Unfortunately the Deal Is now Dead

Buckyballs | Buckycubes | The Amazing Magnetic Desktoy You Can't Put Down

There is currently a sale, all items for $5. Shipping is $5.95 in the US.

This is the best deal I have ever seen for these... a wonderful little stress toy, and they make for nice little gifts.

Edit: Website seems to be down... too much traffic, but they will most likely keep the deal alive for longer, at least according to email I just received from their support.

Re: Buckyballs (Desk Magnet Toys) Sale

These things are a BLAST. I picked up 2 sets while at the Mall of America once for 20 bucks each and they were so much fun. Who knows where they went though.. I might just have to order some. Nice find :beer:

Are you sure that these are those with the 5mm spheric diameter?

Yup...

Buckyballs are exactly 5mm each.

I bought a bunch of these... I love to play with them while watching TV, or while I'm on a call. They also make for fantastic little gifts.

I wish they were a bit stronger in terms of magnetism ( love strong magnets), but aside from that, they are great.

Re: Buckyballs (Desk Magnet Toys) Sale

I saw some guy on slickdeals said he ordered 100k worth of them ( doubt it) but a few thousand... why not LOL! :D

I really didn't want to spend money on anything right now, but this deal is too good to pass up. Beats the lower quality prices on ebay.

I'm tempted to order ~5k for $205.95... leave it in living room on table as a decoration.

The ones I have, and the ones I did order though... I should have at least a 1-2 thousand:p

Re: Buckyballs (Desk Magnet Toys) Sale

:crackup: I should ask these guys for a commission. Offer them to take payment in magnets :p

Btw, I haven't tried, but should work... the cubes can be used as spacers:p

Re: Buckyballs (Desk Magnet Toys) Sale

GOOD QUESTION!

Idk... time to email support I guess.

It would take 10 more sets for me to have 5000 balls! :p

Edit: Just emailed them. We'll see what they say.

Re: Buckyballs (Desk Magnet Toys) Sale

That is freaking awesome.

I have a few of those larger ones. Nowhere near those amounts though.

Haven't heard back from them either yet... placed another order... emailed them asking to combine the two and refund the shipping.

Oh the things I would do if I won the lottery lol :p
