Because the first thing you said in the thread was "you know you can get them at wal-mart, right?", and people were trying to tell you that that was not the case for a large number of teams, including every single foreign team (Orbit Balls were not sold outside of the USA, ever).

I think $20 is a fair price, though really any price is fair, some just might be poorer selections than others. If you priced them at $1000 apiece thats your decision, but you probably wouldn't sell many. Its all about finding the right price point to sell the maximum number.

That's a ridiculous price to ask teams in need who may have not found balls
If they don't offer the balls to other teams at all, then the price is essentially infinity, and that would be even worse. Given the labour required to make them, offering to sell them at all when that labour could be put towards actually building a bot is very generous of them.
