    Default Pachinko Balls

    Just wanted to give a continued thanks to all our customers from pachitalk and to give you a heads up.

    We have some really beautiful balls up for sale currently They are engraved with TAKARA in Japanese katakana which translates to "Treasure".

    We have been selling balls on EBAY for almost 7 years and these are truly nice.

    They surely won't last long once people get a look. Just trying to give our regulars a heads up. Thanks again and happy ebaying.

    Just search goldenstatetraders1 on ebay That is our ebay name as well.

    Truly hope you enjoy them.

    I also wanted to let you know if any one was looking for hard to find pachinko related items. We are importing 4-6 40' containers a year. In the past we would bring in bulk machines for several vendors and let the sell to general public.

    We are seeking like minded partners who have wish lists they wish but can't fill out a container themselves.

    Rest assured that we are pros in the import field with 25 years of experience in importing everything from pachinko products to lumber and everything in between.

    If you are interested in consolidated shipments from Japan or other parts of Asia please let us know. (we have imported for several current pachitalk members who I am sure are very happy)

    Our containers are consistent, with January, March, June and September shipments EVERY YEAR.

    Just to give you an idea you can plan on $1300-$1500 per metric ton( dimensions 41" by 47" by 48") of goods. Those in the know can shop that price pretty easy.

    Hope this is helpful to some out there.

    Thanks,

    Walter

    I have won quite a few auctions for balls over the past year or two from Golden State Traders and they are truly fantastic. Very professional, super-quick shipping, and they even reached out to me to see if I needed a larger ball purchase when they had seen that I'd already bought about 10,000 balls from them. Highly recommended!!

    I have purchased QUITE A LOT of balls from GoldenState Traders.

    They are the greatest. Fast shipping and very fair pricing.

    Their goods are in such a demand that sometimes you have to just

    keep at it, bidding on auctions. And like playing pachinko, you

    sometimes win!

    That is correct on the Katakana!!! The translation of "Treasure" make these really special. Some of the best we have seen.

    Just to give you an idea, I have switched my own balls out for these. I can get Pachinko Balls at anytime and these are the ones I chose for myself. They just don't come around like this very often and I have seen tens of millions.

    Sorry to sound like I'm going overboard on my own product. The truth is I to am a huge pachinko fan and I am truly excited to share product that I know people will appreciate and take pride in showing their friends and display in their homes.

    Thanks again to our regulars and I hope you will be pleasantly surprised with our current product. Please put them to good use. Happy pachinko playing.

    yep, I've gotten all my pachinko balls from goldenstatetraders and am very happy. As a matter of fact, the first of four boxes just showed up today. The post misstress just could not beleave a flat rate box could be so heavy.

    I think between Kiai, and Goldenstatetraders, I've gotten so many heavy boxes that the Post Misstress just calls me at work and tells me to come get the box and don't send the wife!

    You think you hate getting them, Our post office people go to lunch the moment they see our truck arrive. We are famous for heavy boxes in all Nor-Cal. It is really a love,hate thing.

    As long as they are getting paid you can bet on it. They would just rather throw 10 OZ. mail around. When they get one of our 5,000 balls packages which are at 64 Lbs then they start complaining. (one of my clients received more than 100 of these 64 lbs boxes) I think his carrier is still on disability.

    USPS has pointed out several times that they don't get anymore money for toting our packages. I really feel sorry for them.

    On the other hand if it were not for USPS flat rate everyone would be paying much more for there balls and such. That's the love / hate part.

    I wouldn't even go as far as to call them whiney or even sissy. The truth is they have people in their employment that can't get a 64LBS box off the flat pavement. Since there regulations say EVERY WORKER should be able to lift 70 LBS this is a problem Duh!. Problem is when you take 64LBS and put it in a medium flat rate box it becomes very dense and heavy to move. The dudes in the PLUSH offices making these OFFICIAL rules should have to bring their lazy asses down and pick a couple up before making it a rule and then giving the job to 120 lbs woman. I kid you not this is the person who usually is in charge of moving our shipments. I will help her load in most cases. I'm 6'2' 255 and they (the boxes) weigh on me after a while. I truly feel sorry for a 120lbs woman who has to do this to feed her family!!!

    I hope someone from USPS is watching.
