FS: Numbski's Balls

Youbetcha. :slight_smile:

Awesome. :slight_smile:

The thing is, several of my last batch were indeed random eBay people buying them, which is fine I guess…I just didn’t expect it!

I need to order more. I never did get more balls ordered before I left, and I’m out now. Takes a week to get more in, so I need to get hopping.

Hmmm i need to figure out what color buttons to get before i grab that so they match. Im thinking the PS-14-K in clear blue.

I’d love to compare for you, but I don’t have those buttons. Actually, I only have Sanwa white and red on hand at the moment. :\

I uploaded higher resolution pics to flickr of all the ones in this recent batch. Perhaps with a higher-resolution image you can do some color matching?

Yeah I need to figure out what I’m actually going to do with the thing :wgrin: I always love the oil-slick look though. Can’t wait to get my hand around your ball :confused:

Hrm. Just don’t ask me to cough. All I ask.

Did you get a chance to finish the rest of the balltop for me?

Edit: Baby blue and pink, although that mirror blue one looks nice so if you want to sub it for the pink one, great. If not, no worries.

Oh geez! I’m an idiot…I’ll get right on that! :\

You were still waiting on a baby blue and what, a pink?

Dangit.

Okay, I’m out of glass balls, more are coming, but it could be end of next week before they come in. :frowning:

zombie - you have my word, I’m not going to screw you out of what’s owed you, please have patience with me. I can’t easily give you what’s on the store unless the auctions end unsold. If that’s the case, I’ll pull what you’ve requested and ship it to you, otherwise you’re on the top of the list when the new stuff comes in.

That said, I’ve ordered a bit more of a variety this time around. Should be 50/50 metalics to irridescents.

Oh, one other thing while I’m thinking about it. Many people made a huge deal about this while I was working on it, and now that I’ve got it going, I’m actually not selling a whole lot. No one is required to buy anything, but am I not getting word out appropriately? I can’t imagine I’m selling too high…some people thought I should be charging $40, $15 covers my time, and it’s flat rate to ship up to 4 balls together, I just need to be made aware.

$15 is a good price for 'em, IMHO. What options are there for those d20 or d30’s?

Basically whatever I can get my paws on. :slight_smile: There are several game shops nearby. That means I have to pay retail, but if there’s enough interest I can order them in bulk. So far I’ve put one up for sale and it’s not sold. I have another person asking for a black primary/white secondary top which I haven’t gotten to yet, and that’s it.

I can take pics of what they have at the shop and if someone wants it I’ll do it. Either that, or you can order one off the net and have it shipped to me, then I’ll convert it.

No worries on my stuff, I don’t need it anytime soon, just whenever is fine.

FYI - only one of my recent batch has actually sold. All 5 of them have auctions expiring this weekend. That includes the chrome one I’ve posted, 2 emeralds, a clear one, and a purple with blue highlights.

Bump. :frowning:

Starting to think this round isn’t going to sell.

Got mine in today, it’s totally awesome. Buy this man’s balls, people!

:sweat:

Feel free to kick in pictures, if you can of course. :slight_smile:

Hey, numbski. What’s the weight like on your balltops? Does it seem to throw off the sensitivity of the stick or anything? If the weight is comparable to the existing ball tops, I’ll buy at least one off you, because I hate to see a man try to service the community with a unique product and then not have them sell. I’m sure I’ll find a use for one or two of 'em, as long as they don’t hamper my already lackluster execution.

Hey numbski. I wasn’t interested in the balltops when you first started making them, but I always thought they were a nice project. If you can update your current stock and have pictures I might buy one off you. Good luck with sales.

Inventory is the same as on the first page. The Meteor top is sold. I have 2xEmerald, a purple glass with blue highlights, and a blue glass with mirror finish.

The pictures are on my flickr page, listed in my signature.

The ball tops are heavier, but not drastically so. A glass top weighs almost exactly 2 oz ( 1 7/8 oz) and a Seimitsu bubble ball top weighs 1 1/8 oz. You could say it’s twice as heavy to approximate. Still not terribly heavy. Ask any of the guys here who have bought, it doesn’t throw your ability to play off at all. Funny thing is, I weighed my d20 top and it’s 1 1/8oz too. :slight_smile: Wooden balltop after stain and polyurethane is only 3/4oz.
