Pharaoh's Club Paulson chips - Pre-Order Thread

[mckee27]

Ten: Why did you change the design of the blue chip? Now the blue and the green look identical, both have wings. Not sure if I like that? And I thought the blue chip was going to be the $1 chip....so much for the poll???

[audiopostman]

I agree on both points.

I'd like a blank chip b/c I use a $5000 in tourneys and this set won't have that w/o a blank.

Guys, don't object to a blank chip, it will get enough people in to make the buy. It won't detract from an all denomination set because those sets won't have any blanks. As other posters have said it's a microscopic cost and will be EASY to tell a $1000 from a blank if some ahole tried to counterfeit.

I think we're gonna need to do some work on the blank orange chip. Anyone have any suggestions? It just looks "empty" on the bottom half.

Keep in mind, it's a $350 charge for major changes, and a $150 for minor ones....

I think it looks ok. My immediate thought is to put the symbol for 'gold' or 'wealth' in the denom space if either looks cool. I will google it in a few.

PS, I have been abusing my samples of these chips for a couple weeks now and they show very little wear, if any. Just some minor hand dirt on the orange. I am impressed so far with the quality of the chip. I'll be getting a set just to keep up w/the Jones's. How ironic that the nearest 'Jones' is 900 miles away!

Excuse my newness, but I've been websearching for some good clay chips and came across this thread, and I think you've designed the classiest fantasy casino chips I've ever seen. Registered here just to get involved (though I have lurked here before somewhat). Can anyone make an order commitment, and is there a minimum?

As for the orange wild chip, maybe a plain great pyramid viewed edge on, or slightly askew like this pic? http://www.black-triangle-ufo-roma.c...ramid_View.jpg

edit: hmmm, duh, theres already a pyramid chip [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Can some people post pictures of the white and orange so we can see how dirty we are talking about here? Maybe we can convince Ten to make the $1 blue.

i believe ten's cut will be 0 dollars. but your post brings to mind a certain thought that has been stated before. it goes something like "you have choices. you can always choose to go elsewhere."

another thought: chipcos retail at $1. paulson JB's retail at $1.15.

recently you posted that they should go for .6 in this group buy. i think you're dreaming.

lets be real here. something just smells awefully fishy. we are ordering 100,000 chips and the best you can do is .90 cents a chip? ok lets look at the dice702 chips. he sells 5,000 chips for .92 cents each. are you telling me he is only making 2 cents a chip? please, get real. i am not buying it. be realistic people and use some common sense.

and btw, i believe ten is making 0 profit. i was simply making a point. i would trust that he would be completely honest about this.

and btw, Chipcos now retail for 1.10 .

based on the amount ordered and the price of dice's chips, i am saying that this is where the right price should be.

A little over a year ago the internet price for the "Fabulous Las Vegas" Paulson chips was $.59 a piece and ChipCo's direct from Chipco was $.70 ($.72? cant be sure).
ChipCo's from internet sellers were 70 to 95 cents a piece at that time also. I purchased Fab's and Oysters/Paradise chips at that time. Shortly after, chipco raised its price. I'm sure that Chipco changed it's retail price to keep the resellers happy.
Paulson had already stopped making the homegame chips, so the price went up. I believe it's the manufacturers who raised the prices and also restricted the resellers.
We are getting horned alright, but I think its ChipCo and Paulson, not the resellers. If RETAIL is 59 cents on a Paulson generic home game chip, what was WHOLESALE? 42cents, marked up 30% is 60cents. I don't think 60cents is too far off actual manufacturing costs for custom Paulsons. We may never see that kind of pricing, but that doens't mean Paulson's cost is that high.
