CLOSED - Group Buy for Warneke 100 count 'Paulson-Type' Chip Storage Boxes (6 Viewers)

[AWenger]

What’s the resell value of the boxes to someone like me that missed out ?

It's probably figuring out shipping that's the hard/expensive part -- the flat boxes are long and bulky.

If you still need more boxes than @krafticus can get you, and/or if you ever attend one of the local Ellicot City games, let me know. I make it up every once in a while. If we happen to be able to make it to one of the same games, I'd probably be willing to part with 10-15 boxes at close to cost.

That’s very generous!

Likewise. I’m hosting a tournament on the 11th if you are interested/available....

Hell, you make it down, I’ll give you 15 or so, free of charge.

anyone using glue to make the divider stay in place?

I'm just using chips. Center barrel goes in first.

I used this same method... until I realised I couldn't go 20 minutes without taking out the barrel to fondle them again.

Then it was all about the tape.

There will be extras that I will be selling at cost... but it probably won't be until after Thanksgiving. I'm just so far behind on life right now....

Should I PM you now about this or do I have to wait for a sale thread?

Please wait for a thread in classifieds. Probably won’t be until a December. I’ll post a notice in here before it happens so people have some advance warning.

Got'em! They arrived in great shape. Thanks Dude!

 

[RiverAce01]

Any ETA on the last orders? I'm kind of in need of these now.

Let's just say I have a new set that...uh...needs a place to go so the future Mrs doesn't know it's in the house

You mean this system isn't working for your chips????:

 

[HO HO HO]

Boxes received. Everything was packed nicely. Maybe you should open a UPS packing store

 

[rowlin]

I’m glad to hear that jsd wasn’t buried alive in cardboard. I feel like there could have been some massive box forts and photo ops in all of this.

 

[links_slayer]

finally cracked these open last night. took me a while to figure out how to put them together but hot dayyyyyyummmmmmm. these are outstanding.

thanks again for all your efforts!

 

[WedgeRock]

I was driving behind a truck last night that said MICHIGAN BOX COMPANY... And I thought, Hmmmmmmm....

Just FYI - there’s also a “how to” video in the OP! (y) :thumbsup:

And yes, I must concur with you on the quality. They are better (thicker and more stout) than the factory Paulson boxes, if i do say so myself.

 

[justsomedude]

All final orders are delayed. For some reason my UPS account is giving me a "security error" when I try to process the last batch of shipments. I thought it may be the recipient, so I tried other addresses and got the same error.

And what's worse is, their customer service line for this error is only open Mon-Fri.

I'll try to get this resolved first thing Monday AM. Sorry for the added delays.

 

[BGinGA]

They probably heard that "white box" was a new street name for heroin.

My guess is it’s marijuana security. Me being in denver, and shipping many large, relatively light weight packages, is throwing a red flag.

Damn drug dealers are ruining it for us poker chip addicts.

 

[justsomedude]

You might be a chipper when...

Your entire UPS address book is filled with PCF members:

 

[justsomedude]

Final orders are boxed and ready to go, and the recipient addresses are already entered in my UPS account.

Just waiting on UPS to lift the security hold on my account.

sigh...
