Does anyone know if there will be any future abbiati group buys?
what kind of defects? abbiatti = high grade plastic chips?I think that because of the production defects in the last one, it kind of put people off.
Quick search resulted in the thread below regarding the defects. The inconsistent text alone would really be annoying paying for premium chips. I can see the defect in the text printed on the chips. The color fading is not as obvious to me. Maybe it's because I'm on my phone.what kind of defects? abbiatti = high grade plastic chips?
Yeah, it was the above mentioned text issues as well as bleeding edge spots.what kind of defects? abbiatti = high grade plastic chips?
This one has been trying to get off the ground for some time. I don't believe it's completely dead, so feel free to try and revive it! I'm still very interested if it does regain its legs.I didn’t know that. Matsui one? Lol
Well, I guess Justin decided to pull the plug on that deal. I thought there were enough who had interest and we were waiting on him to get the newest price changes. But I guess not. It's sad, because that was such a great design.I love those!
Don't Abbiatis run like $4 a chip? When they are close to 20 times what el cheapo plastics go for, I don't think it's unreasonable expect close to perfection. At that price, the manufacturer should take the time to QC the chips and weed out the ones that are obviously flawed.I think it's interesting what people are willing to tolerate among different chip types. With clays, the common thinking is that imperfections are acceptable because they're "handcrafted" and should be embraced for their uniqueness.
Yet, anything other than perfection is unacceptable for high-end plastics?
Granted, I saw a few chips in that referenced thread that were definite problems...but when the text on one chip is slightly bolder than another is hardly worth worrying about, imo.
I guess my point is that people don’t expect CPCs (some can run close to $4/chip) and don’t expect perfection. They’re willing to accept some level of variation and imperfection.Don't Abbiatis run like $4 a chip?

Edit: Or include a 5% overage with each order.
With CPC we’re willing to accept the imperfections that are inherent to the hand made chip production process such as differencies in spot forms and placements. That is all to be expected.I guess my point is that people don’t expect CPCs (some can run close to $4/chip) and don’t expect perfection.

I will agree that if the majority of the chips have a serious issue, like the very blurry $25s in that linked thread, that should be addressed. But I saw plenty of comparison photos that I would not consider a problem.

A slight error on the inlay on a CPC chip would be scrutinized harshly, an imperfection in the clay the chip was made of wouldn't.I guess my point is that people don’t expect CPCs (some can run close to $4/chip) and don’t expect perfection.

I think the total price per chip on the park place order was about $2.40. @Tommy would know for certain.
what are the minimum chip order requirements for dealing with Abbiati?
