    those are breeding balls, left together they make many more, like bunnies

    but not playboy bunnies, there are less of them these days.

    That's cuz ol Hef wore them all out.

    I wonder if maybe there's a misprint on this auction? What if this is for 1,000,000 balls? If that's the case this is great deal!

    New policy:
    Only 100 balls come with each machine, but you get one of these for free...

    If that ad was actually for pinballs (ie 1 1/16" diameter chrome steel balls for regular pinball machines) rather than pachinko balls, then the shipping price would be quite reasonable, as 1000 pinballs would weigh in at about 70kg/150lbs

    I fear that given that it's listed in the Pinball machines section, that some poor pinball collector is going to be thinking that they're getting a real bargain as new pinballs typically cost about a dollar each.

    Unfortunately, while you can save a few bucks, it's still a roll of the dice when they offer no warranty to speak of.
