Thats because he has the shipping set to 1-6 days instead of standard ground 5-10.

To my house it's $57.98. Have you had a chance to throw the Intense Inferno? Still waiting on when I can go to my pro shop and plug and re-drill the Ultra Zone.

Im so glad people are brainwashed to think that TRACK sucks. And its even funnier when im carrying with my TRACK ball and they're going flat ten with their BRUNSWICK ball.

It's a used ball. It should have pictures of the ball itself, not a stock manufacturer's photo.

This is obviously this guy's first attempt at a bowling ball sale and he did zero research. Thus he failed.

$50 is not unreasonable for an excellent condition Rising. It was expensive to start with. Shipping should be the shipping cost. UPS shipping from TN to NJ is not $26. Therefore he is adding about another $10 or so of profit into the shipping cost.

Yup I'm sure he didn't realize it would jack up the cost that much.  I'm sure if someone is interested and emailed him with the concern he would make it right.  Or you can all just keep complaining about it, either way works for me lol.
