PIAS - Great Finds

[SpikeHyzer]

So...I stopped by the PIAS today over my lunch hour. Had a decent find. 171g 2006 Augusta CFR Wraith. $4.99. I would rate it an 8.5 out of 10. Not a bad find.

I assume the store owners set their own prices? The PIAS by my house never has discs that cheap. Their basic pricing is $5.99 for DX/Pro type plastics, in any condition, and $8.99 for Champ/Star type plastics, in any condition. Some of the discs they have in DX I doubt they'll ever sell because they're so beat.

I think they had this one mis-marked. Usually used champion goes for $6.99. Pro is $4.99 and DX is $2.99.

If you decide you want to trade away that Wraith, let me know. A friend swears by them so I've been wanting to try one out. Just kick a PM with any discs you are looking for. Thanks.

Wow. I'd be there a lot more often if the prices were the same here.

Nothing lately. Got a 9x KC Eagle the other day for $5.00 (7/10). Other than that, pretty lame-o PIAS discs around here.

Found an 8x Roc that I picked up for $6.

Traded it to a friend for an Opaque Red CE Eagle-X, an Opaque 10x Eagle-X, and some other good stuff.

Seemed worth my $6. :lol:

Not a PIAS, but my local shop (Utopia) here in Norwalk, CT started selling used discs after I sold them about 50 for $4 a pop to fund a PS3 purchase.

A few weeks ago I went in to see what had sold and what was left. To my surprise other people had also sold discs. I found a beat in Champ Firebird with the stamp taken off. I bought it on the spot to replace the STAR one I had just lost. It's a keeper, still crazy stable, but not quite as stable as a new one. Very happy with it. BTW - almost all the discs I had sold them had been bought up. And I've seen tons of them on my local course too...

I know this is a long shot but... Anyone been to the PIAS in Hamilton NJ? I am too lazy and poor to drive over there and find out they have no discage. My bad if this has been adressed previously in the thread(again, lazyness).

 

[roman1]

You can call them and ask. That's what I had to do around here to find out which carried discs and which didn't.

 

[Bugbee]

Right, the telephone. Forgot all about that thing.

So...I had a chance to throw that Wraith I found at PIAS last week. First throw with it was Ewing Park hole 10...600+ ft slightly downhill...pin high 40 right. The disc flat out booms in the open.

Got a 7/10 10X teebird today for 4.50. Not bad.

 

[Jesse B 707]

at my local pias they just got in a shipment of "new" plastic the other day, the thing is its all Discraft stuff from pre 2000 :? Xclones,marauders,elite pro comets,TP cyclones (which i cleaned out),eclipses,and a couple of nice hard Magnets all brand new. im curious as to where they got all this old crap

 

[rusch_bag]

The one I was at had all of that shit to. I almost bought of bunch of it but I figured I wouldn't throw it ever so why.

 

[Donkeypuncher1]

I just picked up a 11x kc pro teebird for $7 and a polaris LF for $4. Almost picked up a first run crush, but I'm not a fan.

 

[RustyP1]

Nabbed an almost new pearly Champ Monster for $9, seasoned Sanny Big-bead Aviar for $5, older DX plastic Rancho Roc (with the coveted slight-dome) for $5....and best of all...a new Epic for $4 :twisted:

(after reading the article in the new FDM, I just have to give the epic thumber a shot)

 

[roman1]

The if you can throw a good thumber with that Epic, you can have some lethal throws with it. There's a guy here that can park 550ft holes with it. There's also a tough alternate tee here that is easy to bogey and you pretty much have to throw a good roller to make it an easier 3. He found a little window in the trees above the tee where he thumbers his Epic and puts it within 50-70ft of the basket each time.

I didnt find them at PIAS but I picked up 2 176 11x KC Pro Rocs with dimples on both of em for 8 bucks each

I'm Happy

I just got 2 Bar Stamp "Stable Mid-Range Driver" Rocs for $2.55 for the pair. Not at PIAS (ebay), but I'm pretty happy too.
