    Yo dudes! I need your help. I'm looking to bulk order a TON of Kendamas to just have on stock to give away at random to people who are interested. I'm trying to build more Kendama community here in my small town and I just love giving them away to people who try mine out.

    My question is, where have you seen the best deals? Doesn't really need to be anything super nice as it'd just be a starter setup for most people and some people would never touch it again.

    I was eyeing the KenCo 40 pack (comes out to $4.98 per dama) which seems to be the best deal I've found. I've looked on AliExpress too and their Kendamas are around the same price but the quality seems subpar. Any other tips for bulk buying these to give away?

    I would contact companies like Kendama USA, Sweets, Deal With It or Sol to see what about their wholesale pricing (I'm sure that you'll need a wholesale license).

    I'm in the same boat. I think that kenco deal is the best I've seen so far without a wholesale licencse.

    Exactly true from my experience. Unless youre willing to get like 100 from a manufacturer.

    Sorry to drag this out from the grave, but i work at an after school program over the summer, so when i go back home college to work there, I would love to swoop a ton of cheap, but durable kendamas to teach all the little kiddos. i would probably be using my own money, and at the end of the summer end up giving them away to whatever festivals or even just the kids that i taught as prizes. I don't necessarily have the money right now in order to buy them, so they would still need to be for sale like a month and a half from now. Thanks in advance!

    And what specifications are you looking for (like price, new/used, paint/natty)?

    I mean the dream would be unused, around 5$ per Dama, and having a variety of slick/sticky/natty. But of course I'm willing to go for anything that could take a beating over an entire summer. I would really love to stay at the 5$ price point. Used kendama would probably be easier to fit into this mound.

    TLDR:
    5$
    Used (or new) as long as it fits the 5$
    Any paint/natty/color-way

    Damn, I got a few used damas I'd let go of for 5 each no problem but only a few, however I do also have some kenco natties id let go of for 7$ each. Start a conversation with me if interested.

    The sketchy "kendamaco" big cartel offshoot that @htimSxelA has shown to be not directly related to kendamaco is selling 6 new for 30$. I would swoop it, but i would rather not promote what seems to be a decent scam, even if they would pull through.
