GROUP BUY IS COMING
This group-buy thread is for GoT-themed poker chips.
Set name: The Iron Bank
Set concept: @stocky
Chip art: J5 design
Manufacturer: Sun-Fly
Type: Ceramic Hybrid, edge-aligned
These will be Sun-Fly's flat (no-mold) ceramic hybrid chips - the chips blanks are a standard ceramic chip with a recess where the label can go. The chip's rim and edge will by dye-sub printed ceramic; the center "inlay" area will be standard print on adhesive labels, applied by Sun-Fly.
The Tourney set has been previously produced on CPC clays (see link above for pr0n.) The cash set has not been produced in clay, but may be produced someday. These ceramics are designed to mimic the spots and colors of the clays. For those who have sample sets from the CPC Tourney set, this Group Buy will be a rare opportunity to have samples with near-identical colors/art produced in both ceramic and pressed-clay form.
The artwork is still being tweaked for Sun-Fly label/rim sizing, and J5 reserves the right adjust imagery when we see prototypes printed for both chips sizes.
All denoms will be available in 39 mm (standard) as well as 43 mm (oversized), provided minimum is met for each.
This group buy is open to any forum member in good standing as of Mar 6, 2017 at 8:57 PM who is off the Waiting List (so, High Hand or better under your forum name.) This is not open to the public, nor to anyone who is purchasing to resell for profit.
Tentative Pricing
Pricing for the chips will be as follows, including everything but re-shipping to individuals:
39mm = 61 cents each; $15.25 per roll
43mm = 64 cents; $16.00 per roll
-- Must order in rolls of 25 --
note: pricing includes manufacturing cost, protoyping-related costs, shipping to US from manufacturer, and artwork fees. Prices will very likely ratchet down over time as we refine the order count and finalize the various costs.
Estimated Shipping
USA SHIPPING via USPS Flat Rate Boxes
The boxes are free but a small handling fee (ranges from 50 cents to $1.50 per box) will be added to help cover the cost of shipping materials such as tape, labels, packing materials, etc.
Base costs:
Small Flat Rate Box = $7.15
Medium Flat Rate Box = $13.60
Large Flat Rate Box = $18.85
International
We will work with you to ship these internationally. You are responsible for prepping and electronically sending any and all necessary additional paperwork to allow shipment to your country; you agree to pay all international shipping expenses and bear all risk for the international shipment.
Sample Sets
We hope to make sample sets available; to be decided. Cost will be determined when we know which chips will be produced, and in what quantities. (Could be anywhere up to a max of 24 chips produced - 12 designs in two sizes.)
-- currently recruiting for a Forum Member in good standing to do sample set packaging/shipping --
Blanks
Blanks may be made available at a cost of roughly 10 cents less per chip ($2.50 less per roll.) Express interest in thread.
How to Buy
Please express firm order interest only in this thread. Please post the rough total of chips you expect to purchase in each of the 39 and 43 mm sizes as soon as possible, even if still refining your exact order - we'll need these numbers to refine the total Group Buy and costs. Specify exact chip count for each denomination you wish to purchase as soon as you can.
Within a few days, I'll begin tracking the order specifics in a publicly-visible Google Sheet and will post a link to it here.
-- insert order tracking sheet link here --
I will be accepting payment via PayPal FF, Venmo, Google Wallet, and Bitcoin.
Timing
After the art is prototyped, finalized, and ready, we will let the ordering run approximately one more week, and then allow one week for payments before the order is cut. I expect collection by roughly month's end. No guarantees on anything. All timing subject to revision - feel free to speculate on when they'll ship and arrive in the US.
