So that's enough to warrant it. I don't think that it looks odd. With that said, do you brand your home brew? You could use that name if you did.

Good idea, I thought of that but decided against it.
Big Moose Brewery.
Long story behind the name.
I didn't think it would fit or work.

Ah ha! You could go with just Big Moose. Or BMB. Or BM Brewery (although that sounds kinda gross
). but I think my point is that you definitely should not go with stock wording because there are things that would make sense for you and that look good.On a side note I think it's hilarious that you pick the exact same colors that I did and our avatar chips are also nearly identical.
@chutracheese The word ZYMURGY is fine. I like using that instead of PRESTIGE because everyone is getting the PRESTIGE chips. I'm into customization. It would be fine Turquoise or Blue. I used the Turquoise in my set for the Bounty and did use blue too.
If they have a Label I think you could sell your customized chips without issues because you can relabel them with Gear labels. People would know how much they cost and as long as the chips stay in great condition you should be able to get back the cost. The biggest issue you would face in reselling is if you have a horrible chip breakdown. Also I don’t think you can charge a premium with these.
Not interested in a premium, just cost recovery.
Re: breakdown, kinda feel like people like myself are super underrepresented in the usual sets floating around here, can't envision all these cash games (Using .25 or .50 Fracs) with these massive 800+ chip counts.
The 400 to a box is a bit of a stumbling block too. An extra 100 chips costs $60 but the shipping seems to add up to an extra $60 as well (Canada).

Maybe. Depends on a lot of factors.
Of non-customized one-time group buy hybrids, the resale value depends on the actual design (demand) more so than the number of chips made (supply). Some past gb chips sell for up to 3x initial cost, others sell for about 90% of the gb cost. Non-standard or semi-customs understandably resell for less, typically. Size and mold design also matter and affect value.
Given that these specific chips will be available directly from Sun-Fly afterwards, there is no exclusitivity or 'missed-chance' factor working in favor of a high or robust resale market. Customization will usually make that worse, unless it is generic enough to have broad appeal.
I think it's reasonable to say that the most one could expect a semi-custom version to resell for would be less than what a blank chip will be priced at in the future by Sun-Fly, after taking all costs of both relative transactions into consideration (shipping, taxes, etc.).
I have no knowledge of Sun-Fly's projected pricing for Prestige chips, but most of their stock items online are priced about 50% higher than most base pricing offered to group buys with substantial order numbers.
TL;DR -- Worst case is probably about a 75% return of your cost, which is about the average return on regular ceramics. Hybrids have tended to do better than that over the past two or three years since their introduction.

I can second that - I received my chips today (direct shipping to Germany, that is the reason why these have already been shipped out)

I can provide stack pictures if anyone needs color combinations (or has thoughts about dirty stack issues)

Yes, the bottom two chips are salmon ... any specified color combo you want?

What the present Sunfly sent you?
Wow, what great information for those who haven't ordered yet! Very helpful pictures; confirms my color choices (blue over turquoise and purple over lavender). Sadly, I might have preferred the Yellow over the Lemon. Could you also do a picture with Yellow/Lemon stacks next to blue?
doublequeen
Pair
Sure - both combos are hard to distingiush (I have included one each in cash/tourney set, so no problem)
lemon/blue/yellow
lemon/blue/yellow
Never mind I saw your other thread. That is so awesome of Sunfly to do that for the impending birth of your Son. Sunfly seems like it is full of some very awesome people who seem to be a great asset to the PCF.
Wow, again, thank you! Now off to place another order of 500 chips so that I don't have to stress over this decision anymore.
I think I went "safe" with my choices, but looking at those pictures, either lavender or yellow would have worked for me. Still 100% in the blue-over-turqoise camp for my $1s.
@doublequeen -- May I see a charcoal/purple/salmon/lemon/turquoise/white lineup, please?
Think Lemon might pair better with Salmon though, by the looks of it.

I chose purple over lavender for the cash set ... but both look great in-person. I like lemon better than yellow. For me, the turquoise was a must as the chip with the highest quantity (200), but also wanted to include the blue one (only 10 chips)
Order 1000 cash set. Placed. Thanks
Moving this over here to not muck up the pron thread @doublequeen
If you wouldn't mind doing a quick stack side shot of this color lineup, I'd be much obliged:

I love it! You should do it! Of course, I'm a home brewer also. Did you see my brewery related label design thread?

No, I missed it. I'll go look.
