Interest Cards Mold Group Buy - INTEREST ONLY (1 Viewer)

[thinklikevigo]

Awesome, would be interested in 600!

 

[CRAW]

I’m in if shopping to America. Probably 600 chips, if not 1,000 or more if I can talk others into buying with me.

Customs and/or Arias

 

[warewulf]

Hate to be that guy, but has anyone in the US agreed to be the receiver/reshipper for all these chips yet? If not…











I think @SeanGecko might be available for another GB soon
(Just kidding, bud)

This is probably going to be the biggest challenge.

Might be a good idea to offer some cash if someone is willing to do the work. Maybe $20 per 1000 chips?

 

[Geremie]

If the border was open I’d do it (have relatives in Buffalo). But I haven’t crossed in over 15 months and the border is still closed. I wouldn’t want chips stranded.

So far I've had 3 people express willingness, I'm just clarifying details. Should have an answer soon.

As someone else mentioned previously we had discussed that approach in the last group and ultimately decided against it. In addition to the normal suspicion when importing large quantities of commercial goods in a personal vehicle (as opposed to a transport truck), and the higher likely hood of taxation, it looks suspicious in terms of money laundering when the chips look to the border officers like they could potentially be live casino chips, and you're importing them "for a bunch of people you've never met but know through a sketchy web forum". It's definitely still an option, but especially with the border still closed it's one I'd recommend keeping on the back burner. Thanks for the offer though.

I’d ship from the US - I’d only bring my set into Canada via vehicle (maybe one other small set - 1000 chips max)

 

[ParrotheadMZ]

I might be interested in WSOP tributes as well. Tina and US.
400-1000

 

[Mojo1312]

@mnebesny, @Eloe2000. Too busy to give this my attention. I don't see anything changing until after mid July. Maybe then, providing there is time left in the process to pick edge spots, base colors, etc. Likely 800 pieces if it matters.

Those of us who organize these GBs do it for the love of chipping and helping to get these chips into the hands of the PCF community. The way we handled GB #1 - batches 1-4, is that most of us padded our final shipping payment to Sean with a generous tip. These chips are so reasonably priced, that it should be easy to thank your re-shipper in that way. $20 per 1000 is a very reasonable amount, and anyone who buys chips in any of these GBS, or really any GB on PCF, should budget for something like that when planning to participate.

 

[PlayerADK]

Yep I'm in for another 1000

 

[jamesd57]

I’m down for 800ish-1000ish,
I’ll have to find a design I can use however

 

[Woldy]

I got 2000 in Sean's GB, but it's probably time to reload.

Will do about 500.

 

[CoachBudKilmer]

I'm in for ~1000. Probably need some help with the artwork

@timinater @Quicksilver-75 @p5woody @JeepologyOffroad all do artwork, and there is also some stock artwork available, here's a list that @Eloe2000 compiled: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...r-consolidated-info-thread.65544/post-1303539

I'm really considering getting in on this group buy. If I do, it will be for a cash set probably with the following breakdown: 100 fracs, 200 $1s, 300 $5s, 100 $25s, 50 $100s (750 chips total). It really depends on if I can get a design together on time.

A couple questions: 1) Are these regular ceramics or are they some sort of hybrid? 2) I'm assuming that I can get whatever image and edge spots I want on these, correct?

Here is a breakdown with all the information for the ceramics: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...ramics-master-consolidated-info-thread.65544/

In short they are just regular ceramics with a few different molds, the card mold, diamonds, and a plain. I cant seem to find the pictures for reference. Yes you can get whatever image you want with whatever edge spot you want. the only requirements is it must be in a vector format (.ai preferable, but I've been told .eps also works) and it has to be CMYK, if it is RGB the printer will not accept.

 

[buffalojim]

Oh jeez, I haven't even received my first order. Do I really need more

 

[Pinkdan]

Oh jeez, I haven't even received my first order. Do I really need more

Is that even a question

 

[buffalojim]

I don't even need the ones I have coming, really lol. So sick.

This might be a good opportunity to get a "small" personalized set instead of a ridiculously large tribute set I have coming. That means coming up with ideas, oh god

 

[Pinkdan]

Small…

 

[buffalojim]

Small…

No really

 

[justincarothers]

This might work a lot better if you break it into several group buys of 10,000 +. The more people involved the longer it takes. We need someone very organized to get it and keep it going. Just my opinion.

Also will be in for 2300 instead of 1000.

 

[Matthew627]

I am interested in at least 1000 chips

 

[power13]

In for 3500. I'm in the US

 

[FestiveKnight]

In for 1,400 in the US. No preference on vendor, need to read up on what people have said about them.

 

[jamesd57]

Do the stock aces designs from bosco have some sort of tool that one can use to do some mockups / is there another tool that folks recommend?
