Oh Balls...I was out bid for a ball

Two years ago I won a bid on e-bay for an ivory roulette ball for my roulette wheel. Don't like the plastic balls that are in use these days.

Ball came from a casino in England and was aprox 30 years old. Had great history and a
terriffic story on how it came to reside in Florida. Paid $8 including shipping. Today I lost out on another ivory roulette ball that was
listed on e-bay. From England once again.

Been following ebay for the last year looking for this item to show, and ten days ago it finally popped up. Like a kid in a candy store I began my bidding. Even used a snipe at the end just incase my original bid would not be enough.

Who else would want one of these anyway, right?

Bottom line...18 bids and final sale of $50.00.
Guess I have to keep looking. $50.00??? Go figure.
