Midnight Casino buying thread (ALL CHIPS HAVE BEEN SOLD, SECOND RUN POSSIBLE) (1 Viewer)

PM sent with the address details. Thanks for running this. I'm sure these chips turned out fantastic.

Good luck with your endeavors this week.

I happen to have 6 Bud Jones 43mm trays so you will see some pr0n today if I can get them. That isn't an issue.

Also, orders >100 chips, lmk if you all want insurance. I think the chips will be safe if I double box and pad them but you never know.

No rush on ours Steve, just let us know what we owe buddy, life comes first!!

Time frame for everyone so that you all know where I stand:

Today -- all boxes inside, outer boxes opened -- I am going to probably stay indoors most of this week.
Wednesday -- I have a drill call at 3, and a counseling session at 5.
Thursday -- group assignments due before group call at 6pm.
Friday -- I will start sorting all the boxes, everyone's quantities, I will probably have pr0n ready then.

As you all can see here, there is a severe heat advisory from Thursday through Saturday, so it will probably be Monday before I grab the boxes to send everyone's stuff out. This sucks because I bought some water to hike along a trail in Upland, but it's way too hot for that until at least Sunday.

Is it hot and humid, or just hot? I’ll take just hot any day over the humidity we get here in Iowa.

We're in a semi-arid desert out here, but the humidity is still about 25% for all those heat advisory days (with a low point of 18%). It's definitely no picnic.

 

[Himewad]

Pffffft that’s nothing. We get humidity 70-90% on a regular basis here. It’s like swimming but no pool.

I lived in Virginia for a time where we had 92 degrees with 60% humidity. I would think it was no big deal but then I'd go into a place like Hooters and I'd find myself drenched in sweat.

Also not to trade one demon for another but when I lived in Vegas, I made the mistake of walking out when it was 119 degrees and 2% humidity. Holy fuck. I bought 3 liters of water at a corner store and when I got back to my apartment which was 3 blocks away, I drank half the water and the other half was warm already.

5 of the 17 boxes are now open so I put one roll of all the value chips in racks then put a dirty pile of 5 of each kind of chip. Here is your first official pr0n look of the Midnight Casino chips!!

Two more boxes opened (total of 7) everyone, I think we hit the jackpot. The bounty chips are aligned or at least they're close enough that it's extremely tough to notice any mistakes.

 

[Himewad]

Nice dealer button!

 

[SevenDollarPen]

Still taking sample orders?

 

[SteveHNo96]

Once I get the boxes open, I will be handling everyone's order in this priority:

1st priority: Everyone who ordered a set (>100 chips), the exception is @FordPickup92 since she would look good in a Tilted Kilt outfit (I kid, it's actually because her order is joined with @Ben8257 and will be shipped together, as a result) I bought post-it notes and extra bubble wrap just so I can mark for set orders. I got 17 boxes that each hold 400 chips so there's no reason to re-invent the wheel, they will be sent in those except of course for my chips which do not need a box.
2nd priority: Dealer button orders and orders <=100 chips
3rd priority: All sample sets.
4th priority: Any late orders.

DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT: I will be picking up the Priority Mail boxes on Monday, I am not risking anything crazy with 103 tomorrow, 105 Friday and 103 Saturday. Monday will be a nice much cooler 94.

I'd love to add a Dealer button, if you have an extra.
Thanks, Mark

I'm in a little bit of a bind. I actually have exactly one left I had planned to give to the designer, @p5woody. If he is willing to give you the one I planned to comp for him, I will let you buy the last one for an additional $4.70.

Update: all boxes are now open. I took the chips I am keeping for myself and I will be sorting everything out tomorrow with that crazy heat wave hitting us.

 

[SteveHNo96]

Latest Update:

I have taken my chips and put them in the 6 Bud Jones racks I have (until the Matsuis come in, of course)

I have started to sort some of the orders, I *think* I might be able to squeeze two of those boxes inside a LFRB, if that's the case, I'll ship them out that way. All the chips are wrapped in rolls of 25, I see no reason to break them open unless absolutely necessary (like the order of 142, I'll just leave 125 wrapped and open one roll instead of opening all of them)

I bought extra bubble wrap and kept all the padding (priority mail envelopes and paper) from the 17 boxes I got in, so that will be used to pad your boxes (because we all know how well the post office handles them)

I have 5 LFRB's right now. If these do fit, I will take care of the people who ordered 400-800 chips right away.

