Pachinko Balls

**cardwwi** · 02-25-2010, 02:40 PM

It seems like lately that if I want Pachinko balls I have to buy the machine they're in. I wonder what it would cost to order them from the factory and have them shipped from Japan. If a lot of us got to getter and split the cost of a couple million balls, I don't need a million balls - just a few thousand. But there might be a price break for a larger order. This is just an idea I'm throwing out there and would appreciate feedback on it.

If anybody has any connections, or if it doesn't seem cost effective let me know. I don't have to be the one to do it, I just don't know anybody in Japan. I'm just trying to get pachinko balls as cheap as possible.

I would have to think buying the ones off of ebay would be cheaper than ordering from overseas.
Just a thought.

Well... if you put the calculator to work... it's $25 plus $5 for shipping, that $30. Divide that by 500 (# of balls) and you get $.06 per ball.

If the math came out closer to $.04 per ball.. then I'd be buying in qunatities of 1,000.

Hint, Hint.

But maybe I'm asking to much.

I'd prefer to give the business to a PachiTalk member, however when buying them by the 1000's, those extra two pennies really add up!

Of course.. if I was to purchase with a local source... then I wouldn't have to pay shipping! Generally for a 1,000 balls shipping is $10... at least from my previous supplier.
