General price of Tina chips. (1 Viewer)

Sure, but someone does, right? When that someone pays her, how do those payments take place? Is PayPal an option? She's in China I believe, so I imagine payment logistics might be non-trivial.
They send you a link to pay through an Alibaba portal. It was easy both times I've done it. As far as your initial question, I think I ended up paying ~.47/chip for the first batch, but that included air freight (does not include very modest art fees for the designer I used). The second time was a few cents less/chip.

I used PayPal when I ordered directly from Tina a few years ago. There was an additional small fee for that payment method, but it was worth it to me to use a method I was comfortable with.

Any chips I'd order from Tina now, I'd 100% do through @justincarothers. Much less hassle.
Agreed. If or actually probably when I order these I will go thru Justin who has been thru the process many many times. Ads a layer of protection imo of getting EXACTLY what you want. Good luck with whatever you decide.
 
Are you seriously asking this question here? lol
My cash set has 2k chips.


Gotta say, I don't post much here because I have no idea what I'm reading half the time. Probably the same for most newer members. Is there a guide or database somewhere that I missed? The glossary when referring to molds isn't useful without pics. What is scrown?

Side note: every time I see THC in a post I think to myself "yup gotta be high to attempt deciphering what all this means"
Thanks for saying this, I thought I was the only one.
And thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge, this is a fun hobby!
 
He's joking, you just need to say "bloody tina" 3x in front of a mirror.
I did it.... I can't wait to be visited by the Tina Fairy:D

I’m more curious if this is a special order thing, or we can get the crown mold from group buys.

In seriousness, some molds are limited to those who fund them and don't make them available to the public - small crown being one of them. There's another poker chip forum, pokerchipper.com where they've run group buys I believe for the mold (which is exclusive to their group buys as I believe it was funded by users there). Great option if it's what you're looking for, just not available through Justin's group buys here.

I’m aware of his group buys. I’m curious where he gets them from.
There's a link to the alibaba page floating around for those who want to work directly with "Tina" aka Shenzen limited or something - can likely find through a google search. But IMO.. there's a level of hassle and communication gap that you would have to put up with that likely makes the group buys worth it for nearly all of us. YMMV, but not a headache I personally want.

Yup - starting to host large tourneys where multiple side games develop. I've got a large poker crowd.
You are going to love Tina's, especially for the quality compared to price.

What part of Chicago are you in?
