[@jbfitness101]

He snagged a $10,000 ball for $500. Could easily flip it for a massive profit but instead is going to drill it and use it later on, killing its value. What a legend

[@skidhookroll]

It's apparently worth $500. Asking price is not "worth." His auction win was the highest paid for an undrilled one in the last 3 years on eBay. Drilled, they go for about $150.

[@220avg]

@skid have u seen any other undrilled ones sold on eBay? I can’t see any others that have even been listed besides the ones that aren’t see through

[@skidhookroll]

@@220avg Nope, not in last 3 years. A single drill blue clear went for $300, a lesser condition orange clear for $150. You set the bar!

[@220avg]

I’m actually the buyer for the blue clear also lmao. But I’m not seeing any other clear ones that have sold or even listed on eBay, where are you seeing this one for $150?

[@skidhookroll]

@@220avg If you use ebays terapeak research feature in the seller hub you can see back 3 years but won't show the full listing, just the result and maybe a photo. I searched for Mikasa bowling ball and sorted by highest sold price. 5/3/22 a clear orange sold for $149 + s/h. You can't see the full listing but you can zoom in on the photo. Ball has two sets of plug marks.

[@Tarquin21723]

Do it right at the pro Shop. That Ball deserves it. I'd be curious to see how it looks in Cosmic Bowling.

[@ambiarock590]

I wanna see this badly

[@CEmanified]

The movie used rose spare ball from Kingpin sold for $350,000 in March. I think that makes this the second most expensive bowling ball.

[@longruen3071]

You cannot drill a Mikasa by hand. Even with a drill press you will need to drill it under water. It breaks drill bits.

[@ambiarock590]

Honestly I wouldn't even drill it. It's too perfect

This is one of the most beautiful bowling ball I've ever seen. I really love its color.

[@SubZero0127]

Honestly based on its reaction, I wouldn’t even drill it. Leave it on the mantle or repost it and maybe make 7k off it😂 just my opinion of course but I wouldn’t drill it.

[@showtimeman5673]

I wouldn't either

[@ambiarock590]

I'm thinking the same on this one. That ball is just too perfect to drill. I have an undrilled storm golf ball that I refuse to drill so drilling the Mikasa ball would just be painful

I literally just looked for a video of this ball yesterday and think you're the first!!! Thanks :)

[@thebestian]

how do bowling companies not have an option for this? Guitars have "custom shop" editions where you can get anything done. All they would have to do is use an existing mold and put different colors in it. And for that money? So worth it for them. I guess the PBA would hate them for that, but serial numbers exist?

Ik there's no finger holes in it and its a plastic ball, but the lane also looks super flooded with oil.

[@JAW_73]

I know a guy and his step son in Vacaville that each had one drilled up for use as their spare ball. I think it was the standard green and orange one though.

[@bowlerdave9347]

Would love to see you throw an Ebonite Clear Wolf from the mid 90s. I had 2, one dull drilled for early roll and one that was a marble drilled to go forever. Yeah, I know they were plastic. But oil was expensive and bowling alleys didn't like to use it in the 90s. That Mikasa hits like a train.
