Where to buy a few R4A ball bearings online?

Sep 17, 2012 3 Replies

I'm thinking no more than three dollars each for R4A ball bearings,



1/4 inch inner diameter and 3/4 inch outer diameter. Looks like prices range somewhere from about $1.50 to $10+ (US).

Why so much difference in price?



Thanks.

Several different quality levels are available, but you're probably looking more at sourcing (US-made v. imports), wholesale/retail levels, and gouge factor. Some people just have to triple the price to get the percentage they want. (probably just another Right Wing Conspiracy, wot?)

If you buy 100K lots, you probably get the low price, onesies cost more. Don't get me started on imports vs. domestic.
