Hey guys just curious as to when you buy the bearings how many you buy at a time. 1000? or 10000?

Maybe a picture of what they are shipped to you in?

I'd love to see a picture of that too!

I'm always getting new bearings "just in case". I find I obsess over my bearing health sometimes, but it gives me something to tinker with.

Strangely, since the V4M came out, I haven't been cleaning my bearing stash as often. I used to use YYJ Thin Lube, but it never quite satisfied my obsessive mentality.

Bearings generally come in a tube of 50. When you get 500 you get 10 tubes. I tried to upload a picture but it just keeps asking if I like cheese?

just say yes or no to the question. It's just an anti-spam filter.

When used to work at the skate board shop, we used to get bearings in bulk and they would come in clear canisters like film cans but the size of the bearings. We'd sometimes get them in a tray as well. Those were only for the bulk non-name brand / pre-packaged brand of bearings.

Like this

I'm not sure about smaller bearings like the 10 balls. I've seen similar ones come in baggies, others in a plastic closing box, some in tubes. Just depends on where they come from I suppose.
