    Hey Pinsiders,

    Have u been boring standard #6-32/#8-32 nylon lock nuts we use on our games.

    See what a color lock nut can bring to u and why more and more fellow Pinsiders are taking them.
    1. Bright&Even Color With Good Appearance
    2. ANSI Standard Thread Type Fits For Various Playfields like Starwar, Ghost, Wira etc.
    3. Made From High Precision CNC Machining With Perfect Outline And Fine Chamfer
    4. Excellent Nylon Circle With Good Quality And Long Endurance.

    Additionally, there is a possibility that the white nylon could be color matched to the nut if that's something people were interested in.

    Want to shine ur lovely machine? Get them now ↓↓↓1 (resized).jpg1 (resized).jpg

    Quoted from tamoore:

    Oh, no. I've got my own nuts. I like nuts a bit less flashy, myself. If you get joy by dipping your nuts in different colors, by all means, please do!

    yeah, it depends. anyway i will try it to shine my machines.

    Quoted from Mitch:

    Who doesn't love dipping their nuts in different colors and posting pictures of them online.
    I wonder how smooth his nuts are.

    maybe u can try some on ebay and see how they work.

    #19 4 years ago
    Quoted from tamoore:

    They look pretty shiny, so I'm guessing they're pretty smooth.

    i agree with u. its charmfer looks more elegant than others.

    Quoted from Mitch:

    What games do you own? Where do you live?
    Do you like placing your nuts on all your machines?

    allright, i'm from Shenzhen, china. sure we do not put nuts on all machines. i now own the typical Starwar and Ghost. If i find anything old interesting ones from Stern or Bally, i will possibly buy them.

    Quoted from EricHadley:

    Great now we’re going to need a colorpuke nut thread so go along with the colorpuke led thread

    yes, u may try it. we buy them from ebay and the pics are also shared by other fellows who take them.

    Quoted from Mitch:

    I'm not sure how my wife would feel about me giving your nuts a chance.

    u can have a try. they also provide mix color for a package. so if u need the 10/20 pcs in different colors, they can also do it for u.

    #34 4 years ago
    Quoted from tamoore:

    Here's a new thread idea. I think this will translate well to Pinside. Try it out.
    "Tea-bag your playfield with my colored nuts".
    I bet you get a lot of orders...
    My 2 cents.

    Thank u very much Tam! We have been dealing them on ebay for some years and i recently heard about Pinside which is a paradise for us Pinballers.

    #35 4 years ago
    Quoted from Mitch:

    Wow he might take offence to you calling his nuts loose. I mean maybe on a really hot day they might be, but get them cold and I bet they tighten right back up.

    Hi Mitch, we've been dealing on ebay for some years and recently get here. u can find how customers say about us on ebay. anyway, i'm so glad to meet u guys and are happy to find such a paradise for Pinsiders. I personally love pinball games so much.

    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    wackybrakke you’ve downvoted him 10 times then show a pic that has him with 11 down votes, why all the hate? Where did you think he got then downvotes from. In my opinion it doesn’t look good on you.
    I don’t mind the look of these nuts, although I doubt I’ll get them. I do t understand why your jumping on the hate train.
    If you don’t like leds that’s ok, but there’s no need to show your hate, that doesn’t add anything positive to the conversation. There’s no need to start a rainbow puke thread to rip on these colored nuts.
    I don’t think the OP is looking to scam anyone, just looking to sell their nuts. Calm down with the hate.
    makeusgreater your eBay listing doesn’t ship to Canada. Just for your Information.

    Hi Lucky, it's ok. We are new here and happy to know u. Before getting here, we've dealing on ebay for several years and there are also some firm customers from canada who get the nuts on our shop. u just need to leave a message of our actual address after placing the order or before that. we can ship to Canada. no worry.

    Quoted from Mudflaps:

    Tamoore is right. Here are some other suggestions that may translate well to American pinball fans:
    - Behold the glory of my nuts
    - Three nuts are better than two
    - My nuts are beautiful for looking, but please don’t touch
    - Nuts for playing make every time special
    I recommend starting a new thread with each suggestion to increase your sales.

    I'm a US TV fans. Certainly i know what u mean by T-bag. Thank u for ur kind suggestion. What a genius idea and i think u must be a good seller in ur field

    #41 4 years ago
    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    English is obviously not his first language. I wouldn’t coheres Someone into using poor American slang to promote their product.
    I doubt the OP realizes that “tea-bagging” is not a complement

    never mind. it's meaningless to argue with someone who only want to argue and prove he is right. i'm here not just because of we are a ebay seller but
    i personally loves Pinball. I like to surf various forums in my country as well as English forums. it's a funny thing for me. just enjoy it and ignore those prejudice.

    #46 4 years ago
    Quoted from tamoore:

    Ok, I'm done. I have co-workers in Shenzhen. It seems like a great city.
    Good luck with your product. Take the constructive parts of this thread and learn to market better. If you have a decent product, it'll catch on and sell itself. Pinball people love spending money on color stuff.

