    Default Ebay gold pachi balls arrived

    Well My long awaited gold pachi balls came yesterday. All in all a good buy I feel. My only complaint is the pictures they have are kind of misleading since the balls I got looked no where near as nice as the ones in the pictures (I know it's ebay lol). I did get the right amount and most are in good shape (some look pretty dirty or worn) the gold tones vary a lot so it looks kinda neat when they are in the pay out tray. So if you are looking for balls like the pictures I would pass but if you can get a good price on them I say go for it. I was not going to be too picky since I just needed some balls so my kids could play the machines.

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    I have bought quite a few from the lady in CA. She's very nice, but I do have to run them through the polisher for a good 18-24 hours to shine them up.
    Do you know how many directions 500 steel balls can go on a tile floor...

    Seller is from CA., seller ID is grovertreasures on ebay. Here is an auction for the same item in a different amount. Notice how nice they look. Mine look more like they spent a few years in a parlor then bagged up for me. Don't get me wrong I am happy considering the price I paid vs. what they are selling for in the recent auctions. I just wanted some pachi balls, did not really care about color just play ability for now. Once I get them all cleaned up and ready for the house I will be a little more picky about the condition of what rolls around inside them. I was just a little disappointed considering the pictures I was show compared to what I received and just wanted to let you fellow pachi owners so you are aware before purchase. I paid $27 with shipping for 500 balls. Compared to other auctions I was watching that seemed like a fair price. If I am wrong please let me know lol, then I may complain to the seller.

    Nope, that is a good price for the gold ones. I think I paid closer to $32-33 incl shipping. Just need a tumble with some walnut/corn cob media...
