No love for used Track equipment?
« on: August 28, 2008, 06:05:50 AM »
I have noticed that a lot of people (including myself) are having trouble selling used Track balls. Has anyone else noticed this? Anybody have any ideas why?

The biggest reason is that the newer pieces are making quite a name for themselves.  Most notably, the K.E. Rising, and UpRising.  Not to mention, depending on where you go or who you know, you can get a brand new ball relatively cheap.

I've seen some places that are trying to sell old pieces like the Phenom Unleashed for 150$. Not happening.

X,

If you could show me where the place had the $150 PU for, I would buy it NOW, provided it was a 1st Q undrilled PU.

The used ball market *in general* is pretty bad right now.

My league is tomorrow.  If the shop still has it(which they should) I'll get the weight, and even a pic if you want.  I know it's undrilled-I've seen it.  I'll PM you tomorrow night.

Not for nothing. If you are trying to sell used balls prior to Ebonite taking over, you may have a hard time. There are a handfull of good ones, but not everyone wants old stuff. Try Ebay. Other than that, the newer stuff should go quick. It is the best out there.

It all depends on what you want,like and matchup with. I still use my 2 drilled 5.0's and have a NIB 5.0 and power machine.

In my bag for fall league: 5.0, Rising, KE and Kenetic.

The 5.0 is the ball that drove me away from Track. It never did matched up to me from day one. I loved the Havoc a bunch. I liked the Heat remake also as well as the Triton Elite Solid several years ago, but hated the 5.0 and before that, hated the Contender and Enforcer also.

I am trying to sell a Kinetic and only had one offer and it was dependent on what he sold his balls on ebay for. I know that there are a couple others trying to sell used Kinetics and not getting any offers.

I am getting an old RoboRule and will buy a Mean Machine.

I had good success with my Arsenals evne though the drilled f*!"§!%§§!ed them up with a 0.8 too long span and hurtung fingers...

some time with L#1... nothing special honestly

So here I am... great things with my Machine... getting two more balls with the same core and different coverstocks...

But also have seen good results with the new stuff.... quality is a must nowadays ... so I guess every ball is good in the right hands
