Sitting Out
Awesome, would be interested in 600!
This is probably going to be the biggest challenge.Hate to be that guy, but has anyone in the US agreed to be the receiver/reshipper for all these chips yet? If not…
I think @SeanGecko might be available for another GB soon
(Just kidding, bud)
So far I've had 3 people express willingness, I'm just clarifying details. Should have an answer soon.This is probably going to be the biggest challenge.
Might be a good idea to offer some cash if someone is willing to do the work. Maybe $20 per 1000 chips?
As someone else mentioned previously we had discussed that approach in the last group and ultimately decided against it. In addition to the normal suspicion when importing large quantities of commercial goods in a personal vehicle (as opposed to a transport truck), and the higher likely hood of taxation, it looks suspicious in terms of money laundering when the chips look to the border officers like they could potentially be live casino chips, and you're importing them "for a bunch of people you've never met but know through a sketchy web forum". It's definitely still an option, but especially with the border still closed it's one I'd recommend keeping on the back burner. Thanks for the offer though.If the border was open I’d do it (have relatives in Buffalo). But I haven’t crossed in over 15 months and the border is still closed. I wouldn’t want chips stranded.
I’d ship from the US - I’d only bring my set into Canada via vehicle (maybe one other small set - 1000 chips max)As someone else mentioned previously we had discussed that approach in the last group and ultimately decided against it.

Those of us who organize these GBs do it for the love of chipping and helping to get these chips into the hands of the PCF community. The way we handled GB #1 - batches 1-4, is that most of us padded our final shipping payment to Sean with a generous tip. These chips are so reasonably priced, that it should be easy to thank your re-shipper in that way. $20 per 1000 is a very reasonable amount, and anyone who buys chips in any of these GBS, or really any GB on PCF, should budget for something like that when planning to participate.I like this idea
I’ll have to find a design I can use however
Probably need some help with the artwork
Here is a breakdown with all the information for the ceramics: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...ramics-master-consolidated-info-thread.65544/I'm really considering getting in on this group buy. If I do, it will be for a cash set probably with the following breakdown: 100 fracs, 200 $1s, 300 $5s, 100 $25s, 50 $100s (750 chips total). It really depends on if I can get a design together on time.
A couple questions: 1) Are these regular ceramics or are they some sort of hybrid? 2) I'm assuming that I can get whatever image and edge spots I want on these, correct?
Is that even a questionOh jeez, I haven't even received my first order. Do I really need more
I don't even need the ones I have coming, really lol. So sick.Is that even a question
Me looking at the classifieds every day…I don't even need the ones I have coming, really lol. So sick.
This might be a good opportunity to get a "small" personalized set instead of a ridiculously large tribute set I have coming. That means coming up with ideas, oh god
Small…
No really
