Pharaoh's Club Paulson chips - Pre-Order Thread

[morglum_s]

I'm a roundie too [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I got no problem with round inlays.

I got no problem with shaped inlays.

I got no problem with any of the incarnations of the mold. Ok, I have a little problem with the JB mold, but it ain't big enough to stop me from buying.

I got no problem with what color what chip is.

I do got a problem that there aren't enough buyers yet.

C'mon people! Dig deep. Order a crapperload! I want this thing off the ground!

- No shaped inlays for home sets. We are allowed round only, standard size.

The round inlays!

All that's left to be revealed is the appearance of the new mold, specifically with regard to the concentric circles.
I'm going to bump up my quantity on the promise to buy form.

Bottom line: Trademark was are very busy this week with tradeshows. The owner is out, but gives my guy updates when he talks to Paulson.

In general Paulson is being very, how would you say, inflexible. They don't even want to do 100k orders at all, they wanted to require 250,000k minimum. TM convinced them.

New confirmed info:

- No shaped inlays for home sets. We are allowed round only, standard size.
- Price is .75 base (don't forget other various fees). For .73 we need to buy 250,000 in ONE ORDER. TM says that Paulson has also raised the price on them.
- They are still confirming art charges.

Not much else. I was told there will be no other updates until next Tuesday.

The attitudes of large companies never ceases to amaze me. Why did they bother getting back in the home market if they are so pissy about it.

There must be someone on this forum with some Native American heritage. Open a casino in your backyard and we could probably order 40,000 chips from Paulson and get them done with any option we wanted. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So why was it that you stopped pursuing Matsui for this order?

The good news on orders is there are some buyers talking to me in email (and on this board) that aren't placing their pre-order until they're sure about everything. I feel that the orders will increase 50% once we are final with a solid quote and mockups.

Once we add a retailer into the mix, their website exposure will helpa a great deal.

I see no problem with this hitting 100,000 once we actually take orders.

Because the name is wrong. This is the Pharaoh's Club Paulson Group Buy. It would look funny if we bought Matsui chips...

p.s. JK. It's because I dont think we'd get the same support without getting Paulson chips. Matsui has the best price at 50,000, but I think it'd be harder to do that than to get 100,000 Paulsons sold.

That's hard to imagine, with a product(Matsui) at least as good, with a custom mold, custom colors, and probably? shaped inlays... that would make the ultimate fantasy clay set.

Well, maybe not hard to imagine that interest would be lower, but a little disappointing. At least for me.

EDIT: Good point on the name though, what was I thinking? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Well, there are some of us who will buy Paulson, but not Matsui.

I mean if this doesn't pan out, I'll probably just end up ordering a batch of the JB chips, or maybe nothing at all.
