Well, as epic as a GB would ever get on CPCs. They are a bit pricey.

How do the China clay group buys work? Are there official vendors out there we keep going back to or is it a crap shoot on Alibaba?

My Chinese no too good so I would hope we have a list of manufacturers out there somewhere?

There's not really any particular format. The CPS started with a group that tried to contact/deal with a Chinese manufacturer, but that eventually fell apart in the planning. It had so much traction however, that a vendor (Palm Imports) picked up the ball and ran with it. While "technically" not a group buy, it was the sheer numbers that 1) allowed us to dictate specific colors, 2) create a custom tower and spear mold, and 3) get the price down crazy cheap.

The Matsui plaque was a group buy that was spearheaded by a member to reduce the cost Matsui charges for each design. The thread went mostly unnoticed until the Pr0n came out, and members urged him to run another one. Once he relented, he ran it as a "for profit" buy. This caused some uneasy feelings among some - like finding out the hot girl that you're about to take back to your room is a hooker, but others simply thought hey, it still looks good. Hence threads were started to see what the ground rules should really be in a GB. As far as I know, no rules have ever been set.

Just stick around though. The Majestic buy (again spearheaded by a vendor) offered up great deals for those willing to make a buy sight unseen. Also stay tuned, as without warning the Chiproom (another vendor) will provide a great opportunity for casino chips. Those tend to sell out at a lightning pace.

Does anyone own a set or seen a set of these? These are some sweet quarter pies!

Is there any word of casino chips being sold by Chiproom in the near future? This would put a dent in my CPC savings. Chiproom is how I got my casino chips and I got no issue buying more..
