Buckyballs are JUNK!

I purchased two sets of buckyballs and after a couple months the silver coating started to flake off. This results in metal flakes and black "powder" all over your hands. Buyer beware.

To address claims that I misused them:

They were heavily used by guests to my home. The method by which I squeezed them in my hand was only to demonstrate how the residue rubbed off. This does not demonstrate normal use. Also, I have friends and family with the same problem after heavy use. So this is not an isolated incident.

Even if Bucky balls where off they are just like any other toy. Quit trying to get attention with your retarded video

@devouryourdinner

I did it as more informative than anything. No attention desired, didn't expect this amount of views. Thanks!

Thank you. I always strive to articulate my English and use correct grammar. You obviously have other values. Also, I assume you were referring to Harvard University as opposed to "Hartford" since it's a well known prestigious school.

buckyballs are 100% neodymium magnets, there is no graphite

@Voesyy

Very true.

@myersderrick The flakes are a health hazard? Nevermind the flakes, worry about the child eating the balls, and them attaching to each other with their insides between... That's a health hazard. :)
