used roller ball bearings - the complete thing . not just a steel ball. Size around 20 - 30mm hole in the middle. I need around 16 to 20 of them all the same size. Needed for some DIY Machinery moving skate/dolly thingies.

One imagines that you would have to fluke some sort of hoarder as there is usually only one place that used/stuffed bearing wind up, and that's in the rubbish.

Yeah.Every neighbourhood seems to have at least one eccentric bloke, with an oil soaked property full of his "treasures".

try a local industrial rewinder, Electric mtr of around 25-50 kw should have that sort of size, they are normally one size bigger on the driven end but if they are cleaning a couple of moters a week their steel scrap bin might help. Our local recycle centre had old shopping trolleys for a fiver each. I got 4 of them, wish i grabbed the lot now. The 4V and auto is sitting on a cut down one but I widened an old trolley jackfor the heavy Ram mtr and box.
