    ebay is the best place I have found. If you are patient, you can get them for 2.5 to 3 cents each after shipping. The more you buy, the better of a deal you can get.

    Good luck!

    Agreed. I haven't found anything close to the prices on eBay. Everywhere else is double the cost, if not more. I've been buying balls in batches of 2,000 and with all costs it usually comes out to around $73 each time.

    Having said that, I REALLY want to buy some of those gold balls from vintagepachinko.com. They look super-cool, and I think it would be a fun thing to have a pachi party and if you get a gold ball in payouts you get a prize or summat.

    Ebay is the best place to get balls. StopExpress is the best seller. Best packer and very fast shipping. You have to be patient when bidding to get the best possible price though. It seems people buy in spurts when it comes to balls. I have picked up quite a few 2000 lots for only 49.99 + shipping. Good Luck!

    they are as scarce as hens teeth in europe, some u.s. ebay sellers will ship in flat rate boxes for around 35.00 plus the cost of the balls.

    This Seller has Pachinko Balls listed on eBay at the moment, and you can contact them regarding quantities, sizes, etc

    But I think shipping to Sweden is expensive at £25 GBP

    Weight would be your issue, unless your country has a good EMS or better yet SAL shipping agreement.

    Here's a search link for pachinko ball on Yahoo Japan Auctions. There is a proxy bidder we use who is very trustworthy - Kiagumi - do a search for more info on him
