Board Gamers Poker Chip Interest Thread (4 Viewers)

Wow yes, it apparently did. Might have run afoul of the "selling stuff" rules.

Ack, there were about 4k in chips ordered there before it got nuked

 

[FDLmold]

The rules for selling here and selling there are quite different.

 

[galfridus]

I added a thread in the Complaints forum over there - there was a lot of good stuff in that thread, it would be nice to get that back even if the ordering stuff goes away.

It must have been nuked very quickly.

 

[namsupak]

what is the feel going to be most like?

 

[galfridus]

@Apache, I'm guessing you are already talking to the BGG people, but if not or if you need help, I'm sure there are people here who could assist. (I'm one of them I suppose.)

 

[Velvet 7hunder]

I wrote a complaint on BGG as well.

I had a similar thread on Board Game Geek but they kicked me off. I guess this is not allowed their site.

Separate ordering question (sorry for all the posts!):

I'm planning on using blank .25s and 25s for 2s and 200s. Will there be any other chips produced with this mold (solids, etc.)? I have a couple joke denominations I'd like to do (but don't require).

Anyway of getting the shipping down, pooling shipping and so on.

If you ship to Australia and use a KS fulfillment I have a feeling to can be gotten down a lot.

 

[pkrchp]

I have 4 people at hand who are interested in a German group buy and I may be able to interest even more if I’d know more about shipping terms. I suspect 3000 would be possible, maybe even more, if you are able to ship that many in one package. (Cp. question in interest thread.)

Yes. It will cost around $.10 each chip.

If it’s just a flat fee of $.10 per chip, there’s no incentive to organize a group buy (for more than 850 chips).
A 70 lbs (~31.75 kg) parcel to Germany (Priority Mail International) should cost $199.85 + ~$20 insurance (> $500 value) according to USPS. Would you be able to use this and can you confirm this price? How many chips could you ship with one 70 lbs parcel?

No solids will be offered at this time. A no cash value label might be created.

Yes a 70 pound package will cost around $200 plus insurance. 70 pounds equals around 3500 chips.

 

[StormCrow]

The alternate labels I'd be interested in would be a light blue $1 to replace the $10 and maybe a yellow $20 to replace the $1000. I'd love to get a feel for how the yellow looks in a stack though, I'm a little concerned by the ratio of edge spot to base color there.

 

[BGBird]

Thanks for putting this together, I think the chips look great. I'm putting my pre-order amount on the other thread.

If we purchase blanks and labels separately will the labels just be black and white or could we specify a color chip to match? Like StormCrow mentioned, I think there would be some interest in at least light blue 10, yellow 20 and orange 2,000 labels.

Also, any rough cost for the labels? Thanks!

 

[Roquefort]

Can we order an arbitrary quantity of each denomination, or they only come in rolls of 25, or?..

 

[BGBird]

some interest in at least light blue 10, yellow 20 and orange 2,000 labels.

Meant to say interest in light blue 1's.

 

[erictheprune]

Agreed, yellow is preferred

The standard for yellow is 2 or 2000. Grey is the standard for 20s (which are unusual for poker) and I'd rather stay with that. I'd be in for a set of 300 if yellow 2s were available.

 

[OnlyHereFor18xxChips]

Those would be incredibly tempting for me as well. Like that 10 a lot but only with the colored background sticker.

 

[jtchips]

Couple quick questions (sorry if I missed the answers):
1) Will the chips come prelabeled or will I have to apply the labels?
2) For a specific color/denomination, are there minimum amounts? Are they sold in set amounts (20 chips, 25 chips, or something like that) or can I buy any number of a given color/denomination?

Thanks.

 

[FDLmold]

Chips are pre labeled. If you buy blanks and other labels, those you have to do yourself. Somebody will chime in if I am incorrect.
Usually you have to buy china clays in multiples of 25. They are manufactured 25-at-a-time and come 25 in each plastic sleeve.

 

[Hobie]

It would be great if there would be options for some of the color combinations...

Such as...

Yellow 20 label for the yellow chips
Grey 1000 label for the grey chips.
Also, some prefer 2's of some color

Would this sort of mix-n-match be a possibility?

 

[DoubleEagle]

Found this breakdown for Monopoly in another thread. Will this work OK?

25 - $1
25 - $5
50 - $25
50 - $100
50 - $500

25 - $5
50 - $25
50 - $100

Old Monopoly sets come with the following:
40x $1
40x $5
40x $10
50x $20
30x $50
20x $100
20x $500

New sets come with 30 of each denomination but I've never played this.

Personally, I would do the following if limited to ordering in multiples of 25:
50x $1
50x $5
50x $20
50x $100
25x $500 (or 50x for round numbers)

For a slightly larger bank than the old sets. Starting stack of 5/7/3/4/2.

If not limited to multiples of 25 then I would buy the following 200 chip set:
40x $1
50x $5
50x $20
40x $100
20x $500

Around $.12 each.

Rolls of 25 only.

New user coming over from BGG here. These chips look awesome!

Two questions (sorry if they've already been answered):

1) How much does shipping cost in general for 400 chips? Or to 80124 specifically?
2) These chips should be treated as a one-time purchase, correct? These won't be available in the future if we want more?
