What do you suppose the resale value of 42,000 golf balls would be? Supposing you found someone to buy them in the first place, I'd guess no more than .05 per ball. So, $2,100 total.

It looks like people are asking between 10 and 20 cents on ebay.  Maybe that's where these balls ended up.

I am not sure if they are worth .05. Especially since they are used. Guy is an idiot.

I looked at your link and the completed listings are going for less than 2 cents a ball for the most part.

Stealing 42,000 range balls seems like a lot of work.


I can picture this guy thinking he is so smart taking a couple bags every few days. I bet he knows who ratted him out too.
