Re: Orbit Balls - For Sale
Just as a point of reference, some Canadian teams paid $100 USD, which is almost equal to $125 CAD for 3 orbit balls. Of course this cost includes shipping, handling, duty and customs brokerage. Regardless it speaks to what teams are willing to pay for an essential item with a very limited supply.
I for one think the $20-30 price point is pretty fair, depending on the quality of the balls. (I've seen some homemade balls which behave very, very differently than the real orbit balls.)
