CPC Mold & Color Sample Set (1 Viewer)

Sooooooooooo this CPC sampler is back and available again.

I had this set available several years ago - long story short, it was "lost" while some work was being done at my house. :(:tdown: Anyways, it's been rebuilt/reassembled and now available for "rent" again. Details, shipping costs and the deposit detail have been updated in the OP.

NOTE - right now I have shuffle stacks of all the CPC molds available EXCEPT elephant & crown and the 44mm scroll mold. Those are due to be pressed at CPC in the coming months, once they come in I'll post an update. So if you're considering one of those, hold off for now.
 
Is the sampler currently available for rent?

Yes it is. Please note the rules for borrowing (get to posting a bit and shoot me a pm in a month ;) )

Will do, just wanted to make sure this was still an option before I dumped ~$100 into samples direct from CPC. Thanks!
 
Has anyone ever weighed each mold, just wondering about differences ?
 
Just found this post. What a great contribution to the community. Wish I’d seen it before I spent a bunch of money on a much less comprehensive set. Thanks for making this available.
 
I’m toying around with the idea of building a custom set. Is this sample set still an option? If so, I’m interested.

Sorry, I've been away on vacation (and off the grid), shoot me a PM tomorrow and we can chat some more (the sample is available).
 
Any chance this is still available?

was about to order some samples off their website and decided to check here first.
 
I'm no longer able to update the OP, but with the recent news from CPC, I have several local folks lined up to use the sample set. It likely will be "out" for the next few months.

Depending on what happens with the ownership transition, if I can no longer replace the mold samples if it's lost or damaged, I may be discontinuing sending it out. We'll see what happens, TBD.

No worries. It was very generous of you to lend it out while you could.
 
Hey what a great community resource - is there a setup for people in Europe like this? I saw the earlier @Mr Hanky post, but he was last seen 2021…
 
@Irish I drive through NJ somewhat frequently, is it possible I could pick it up and hand you the deposit in person? Thanks for offering this to the community

Update - the sample set is currently: OUT

Samples, samples, samples!

I have the following CPC Sample Set available to "rent" as a package. It includes a color sample, small shuffle stacks of each mold, and a handful of inlayed custom chips from various molds, as inlayed chips can feel slightly different than blanks.

COLOR SAMPLE (38 chips)
One full 38 plain color sample set on the "A-Crest" mold with all the current CPC colors:

Note that CPC has samples of most everything noted above available for purchase, so if you'd like to get samples to keep, please check in directly with them, it will probably run you ~$350+ and is subject to availability. The intent of this offering is to give folks within our chip community looking to purchase a custom CPC set a chance to get their hands on a set of samples, complete with half barrels of chips to get a feel for each mold, at a minimal price (cost of shipping both ways).

Here's how it works:
  • The cost to rent the sample set is $18 plus a refundable** $385 deposit, paid via paypal friends & family. This is the cost of shipping with insurance via USPS.
  • Once payment is received, I'll ship the full sample set to you via USPS flat rate padded envelope with insurance.
  • You keep the sample set for up to 4 weeks, then mail the complete sample set back (you pay the return shipping).
  • As long as the complete sample set is returned (undamaged) in a timely fashion, I then send you back your $385 deposit via paypal friends & family.
**The details:
  • The color samples are numbered with a black permanent marker on one side – the key is noted in the OP of this thread
  • Do NOT shuffle the color sample chips or the inlayed chips, this will help to keep them clean and easily distinguishable
  • You may shuffle and handle the mold samples to get a feel for each mold, I just ask you do so with consideration for the next person getting the samples. The intent is for you to get a feel for the mold, not spend 8 hours a day for 4 weeks shuffling them at your desk at work while eating a cheesesteak with fries... without a napkin...
  • ALL 221 chips must be returned in the same condition for you to receive your deposit back. Partial refunds will not be given if one chip is missing - the value of this set to the community (and me) is that it's a complete sample set. The mold samples are white so I understand they're going to get a little dirty, but if there is caked on dirt from you shuffling them, please give them a quick cleaning before returning them (no oxi-clean!!).
  • The chips will be shipped in special wooden box (see below) with foam padding, in a double padded flat rate envelope with a USPS tracking number and insurance. At a minimum, the sample set should be mailed back the same way or better, in the sample box they came in. The box was built to fit into a double padded flat rate envelope. I would also recommend adding insurance to the package on the way back; if the sample is damaged or lost in the mail, your deposit will not be refunded. UPS or Fed Ex is acceptable if you prefer those options.
  • At the moment this is limited to the continental US ONLY. Canada may be a possibility (PM me if you have further details on shipping) but I would imagine that shipping costs overseas would make this cost prohibitive.
  • This offer is valid to all PCF members with at least 20 posts who have been active for at least one month.

As long as you adhere to the above, your total out of pocket cost should be around $30. Again, the intent here is to offer a more comprehensive set of samples than just a color sample and a single set of mold samples, at the cost of shipping. I'm not making any money off this and the deposit is only in place to cover the potential of someone "forgetting" to return the set or just part of the set.

Feel free to ask any questions here or shoot me a PM.

See post #46 above. I'm still weighing what to do with this with the ownership change, but right now leaning towards holding off on sending it out. At a bare minimum though, I would recommend getting a newer color sample. The one I have is getting up there in age and there have definitely been slight changes to some of the colors over the years.
