Chip ID, please... (1 Viewer)

Probably just opened the case upside down.

Ha. I think you’re right

Burt Co. made chips for Marion & Co. using their E&C mold. ASM and CPC both offered chips to their customers using the mold for an additional usage fee paid to Marion & Co., but I don't think they (Marion) has sold chips for a very long time.

I never understood why some CPC mold chips cost much more. Is this the reason?

Mold efficiency also plays a part -- some molds have a lesser chip output or a higher reject rate, both of which equate to higher per-chip prices. The A-mold is always mounted, so it doesn't incur additional labor costs to install (unlike all other molds).

Thanks!

The “plain mold” is I think the third price tier which always baffled me.

AFAIK E&C is the only mold with such a fee. Pricing generally seems to be primarily output/cost related as @BGinGA explained.

May I translate?



You posted them on a public forum and someone else found them too and offered me more than I was asking....so I'm gonna sell them to someone else for more.

Certainly could be what happened, but I’m fine with that, $40 would have been my max anyway (and I would’ve likely haggled)

I wonder how long ago that was. Because it seems like solids have skyrocketed in demand in the past couple of years (here at least) since more people have started mulling.

two years ago I guess.

sold 1000 piece sets for 150 shipped.

I think i remember even taking less or giving away a bunch in the end for the price of shipping. not 100% sure though.

there might be a little more of a market for them right now, bit old asm solids have never really sold for much.
