you mean the 14lber crimson?

Well i was winning the bid onto the 14lb Clear Gargoyle, but got sniped at the last second and lost by 2.50.

But i was also bidding on the 16lber at the same time, and there was a last 2 minute bidding war. the price jumped 45.00 with 5 bids in that time.
But I came out the winner in that one

Congratulations.  I tried to bid on the 14, but the price jumped up so fast, I never got a bid in.  

My teammate said he paid under $100 for his when they first came out.

When they first came out, a buddy of mine with a PBA card could get them cheap (I guess they were still registered at the time). Anyway, glad I still got a NIB 1st quality 15#....that'll be my kids' college one day!
