G'day cobbers (
),Expression of interest (EOI) only at this stage, but seeing as these ARIA's look the goods, was wondering if anyone else down under is wanting some of these chipes. Looks like the best way to get them is to do our own Aussie Group Buy. We will liaise with @TX_Golf_N_Poker and @Johnny5 for permission to use/tweak the artwork etc... and gratefully draw upon the the experience and knowledge of those who have gone before us (inc. the one and only @SeanGecko ).
For further info, this is from @TX_Golf_N_Poker 's recent post -
"I just confirmed pricing with Tina yesterday. Cost per chip is remaining at 28 cents. Her shipping estimate for 20,000 chips is $851, so roughly 4.25 cents a chip. In addition, I know previous large group buys have also incurred various banking and wire transfer fees, and I may need to purchase a few shipping supplies. So I’m going to use 5 cents per chip at this time to cover all those expenses and allow for a possible shipping increase / fudge factor. Once we have all the exact amounts, we will make adjustments to the totals paid by you and provide each buyer with a credit against your final shipping payment due assuming these expenses come in below that amount. And finally, I also want to adequately compensate @Johnny5 for all the work he has put in on this project, so we’ll be adding 2 cents per chip ordered that will go straight to him.
Therefore, at the time you place your order, I will be collecting 35 cents per chip. We will settle up on adjustments and final shipping cost to you after the chips are produced and on their way to me."

UPDATE with info from Tina;
Still waiting to hear from Tina regarding a shipping quote to Australia for 10K chips (she doesn't appear to want to give one but said DHL or UPS would be the carriers). It appears that will probably been in the vicinity of $500-$600USD judging by the US shipping for 19K chips. Lets say $600USD for worst case scenario.
For 10K chips they will be 28cUSD/chip. + shipping (6cUSD/chip) + Australian custom charges (15%) (5cUSD/chip) = Approx. 39cUSD/chip (52cAUD/chip). Could be more, but could be about right.
+ approximately $20AUD domestic re-shipping from Brisbane.
Tina also seemed to want to arrange a pick up from a local airport to save on shipping, but again, has not provided details of how that would occur or how much that would cost.
INDIVIDUAL ORDERS (or small combined orders may be the way to go)
If you just want ARIA'S without any changes and just want an individual order of 1,500 - 2,000 chips, Tina gave a quote and shipping:
For that many chips it would be 32cUSD/chip + $228USD (15cUSD/chip) to $268USD (13cUSD/chip) shipping = 47cUSD/chip (64cAUD/chip) to 45cUSD/chip (62cAUD/chip). It would cost you $200.00AUD more for a 2K individual chip order.
So far we only have a couple of interested parties, but not enough for 10K chips. I'm not phased if we don't go ahead as it was just an interest gauging thing and I didn't have my heart set on it.
