    Default Need Spheres ?

    Pachinko balls 20 million for only 170,000 yen. Very nice price per ball.

    that is 0.0017 of a yen per ball
    Like 200 ball for a penny.

    That is a lot of balls but, it doesn't look like 20 million.

    100 balls are 1.25 pounds

    so

    2,500,000 pounds or 1,250 tons for 20,000,000 balls

    They keep on hand a meir 600,000 balls

    More like 250,000lbs (20,000,000 divided by 100 times 1.25)

    125 tons

    I am a buzz kill!

    Currently $1,634.62

    0.0085 yen per ball ($0.0081)

    123+ to the penny

    12,345+ to the dollar

    I guess the big crack on the floor wasn't there until they put all those trays there.

    that tray holds around 2,500 balls, even if you figuired 20 trays per tote that would be 50,000 each tote times 34 totes.

    that comes up to 1,700,000.

    but, I don't think each tote has 50,000 balls.

    thats Polish math

    Maby I can pull a few strings and find a friend of a friend of a friend in the military doing a training hop from Japan to the States in a C-5 Galaxy Star Lifter to transport them for us.

    I'm sure they could fit them in and carry the weight.

    Imagine if they were rusty. It would take 100 years to tumble them all clean. One hidden benefit, you wouldn't have to spring for a ball lifter if you bought these. Just make a giant hopper...you could play for a looooong time and never have to refill.

    Now 30,000,000! Only 255,000Y (same price per ball)

    375,000lbs
    187.5 tons
    Would take at least 7 tractor trailers to deliver them all in the US!
