Matsui WPS Horseshoe Style GB #2 - ORDER THREAD - CLOSED (14 Viewers)

[Tommy]

Is there a minimum number of chips I would need to purchase? Could I just buy a sample set? Thanks

Sure but to keep shipping easier for the re-shipper, flat rate boxes are being used for all orders. A sample set would ship in a small flat rate box.
If someone wants re-ship the sample sets, all the chips can be sent to them. Otherwise SFRB direct to you. Order more to make the shipping worth it.

 

[FDLmold]

Please refresh my memory, how many chips-in-racks fit in MFRBs and LFRBs?

 

[Perthmike]

Ok I couldn’t resist. Count me in for
2 x T5
121 x T25
121 x T100
51 x T500
101 x T1K
31 x T5K
11 x T25K v1
0 x T25K v2

I had to test fit the chips/racks on the first buy. You 'could' get 600 in a MFRB and 900 in a LFRB but that is pushing it with the weight even in doubled boxes. I think I did 500ish and 800ish on the last buy which adds more room for packing material on the bottom row.

A rack weights 3lbs 2oz (1.7 rounded up) on my scale.
900 in a LFRB would be close to 30lb and 600 in a MFRB would be close to 20lbs.

For international shipments, 20lbs is the max for Med and Large boxes.

I just test fitted 600 and 900 now. Here are some pics.

MFRB
4 on the bottom row and 2 on top.



LFRB

6 on the bottom row


3 on the top row



If it was my order, I'd opt for the lower amount, 500 and 800, or whatever the options are.
It going to be totally up to what @ekricket feels comfortable with since he is doing the re-shipping.

 

[Phish1321]

I'm on the list for 5 sample sets. It looks like others are ordering them too. Maybe it makes sense to combine and reship. I dunno, this is my first GB.

Ok, thanks for the info

I’ll take 2 sets, do you want up your total to 7 and I’ll pay you the difference? And to keep shipping cost down.

It's now at 1.15 per chip. Damn to me for only hosting cash games. Hopefully if a cash set ever gets made the group buy will be just as successful.

I think we are between 10k and 15K ATM. Have not tallied up the edits and new orders yet

• 10,000 pieces - $1.15 + $0.03 = $1.18 +7.5c = $1.255 per chip
• 15,000 pieces - $1.15 + $0.02 = $1.17 +5c = $1.22 per chip

Very solid prices. Damnt!!!!

 

[18xx Board Gamer]

I've updated my order so I can get a rack, and sell sample sets here at cost. I suppose I'll flog the extras on eBay if I need to.

I don't suppose a rack fits in the SFRB, does it?

 

[luv2breformed]

I'm in, going with @Sprouty's original suggestion. Thanks.

EDIT: added to my 25k's for bounty chips

200 x T5
200 x T25
200 x T100
100 x T500
100 x T1K
20 x T5K
10 x T25K v1
10 x T25K v2

 

[Darson]

Just upped my chips to 900...

 

[K ALL IN 9]

I didn't know there was a WPS Matsui GB before! Just found this pic. These chips must be the nutz as I haven't seen a set for sale in the classifieds. I'm glad I increased my order. May have to increase again...

I'm holding out for a cash set. Were working on something, but it might be a little while. Don't spend all your money right now

Give us a hint.
Matsui?
Vegas colours?
A yellow $20?
When?

Im prob in on this order, but Im deciding on my cash set as well.

 

[Advocate]

I want to do a set for traditional T10k stacks and occasional T20k stacks, but I love these 5s so much. So hard to decide what to do.

Use the 5s as bounty chips and the 25k v2 as the rebuy chip. Or vice versa. Get Gear to make lablels, and you’ll always have all chips on table at one point in the game.

Matsui
Cali colors. Might have a Vegas color option too.
Not sure about yellow $20 yet.
Within the next year, not within the next couple months.

Nice. Consider Abbiati. I know Tommy recently abandoned the idea for cost, but there may be enough interest for those considering alternatives to CPC and used THCs.

 

[Tommy]

All new orders and order updates have been added. FP has been updated.
We are currently at 12,697 chips.

As a reminder, just one order post per member in this thread. Edit as needed up to the order deadline of 2/22/19 and please use (copy and paste) the breakdown format as shown in the FP in your order post. Thanks!

 

[Ghoti]

I'll be adding on some more extras, enough to bring us over the 12,700 mark

Just added 40 more so hopefully we can get to 15,000 by the deadline. Maybe a few more will join the GB.

My Best Jeff

 

[FDLmold]

I will be tempted to add more racks all the way up to the deadline.

 

[Chipnut]

I should be putting in a mere 300+ but every one helps

 

[PatTheCat]

Is it possible to order a single $5 chip to complete my sample set ?

 

[Ghoti]

I'll order an extra and send it to you.

Edit: if you don't mind waiting. I won't be picking these up til I visit the states and I don't know when that's be.

 

[PatTheCat]

You don‘t know the month or year ? That would be very kind of you. Please let me know how much I owe you.

 

[Advocate]

We’ll make 15k. Ill b likely putting in an order next week.

Sometime between this summer and summer 2020. Sorry, that's the best I can do!
