Sold A Herd of Unicorns (1 Viewer)

Note about international shipping: In a previous life, I felt like I didn't want to say CONUS only in my ads. Everyone wants chips and shipping internationally can't be that hard, right? In the time of covid, however, I don't feel comfortable spending any more time at the post office than I have to. For now, no international orders please. If you have someone stateside who can re-ship, I'm happy to work with you to get the deal done.

Pre-sale Count: 3738
Pricing:
- 1-299 chips: $0.14/chip $0.12/chip + shipping
- 300-499 chips: $0.12/chip $0.10/chip + shipping
- 500+ chips: $0.10/chip $0.08/chip + shipping
BIN: If some crazy wants to buy them all, I'll sell for $0.07/chip + shipping If you want them all, just PM me and we'll figure it out.
Order preference: Higher quantity orders win out over lower quantity. I'll do my best to respect dibs, but only to a point. I'd like to get these sold.

Some notes:
- There's quite a bit of variation here. Some are razor sharp and very plasticy. Some I would have sworn were clay. Some have stamps. Some are clean, and some are very dirty.
- To my knowledge, despite feel, they're all plastic.
- These will all mill well, which was my plan. They'll also accept a hot stamp.

Remaining quantities. Please see next post for more description of each chip.

Here's some photos. If there's something you'd like to see a bit closer, feel free to ask. No guarantee that they're all even represented here, but I've tried my best.

I burned some of these, including the ones that were very clearly plastic. None dropped at all. Some burned really dirty and smelled like burning plastic. Some others smoldered more and almost smelled good.

Here is the previously mentioned question and answers that were on thechipboard.com site regarding this topic.

Sold a couple racks of these a few years ago. I could have sworn they were clay. Even had flea bites. Very light, about 7g. Came from here....

Long legs, loopy tail, no injection pip, slight color variation. Again, can't say they're clay for sure, but these are ones that fall much closer to the clay end of the spectrum than the plastic.

Anybody here willing to re-ship a rack of these internationally for me? I have a buyer who wants a rack, but I'm not currently willing to go the international route. PM me if you're up for it.

I'll also put a note in the original post.

So what's everyone doing with these that buys them?

I'm going to be using them for D&D gold markers. My party is notoriously bad at keeping track of their gold, I like handing things out to reel in the less involved players (our wives lol), and I won't mind them holding onto them between sessions

I’m keeping them and pretending they’re clay.

Has anyone milled these for a label? How did they turn out? Any pics?

I milled one as a tester and it turned out fine. Didn't have any labels to drop in, though.

 

[GetUrShineBox]

I kind of regret not getting some of these earlier.
Would love some pics of final results once you guys do something cool with them.

 

[Davism72]

Bump. Still have some stuff left, here.

 

[Davism72]

Bump. Updated the inventory after a sale fell through. Some whites back on the table.

 

[Davism72]

Someone please buy these. Offers will be considered. I could be convinced to sell them all for cheap.

Most of this mold are definitely plastic. That being said there are some that ae definitely not. at my request @AfterTheFact set one he had on fire that was plastic and the plastic dripped as you would expect. The ones I had found listed in the above story were not plastic. When we tried to burn it, the video showed and entirely different reaction and they did not really burn . When we presented David Spragg from the chip board that info, he did some digging and did say that one of the manufacturers did use this mold for a very short time trying to get into the clay chip market. I will see if I can find that response in some old archives.

There have been three different versions of unicorn mold chips.

John Kendall, former General Manager of Burt Co., purchased the Burt assets and used them to produce compression clay unicorn mold chips.

When Kendall started Chipco International (and sold the old Burt assets to Jim Blanchard (who started ASM -- Atlantic Standard Molding), he converted the unicorn mold and began manufacturing injection-molded plastic unicorn mold chips, along with ceramic chips.

Once Chipco was disolved, the Game-On Chip Company (GOCC, ran by former Chipco employees) began producing similar ceramics and also plastic injection-molded unicorn chips.

Anyone who wants these, feel free to reach out. I'll go lower on the price. Just let me know what you want. Otherwise, they're destined for the trash.
