Once I figure out what the hell I'm doing with all these I will have excess I can help people with. I scratched the tourney idea, I'll be trying to build a 1k chip cash set ranging from 5 cents to 20 dollars and a limit set of quarters and dollars. Anything left after that can go.

 

[saleen121212]

I should have 150ish pink with no fade, 100 purple and 80 gray or something once I figure it out. Not 100 percent sure. Dibs goes to @ABC Gifts and Awards if he needs any of these right now.

Got mine yesterday. Way nicer in person than I was expecting. Very pleasant surprise. For the price, these are great chips.

Had the @ABC Gifts and Awards do the labels, and they nailed them. They printed and put the labels on in a super fast turn around. Not only is the print job great, but I love the feel/laminate they use. It even looked like they took the time to line the labels all up the same with the edge spots (or one helluva coincidence)

If you're on the fence on labels, ABC does a GREAT job with them. Would totally recommend them as another great label option. Thanks again to Gene and the crew there for making this bargain happen and supporting the madness.

Unfortunately, the pics don't quite to them justice and you can't really get a sense of the laminate (nor have I had time to oil them yet).

Love the chips, great looking set.

Haha! I got you, fam!

I need someone to sell me back 150 greens - please PM if you overbought and I'll make you a deal.

Grey and Blue are both sold out now. Some of you with PMs asking for greys and blues will get them. Some may not. I will message when I know for sure which orders can be filled.

For those of you who haven't received responses, you're not alone. I'm getting to messages when I can. As many of you know, this may be at any time of day or night, but doesn't mean I'm sitting around with nothing to do or that I'm on here 24 hours a day. When you get artwork from me after midnight, it's because I'm still working after midnight. When you get replies at 7 in the morning on Sunday, it's because I'm working at 7am Sunday morning. When you get responses from me all through the Thanksgiving holiday when I'm out of town with family, it's because I saw that there was something urgent that needed response.

It’s incredible to see a vendor go to these lengths to try and make a deal right when he has no obligation to. I have only done one deal with Gene from @ABC Gifts and Awards in the short time that I have been a member here but it definitely makes me want to give him as much business as I can.

No worries--my wife will do it for me. On a related note, anyone have some good advice on how to get your wife to do tedious tasks for you?

I had my my and son help me label mine years ago. Was a huge help and they were happy to do it

My fear of employing the help of either my wife or son is that I'd end up with labels covering edgespots and I'd have to redo the whole thing by myself anyway.

 

[PlaidDragon]

My kids are young. Half the stickers would end up on the walls, pets, and their foreheads....

 

[ranger764]

My son was 7-8 years old and did a good job when I showed him what to do

Did oiling them change the feel/stacking/shuffling?

I know that there are better threads and what not, but I’ve seen so many different ideas of what to do (and not to). Can someone point me in the right direction/post for how to clean up these chips? (No products on hand, haven’t cleaned chips before)

I would wash the whole lot in some warm soapy water, dry and then if you feel they need it, put on a really light coat of mineral oil on the outside. Just take a sock or cloth, put a line of oil on it and rotate the barrel on the cloth until you get a light even coat. I don’t think you need to oil the faces of the chip.

Any specific mineral oil or just whatever I find?

Any damage from them smashing into each other with this method?

So far I found 1 tiny chip from a brown chip, and I was not gentle with them. 0 broken chips from shipping either.

All they need is a good wipe down with a damp cloth to remove the manufacturer dust. Then let them air out for a few days to lose some of the odor if it bothers you.

Oiling China Clay's is a waste of time IMO, the material isn't porous enough to soak the oil in. Yeah they will look shiny for a little while but will lose that sheen after time and you'll be doing it again if you want to maintain that look. In the meantime they'll be slimey with excess oil. But others swear by the process so ymmv.
(I am in the minority on the don't oil CC's opinion around here btw)

I haven't oiled ccs so I'll do it as a test. Apache recommends it on majestic but others here say not worth it. Seems we have different camps on this, to each their own I guess.

 

[SeanGecko]

My main belief is due to different material used it will vary. China Clay spirit mold it helped A LOT. With certain colors on the 8v I noticed a difference. Purple not so much.

I’m with you actually, found oiling them to be a waste

I'm amazed at how unbreakable these chips seem. I've dropped a bunch of them from table height, with not so much of a chip. I even tried to break one of the faded pinks with my hands. Took about two minutes of wrenching it with everything I could muster before I got it to chip.

 

[SeanGecko]

It's a start

Hell ya man. It's amazing how much different chips look with a label on. Can't wait to get some labels on mine!

 

[ABC Gifts and Awards]

I have several invoices that were sent a week ago or longer that have not been paid. In order to solidify our inventory, I am cancelling these invoices. Since I can't search the PM's for email addresses I'm not sure who is who. If you get a message that your invoice was cancelled and want to order again, let me know. At this point the available colors are brown, white, pink, purple, black. Black and pink are at very low inventory levels. Also, the trays that fit these are just about sold out too.

Thanks,
Gene

Sharp! that's making me lean more and more towards the circular text!
