Pete:
I think your nice way of saying that my guesstimate of value was too high for this Dahlgren ball proved true. In this case the market has spoken as that second, fairly nice, eBay one didn't sell at $250 all in with shipping. The starting price doesn't mean much but after all the eyeballs on it, the ending price on such a well viewed website does. I am a little surprised, but these big balls are a pain in the neck to handle and ship so maybe not. The first eBay one was not comparable to me as it looked like a meteor, but the 2nd eBay was pretty nice and only had one had an area of flaking. But Huntre's has the minorly offputting to some welding sprues so probably they are very comparable. By the way, I admitted not really knowing prices for these types as I find roundballs over a certain size to be a bit monotonous and too heavy to deal with much, but I would've been happy to have had other values thrown out by others like Pete who know better.
