough out to make the ball legal. Keep the CG in and the pin would be so high that the ball would roll real funny. Also, a pin right on top of the CG would be bad for many folks.

For the ball with a mass bias, if you had a funky spec where the cg ended above the pin and one would have to invert the ball to drill it may be more than what some pro shop operators could handle. Also, if in a mass bias the Pro CG or Pro Pin stuff you see out of Storm with some real funky spots could be very difficult for some to handle.

It is all about the buyer, what the buyer is looking for, and what the seller has. I throw 14# and would be VERY interested in the USA Gold ball, but I would need specs with between a 2 and 3 1/2 pin and between 2 and 3 ounces of top. Anything outside of those specs makes the ball bad FOR ME. However, someone else may love a super short or super long pin.

Box specs, Pin is 3-3.5 and top weight is 2.26. Pin looks close to 3 inches.

Those are good specs. Should be able to sell it depending on what you want for it.

Is the ball blue and red and say USA Bowling on the side with the 5 ring Olympic Logo between USA and Bowling?
