Lanes and games in Cambridge usually has a few used pins on the desk. I think they sell them for $3. If you wanted a bunch of them you might be able to get a better deal. I'd also check with Brunswick in Lowell, since that's closer for you.
E-Bay ........... usually about $40 a set delivered
If anyone has a better deal, let me know, I'd love a set!
You should be able to get the used ones for free from most Bowling alley's. Once they are used up,they are no good to them, and it costs them a fortune to get rid of them in the trash.
Thats what I was thinking, I dont think we have a ten pin alley around me
Yeah, tenpin alleys are relatively uncommon in MA. Closest to you is Lowell, next are probably Cambridge and Malden, though I can't speak to what's north or east of you.
It's quite different from where I grew up in PA, which is also a shall issue state. How did I end up here again?
I went thru this about five years ago. Contacted every Bowling ally in New England.
They recycle the pins back to the manufacture. AMF and you can buy them directly from AMF.
They were pretty expensive so I did not get any. If I recall they were asking about $1 per pin with minimun orders of 1,000 pins or so.
Way to much money for something to shoot at.
Think about other industries that would love you to take their garbage away for free and you can shoot at it.
Old Red Micky Bricks are cool. They go puff when you shoot them
wow that is alot... what is a micky brick.
