    Default decent price for Pachinko balls

    Is 50.00 dollars including shipping a decent price for 1000 balls?

    Depends on how bad you need them. If you're not in a hurry, Slotsusa usually runs some 20 auctions for balls all ending at the same time. This is wonderful for the pachinko ball buyer as everyone is forced to focus on just one of those auctions and prices stay down. I've paid $32 and $28 shipped for 1000. Others have paid less.

    Of course the cheapest way to get pachinko balls is to buy a machine from Slotusa. Generally there is going to be something wrong with the sale somewhere, shipping, cleaning or operation, something is going to be wrong. They are infamous for sending you out another 1000 balls to satisfy you and get a decent feedback.

    If you're needing them now then DGI or (ebay name) pachilot777 sells 1000 for $38 and change with $15 for shipping. While these are higher than mentioned, they are already clean and often Slotusa balls will need to be washed as the rusty bag they come in doesn't exactly give you a warm fuzzy.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    Here is the best price I have found, clean, rust free, shiny.

    AUTHENTIC ENGRAVED PACHINKO BALLS

    Sorry the business is closed, and will be missed

    Balls are .04 each. There are 4000 per case.
    So each case is $160.00 + $21.00 *Freight
    (that shipping cost was to me, yours might very +/-)

    I don't need them today. I am restoring an old Nishijin and trying to verify if it is working with 8 balls sucks.
    Thanks for the info!!

    With that older shooter, I would look under Pachinko in a general search on ebay, you can get 100 ball for around 10 bucks. that should be all you need to run that old beaner, they are fun.
