THIS GROUP BUY IS CLOSED!!

After reading through the $5 MSK Gaming Thread and asking for guidance here I have been given the green light to go ahead and grab this project by the horns. Price wise we should be looking at roughly the same cost as the $5 Plaque group buy ran by @justsomedude. With that being said, I plan to keep this Group Buy to those standards with the same amount of transparency that was displayed in that thread. Please post quantity you would be interested in here and I will update ASAP.



NOTES:
  • This is not a "profit" group buy. Plaques will be sold at cost, PLUS shipping, PayPal, a $45 wire transfer fee from my bank, reshipping fees, and a per-plaque artwork fee of $100 to P5.
  • I want to avoid all BS and butt-hurt-ness, and will strive to keep this project fully transparent.
  • To keep shipping costs fair and consistent, and to minimize hassle on my end, I will be using USPS Priority Flat Rate Mail boxes for all shipments for 6 or more plaques. Orders of 5 or less plaques will get a First Class Mail option.
These will be updated as we go along.


(UPDATE 6/2/16)
Pricing: $4.51/plaque {[($3.47 * 356) + $79.60 + $146 + $100 + $45] / 356} Re-shipping costs not included. As mentioned will be taking separate payments for reshipping to be fair and to handle special requests once plaques are received.


1. SIZE - 82mm*57mm*5mm (SAME AS $5 PLAQUES)
  • a) [Using <501 quantity] $3.47/plaque. Handling Fee of $79.60.
  • SHIPPING FROM MSK to ME - $146
SHIPPING - Delivery from MSK to me expectations are 2 weeks (upon payment and design confirmation). Add another 1 week from me to you (except international) and we are looking about 3 weeks to 1 Month once everything is finalized.

3. As mentioned above there will be a $100 artwork fee to @p5woody which will be split per plaque.

4. Confirmed with my bank that there will be a $45 Wire Transfer Fee which would be split per plaque as well.

email has been sent. got caught up in studying for the motorcycle written test I will be taking. As for artwork, woody mentioned he is currently working on other projects and has other priorities he is attending to first (for those curious) before he can post up the art. In the meantime, maybe we can open up discussion for ideas? I'm under the assumption we will be using a design very similar to the $20 on the Matsui just to match the $5 from MSK
 
Added artwork to OP. That looks really good and I'm diggin it being black. One thing that can be discussed is size. Would it be wise to keep these the same size as the $5 plaques? I know some may prefer the size to be larger as the denoms go up. My opinion is keeping them the same size as the $5s, any thoughts?
 
Would be interested in 10, maybe 20 of these. Preference would be for a slightly larger plaque than the $5.
 
If price is between $4-$5 a plaque. Will likely be in for 30 to 40 plaques.

Looking good :)
 
edited op to hopefully get more discussion in the size department. No response back yet from MSK rep and not sure what turn around time generally is for responses. Will update the more detailed info we need once received.

edit: also added pdf of those interested including min and max quantities based on what was expressed so far just to get a general idea of quantity. Definitely seems like something we will want to proceed with officially, just need a response from MSK so I can layout pricing and go from there.

Please update us on pricing when you get more info, TY.
 
Is it just me - or is that black/gray color scheme sexy as hell??????? I'd almost be willing to vote for that over the "standard" yellow $20 base.
 
No update as of late. Still waiting to hear a response back. I used the email that @justsomedude provided and am not sure if I should just use the "contact us" link on their website or give it a few more days to hear back. I sent the first email a week ago today.
 
I'm in for 10-20. Don't neccessarily have preference on size, but if we go bigger I wouldn't want it too much bigger than the five. If it were the same size it would make bulk storage a little easier
 
I ended up using the one under their "Contact Us" link and they had just responded within a matter of minutes. so, what I need to respond with for the most part is what size we are wanting to get these made in.

Do you guys have any thoughts or input in terms of size? I am okay with a bump in size compared to the $5s, and I'm also okay with getting the $20s a little larger as well. Should I respond that we are interested in more than one size? Once I can get them this info, i will get a quote for pricing and we can go from there


EDIT: I also am posting this so we can get a discussion going around edge color as well. I personally feel going with Black to keep consistency would be best, but what is everyone else's opinion?

this was my thought process as well. Not only that, all dollar bills are the same sized and given the theme of using a dollar bill face, keeping them the same size seems like a good idea. I'm really indifferent in terms of size as it would be my first set of plaques anyway.

After this amount of time, definitely try the contact link on the website.
 
They can be same size as long as it is easy to differentiate btw the $20s and Matsui hundos esp. in stacks.

I'm thinking white or yellow edge stripe.......green or blue is a distant third. Can't remeber what was used on the matsui hundo

I know the matsui plaques have a smaller radius on the corners than MSK
 
PRICING HAS BEEN UPDATED! PLEASE CHECK Original Post
(side note: response has been very fast up to this point since using the contact us email address, not sure what happened with the email justsomedude provided)

Actually blue may look pretty good with the gray on the face

Picturing in my head, I actually agree with you. Remember we will be getting mock pics as well. Depending on what others feel, I may also hold a vote exactly like the $5 plaque thread.

I didnt get in the $5 GB...what was the center for the Abes?
 
The center they chose in the end was black. Black went really well with the Red they decided on in the end. You can view pics here (y) :thumbsup:
 
Don't forget to call your bank to check on the international wire transfer fee. That's going to cost you $60-$80 and add to the total plaque cost.

good looking out, I will be doing that tomorrow. I am just waiting on the method of payment response from MSK so I can have all the info needed. Then as stated, once we finalize size, I will update OP again to include per plaque pricing including everything except for reshipping fees.
