Extremely cheap soccer balls

We just purchased a bunch of soccer balls from the Spaulding Factory outlet in Chicopee, MA. We only paid $2.50 each - that is not a typo. Apparently they are left over from some sort of promotion. Here is the info I have:

The Spalding Factory Outlet, 521 Meadow Street, Chicopee, MA 01013
(1.413.322.2056) has 3,000 #5 soccer balls available at a cost of $2.50 per
ball. These are stitched balls manufactured in Pakistan and have latex
bladders. They are 28 grams heavier than the BOM Puma ball and are not
guaranteed to conform to the International Performance Specifications but
appear to be a low cost alternative which is readily available. The inflation nipple is not
recessed as well as the BOM ball and the surface finish is slightly
smoother. Please use your own judgement whether these balls will meet your
needs.

Spauding told us they would ship just about anywhere.

I've attched a picture of the ball.

Good Luck!
