I'm in the same boat, Tim said early next week and I should be good to go.

If anybody wants in on this set of micro stakes chips here, just tell me how many. Not samples, but like a set. I can increase my order. You'll pay for shipping from me when I have them, but I can do that easy enough. Zero extra work for our group buy guru, except maybe an extra box.

Thanks so much for the offer. I hate trying to rush into this thing, slow down the ordering process for everyone and more importantly cause any unneeded stress so I'll reluctantly sit this one out. Hopefully another group buy will come along that I can really get into. Appreciate all the help and knowledge from you guys.

You can always place a separate order with the same manufacturer in the near future — I'm doing that currently and the process with them is very easy. Granted, you won't get as good a rate per chip as the GB, but you'll still get one helluva price on a set of custom chips.

What type of set are you looking for? Cash or tourney? There's art queued up for both that's been generously shared.

Buy now. Think later. ;)

So couple of things to think about and keep in mind. How long do you plan on being around, how many sets do you think you'll end up with, what's your price range, etc.

To give you some small insights to the site. Let's say there's low/mid/high tier chips. The low tier chips are these same 5-7 brands and designs of chips that cost conscientious chippers purchase. They aren't bad at all, but they resell for pennies on the dollar, they're ubiquitous and not unique, and they're available 24/7 from any number of online vendors and dealers. Everything explodes after that, from cheapish group buys to find and rehabbing old paulson chips to ceramics to buying other peoples customs to anything you can dream of.

If this helps you put it in perspective, a vendor had blank 8V CC (china clay chips, cool edge spots). Sold them for .10 a piece, these things were going like crazy. I have a couple thousand, and it'll be a cool little "cheap set", but can you imagine the $ I'll have into that when I've paid for all the labels and taken the time to put them on?

I was in your spot, 2 days ago, didn't want to join a GB when I have no design, ideas, nothing. People pop up, say use this, I say okay. Sell one rack (100 chips!) and pay for a cash and tourney set. Here's the thing, if you can swing $100-$200, you do this. Score fully custom chips designed by the people who design best and have a great set for an extraordinarily cheap price. Take your time, go learn, see whats out there, build your knowledge and repertoire. If you decide you want to move on from what you have, depending on the art you choose, easy, EASY sell for 80-100% of what you paid.

Why am I pushing you to do this? Because the last group buy like this was from a joke thread that got out of control, and in the other year+ that I've been here that hasn't been another quite like this (there have been several with more expensive chips, but not like this and the last one). You can always choose to do this on your own and pay a bit more in fees and shipping and chips, but you won't. You're not gonna just jump on a site and figure out chip designs and hire a designer and contact an overseas manufacturer.

So if you have the $150, get a small tourney set. Spend the $175-200 on a tiny little cash set that will be eons ahead of anything else you have right now. If you reach out to the forum and ask where to start, they're gonna say that there are a ton of well priced Paulson's out there for you right now that you could get for only $600ish (and they'd be right). If that's something that sounds unfathomable right now, than this is the place for you.

This should have been a PM, I just wrote a Ben sized fricken novel :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: . Give it a second thought, if you have questions, post here or feel free to private message me. Noones trying to pressure you, it does us literally no good. Simply trying to provide additional intel and help make the right decision for you.

edit: I'm not gonna lie, I kinda liked when I had two designs that noone else was using. But it's also cool to see someone else score and like a similar design. If you happen to like Eloe2000's Donkey design, I'll commit to buying them from you at cost if you don't like them or go to sell them at some point. Just make sure you talk to someone first and don't get a shitty breakdown. I guess I'd offer that for the Clowns as well, but I'm still secretly hoping noone else jumps on board that train with me :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

So pumped! @Eloe2000 was super kind and generous to share his artwork. Even tweaking the design of the 20 to a 25 chip.

Now I just have to figure out an order size. I never host tourneys so I need to do some research. For the tourney gurus, what would work for a T10K setup for a 10 person tourney?

These are so great. Seriously considering asking if I can piggyback an order of these. Are you going 39mm or 43mm?

I'm going with the 39mm cards mold.

I'm sure they'd look great as 43mm as well.

@Eloe2000 generously opened this design for anyone so you should definitely jump aboard. You would just need to contact @SeanGecko with your breakdown and total chip order.

And for reference, here's the alternative 'Vegas lineup (yellow $20) with hotstamp frac' I had proposed :

I'll send you your vectors later today.

Can't wait to see how it'll turn !

I'm pretty sure @SeanGecko is going to have some regretts when a bazillion chips hits his front porch. You guys are crazy. :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Lot's of really cool designs. The ceramic tier in chip set of the year is going to be brutal.

Wouldn't it be awesome if on the same day all the chips arrive, about 5-10 of us show up in Omaha to help sort and mail out! Who's in for a ROAD TRIP!

Thankfully the new place I am moving has a large Veranda and someone is home all day.

Honestly if some of the midwestern folks showed up and just took their packages that alone would be amazingly great.
50,000 + chips.......

But don't worry
