Hello!
(not so quick) Background:
So earlier I was thinking a lighted Dealer Button would be a cool idea (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/lighted-dealer-button.120636/). Posted my thoughts here on PCF and received mixed reviews on the concept. But of course, that didn't stop me - I got obsessed with the idea and went so far as to reach out to a company in China to make custom lighted drink coasters to be lighted "DEALER" buttons. They had to "reprogram" them to not turn off (originally designed to go in car cup holders that automatically light up when it was dark out and turn on when the car was moving (vibration), but without any vibration they would turn off after 1 minute).
Anyway, the only way they would custom and "reprogram" them is, you guessed it, if I bought a "boatload" of them. So I did with the intention of selling them over a long period of time to hopefully break even at some point in the (distant) future. So I placed the order and paid for it almost two months ago.
But then, as they say, "life happens"... Two weeks after I placed my LED Dealer Button order, our wonderful puppy dog (Truman is not a "pup" - he's actually an 11 year old Cardigan Corgi) had a serious issue out of the blue (his first serious issue ever): he had a twisted stomach and needed emergency surgery. Then, after the surgery, he had a bad reaction. It was a little touch-and-go, but he pulled through. Really rough 2 weeks. But as of now, he's back to normal (whew!).
So, you can probably guess why I'm posting this "For Sale" thread...
Truman's surgery and after-care was a not-so-small fortune, to say the least
. So, the "get back to even" with the LED Dealer Buttons has been moved to the front burner, as it's kind of urgent now - I need to drum up funds. I'm starting with these LED Dealer Buttons, but will also put up for sale other chips/items on PCF over the next week+ (I'll notate "A Truman Sale" in all of the titles).
