    Default Pachinko Balls on Ebay

    Who is scarfing up all of the Pachinko Balls on Ebay?

    People are going WILD! Big Bucks to be made ! Over 4 cents a ball is Too much!

    I am having a hard time supplying new machines without spending an arm and a leg for silver balls. What's up?

    Must be like the Stock Market. Higher the demand, higher the price.

    Bummer.. I need another two or three thousand myself!

    I guess I'll have to wait for the market to have Bear Balls.

    Ha... dang I'm funny!

    I have noticed that the demand comes in waves. There are times I have tried to purchase a few thousand balls and it seems like I continually get outbid. Other times I am the only bidder. It's a lot like fishing - some days you come home with nothing, other days you get plenty.

    Have patience and you will receive your reward.

    P.S. - I personally would never pay more than 4.5 cents per ball after shipping. I almost always find them for less.

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

    I've noticed the same thing.

    I have to admit, I've become part of the "problem" a couple of times because I really wanted them and paid more than I should have by bidding too high on eBay auctions.

    don't forget metal prices have gone up too

    the u.s. mint is now losing money on every cent or nickle they make!!

    they do make it up on the dime and quarter :

    There was an E-Bay seller I made a BUNCH of Auction Purchases from awhile back. He e-mailed me stating that if I wanted to "BUY in BULK" he would cut me a "Good Deal". He did. Let me do some research, Find out what I wound up paying per 1000 Spheres, Find him, contact him and see what he has to offer now.

    P.S.

    Hey NIT,

    Why don't you get that seller to join pachitalk and peddle his balls here in 'our' auction! He would have a very targeted market and help PachiTalk too! Probably a lot cheaper that eBay!
