Taking Orders Custom Cut Card Group Buy - Jan 2025 (54 Viewers)

I'll be getting the full number of cut cards ordered today. Also will be dropping the price per cut card by .10 cents, to $1.15ea

Most if not all cut cards have reached the MOQ, if there's a few that haven't I'll bump it up to 10 per design to make sure we're good!

Thanks again for all of the interest everyone!

Plus a share of the setup fee for the particular design?

That's correct, so let's say 20 of you guys ordered the same design, I'm only going to charge .50 cents per person.

If only one person ordered a design, I'll have to charge the full $10.

I'll calculate the total into the mix once I look over everything and see how many people ordered which cut card designs.
 
Sorry, I'm a bit turned around - is this the Group Buy and Marketplace thread? I wasn't aware that we'd also be ordering other people's designs with you. Is that the case? If so, is there a way to see all the available cards (the Google link isn't comprehensive as the cards I'm ordering for myself aren't there for people to order - I'm also interested in ordering some cards from @Quicksilver-75 but I don't see his cards on the shared Google drive as well).

Apologies if this has already been covered, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

Thanks for all the great work @Okku! I know you're crushing it behind the scenes.

If only making designs public if you let me know that it's public.

When you email me with your designs, I'm guessing you'd only want it ordered by yourself unless you let me know "This is available for everyone to use"

Otherwise I'm thinking you're the only one wanting to order it.

I'll be updating the google drive link today. I was taking care of my fiancée last night and making sure things are good around the house because she is sick. Also took the day off from work to make sure she's good, but also to take care of this and make sure everyone is good to go before this closes this weekend.
 
Revised order just sent via email. Doesn't look like my new design got done in time. I'll get them next time.

Thanks, Oscar!
 
Oscar, I'm still in for what we talked about. If not too late I can send an email later today. My apologies, I did not know I needed to send an email till now when I clicked on the thread again.
 
Awesome! Thank you for the clarification. Please make all of my designs public. I'll also send you an email so you have notice there as well.

I hope your fiancee is feeling better! Please, take care of yourself and family first. That's far more important than cut cards! :)

Shouldn't the design fee be per card? If somebody orders 20 of something, and I tag along and get two cards, I shouldn't have to pay the same amount as the guy with the big order.

But you’re still sharing the setup of the design regardless of how many you order.

If Tom orders 800 chips in a china clay GB and Dick only orders 200, they still share the setup fee.

Ok Oscar, just sent email with art and order.

120 custom cards for 3 different files
20 cards from posted artwork

Let me know any issues

Thanks for putting this together. We appreciate you.

Well, I probably wouldn't agree with that either.

Edit: Every group by that I've run (I think I've done 3 or 4) Ancillary costs have always been split up per unit, not per person ordering, for exactly this reason. The people ordering the majority of the units pay the majority of the extra costs. If I create a custom design that I'm buying 40 of, and 5 other guys get 2 more each, I should pay 80% of the setup costs, not 1/6th. This just seems like common sense to me. Maybe it's true what they say about common sense not being so common anymore...

I had to deal with splitting a fee in the past. In the end, we settled on dividing the fee per order, not by quantity. The fee needed to be paid for the entire order, regardless of the quantity ordered. So it seemed to make sense that we would split the fee per order, not by the quantity ordered.

I think it makes more common sense to split up the fee evenly amongst people ordering a specific card.

1. It is A LOT less math for Oscar who is already doing quite a bit of the heavy lifting--why add to that w/ a gazillion additional calculations; and
2. People who set up the art and files that you are ordering from may order more cards, but evenly contributing w/ others to the set up fee pays the OG designer back a little for all the time they spent putting that file together and finalizing it.

I just think of it as a tip of the cap to them, so what if I have to pay a maximum of an additional $5 to use their design if I really like it?

I guess I would have to know the exact situation to have an opinion about that. If the entire order wasn't going to get made without all the parties, then that might be a fair way to decide. Also if all the order sizes are similar, but not exactly the same size, then yeah, splitting it evenly is a lot easier than doing the math to get it exact. But if one person was placing a large order that they were going to get no matter what, and then a few others tag along for a small percentage of the order, I feel that a pro-rata division makes more sense. The person placing the large order should bare the brunt of the extra costs.

I would hope Oscar has this all set up in a spreadsheet. There's no extra work in setting up the calculation one way, or the other. Like I said, I've done this myself a few times.

Fair point.

I guess this is part of the reason I've been asking for a couple of weeks to see a tabulation of the orders placed so far. If I'm the only person ordering two cards of someone's design that they're getting 40 of, and I'm paying half the setup fee, then I might not order that card at all. But if there are 10 people ordering something, then the amount is nominal, so it's no big deal.
 
I'm going over all the numbers now and will give an update here in a bit when I've got it done.

I'll have a list of numbers per design as well as a total number of cards being ordered so we are all on the same page.
 
I still have about 10 or so emails to go through to confirm everyone's numbers and numbers per design, but it seems like all of the ones that we are ordering, we've hit the MOQ per design for either size if needed.

We are currently sitting at 3388 cut cards in total with what everyone has sent to me via email.

I'll make this excel public later tonight once I'm done eating dinner so that you can see if anyone wants to look.