    Yes, shenzhen is the 1st innovative and 3rd strongest international city here in china. thank u for the suggestion Tam. Will do our best to develop color parts for pinballers. We enter into this filed 3 years ago and make color aluminum parts for people around the world. i agree with u that good products sell itself and it sells faster when we bring them more audience.

    #49 4 years ago
    Quoted from EricHadley:

    He’s just spamming a bunch of threads and the nuts don’t even fit right as you can see in his pictures he stole from another thread. Spam at its best.

    what i'm going to tell u is that here are only one source of such pinball nuts in US market. that's from us! we just have so many resellers there in ur country. i didn't say that the pics are from us. but we are 100% sure that the nuts in the pics are from us. that's enough. what the links shows is a hex nut and we also have stock for flange nut which has not been shown on the link. it doesn't not mean we don't have it. according to our sells record, non flange sell better and are more popular among pinballers.

    Quoted from ronlisa:

    This thread is enough to drive a person nuts!

    hah~ no worry. i'm still alive

    #52 4 years ago
    Quoted from tamoore:

    They look pretty shiny, so I'm guessing they're pretty smooth.

    Quoted from j_m_:

    WackyBrakke may have come off abrasive, but he's correct. if you look at makeusgreater's profile, he's created this thread and then posted the same ebay link to his product in no less than 10 other threads this morning.
    and while he may be a pinball fan, that's no way to make a first impression. I downvoted him as well in a few of the threads due to the same fact (and reported it to robin

    sincerely apologize if it disturbs u. i'm new in this forum and were just so excited to find the pinball paradise. i will behave myself and be not so excited in future. i'd like to communicate with people with the same interests.

    #57 4 years ago
    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    That’s a great attitude for someone new here, these guys can be vicious to new people. If you’ve got thick skin, you’ll fit in well.

    hah, sure. we should never take the right for people to talk. but we can hold the right to agree with it or not. will grow as stronger as u here.

    #60 4 years ago
    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    All true.
    But this isn’t the first time that new member has spammed multiple threads out of excitement, and the OP (original poster) had apologized immediately.
    And
    If the OP is in fact the manufacturer of these nuts and not just an American reseller, then if you have a problem with the nuts not fitting properly, this would be the right place to try and get that fixed.

    yeah, Just feel free to ask for any more details or problems u meet in application.

    Quoted from wolffcub:

    if it was me I would use these. Have no fear! you can now walk away from your game and know that plastics will never be stolen again! Just make sure you don't misplace the socket like we all do with the one for our car tires lol.[quoted image]

    Yeah, for anti-theft use, we suggest to take this four hole which is more safer than normal nuts.

    Quoted from newtoit:

    Ive bought these from his ebay account a year ago. As far as I can tell he is the original guy who started selling them and everyone else that sells them are getting them from him.
    He probably caught on to where some of his sales stem from and came here to the source. Aside from his spamming and lack of pinball knowledge I say give him a chance, we can probably get better deals with him here than on ebay.

    It's nice to have u as an old customer and thanks for proving us! Hope the nuts works well for u and just let me know if have any new plan. Discount will surely be provided to u.

    Quoted from PtownPin:

    Nothing wrong with someone trying to market their product...this shit happens all the time on this site....what I don't really understand is why these nuts cost so much, and why it bothers me ? you can purchase these nuts retail (amazon) for $.10/unit, which means the cost is probably half that if not less....I can't imagine anodizing 1000's of nuts in China at time adds much to the cost. If this guy is truly the manufacturer, and these were priced appropriately they would sell 10x more....

    maybe u can make comparison between the 0.1 nut with us. i bet u will find the difference in the working art and surface appearance. ours are made from cnc machining with consideration to every details. of course, it also depend on the qty, the more, the better discount.

    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    I brought in anodized nuts maybe 9 years ago.
    In Metric sizes, then as now, in quantity they cost very little.
    The issue was 10,000 minimum, 100,000 made sense back then to thread to US over Metric.
    I shared them with many current Vendors, and while there were no negatives, the demand was simply not strong enough.
    Pricing is whatever someone is willing to pay, but the time for a small company to handle, process, and ship, is more part of the equation.
    Shipping from China to US, is under $1.00 with packaging, but $3.00 for first class from here.

    u are really professional on this. regarding shipping cost, as u said, what we take is first class which is trackable. we never ship them via the 1$ channel as customers can not track it and there is big possibility to lose the package. it will bother both sides.

    #129 4 years ago
    Quoted from PtownPin:

    your margins on this product must be great....I wish u the best of luck, but your pricing is still out of whack....I realize u pay the shipping, but $.50-.70 per unit is really high ....

    actually, it only cost u under 0.5 including shipping when u buy 20 pcs or more. and the more qty, the better discount u will get. u can make a comparison to normal nuts and you'll see the difference on every details.

    Quoted from KozMckPinball:

    I bought some colored anodized lock nuts from Mezel Mods more than a year ago. Not sure if they carry them anymore. My experience: They look great until you wrench them too much and then look pretty banged up. The similarly colored insert is the only way to go. The supplier was small scaled and I think bailed as the demand was too low. They were expensive, a 20 pack was $14.99, a 10 pack was $7.99. I have them on my MMr and like them.

    Frankly speaking, they also get them from our resellers...