@joker80 has 400 chips plus 10 bounties and a DB, I will wrap the bounties and DB in bubble wrap if need be to get it to fit in a MFRB without a problem (since this one's going to Canada, I do need to save postage whenever possible)

If your order is:

>420 but <900 chips: I will try to fit it in a LFRB since I need two of the Sunfly boxes to pack them (unless specified you want two MFRB's, I know one of you said you did)
>100 but <=420 chips: I will put them in a MFRB set.
<100 chips: either a padded Priority Mail Envelope or I can send them first class.
ALL sample sets will be sent first class mail in a padded envelope unless you specifically ask for priority mail (except for @FordPickup92 who will probably have hers in a padded envelope inside of the LFRB that I'm sending to Ben.)

 

[SteveHNo96]

Today's update: Spent about an hour and change yesterday in the spare room sorting out chips. will finish the sets tomorrow.

@Ben8257, @sheikh617, @jja412, @Rbonus012, @240KAR, @joker80, @pltrgyst, @Chipnut, @justinreber, @TheBigTater and @charitycase -- the 11 of you are priority one. I have enough boxes in from Sunfly to box and pad your orders. @FordPickup92 -- normally you would be priority three, however, since your order is combined with Ben's, I will ship it with Ben's order this week. I will be picking up some boxes tomorrow and verifying final totals in the boxes I have. The 17 boxes I have are literally just enough to ship all of your full set orders.

@ovo, @RiverAce01 and @Himewad -- you are currently priority two. I will probably put some padding in a small priority mail box and send them out to you.

ALL sample set orders on post 1 and the friend buy (who is my friend Stacey in Canada) -- you are currently priority three. I will be sending those out after I deal with all the chip orders.

People who came in late -- you are priority four. I will sell you what I have left.

also, on a personal note, my trip to Florida has been delayed. The coach I am supposed to 1-on-1 with had a family emergency like 2 weeks ago and he hasn't returned and I remember when my mom died, I wasn't back on track until 3 weeks after that happened. So as a result, I will not be flying out August 6-10, but rather September 10-14 to learn 1-on-1 dating coaching skills and how to become a pickup artist or at least good enough to feel more like a success in the dating world.

I was hoping for another “Today’s Update”

Today's Update: I nearly got in an accident twice going to the post office to pick up some MFRB. to make things worse, Upland's post office was out of them, to try and alleviate my stress I went to the Kilt in Orange and succeeded in getting two MFRB's. I'm going to try to get some more out of Rancho Cucamonga tomorrow, barring that I will be ordering from the post office to get boxes in. (P.S. I found out my Kilt girl today had the same birthday as me, just in a different year. Needless to say we are kindred spirits)

Please note: I have a therapy appointment at 5 tomorrow and a drill call immediately after it at 6, so I may not do an update until Wednesday.

Everyone in priority one: I'm 99% sure your chips are sorted and in the boxes. I will do a final count as soon as I have the boxes to ship all of you out.

Priority two: your chips have been separated and earmarked for your delivery. I will ship those as soon as I have priority one sent out.

Priorities 3 and 4: the remaining chips are on my table and I will be making as many sample sets as I can with what I have left.

 

[SteveHNo96]

I need to get a tape dispenser but other than that, this shows you where I am standing with my chips at this time.

 

[sheikh617]

Thanks for your efforts. We're all excited to see these bad Larry's

The Rancho Cucamonga post office is like 7 miles away but it's twice as big as the Upland one so getting boxes shouldn't be a problem. If I fail, I currently have 5 LFRB and 2 MFRB and lots of padding from the freight in plus the bubble wrap, so what I'll do is get the biggest orders out first, then order some MFRB from usps.com =). I should be able to get in line and ask for the boxes if they're not on display. Either way, they will go out this week. I have no other engagements other than my therapy and drill call tomorrow and online call Thursday night.

Oh and @sheikh617, the chips going to you are in the lower right hand corner of the third picture. I picked yours and Ben's out first.

 

[SteveHNo96]

Today's Update: my therapist had a migraine and so she rescheduled for Sunday, all is clear until 6 with Jamie, my 30 year old bff and awesome drill girl. This one is important because it's my last confidence building call. After this I'm going to take on a really tough issue for me and that's coming back after a hard rejection. I will not be doing that task with Jamie because honestly I don't want her to see me when I get sad or upset.

I scored 6 more MFRB's and bought a tape gun from Office Depot. Tomorrow I will begin the process of wrapping your boxes. If I need more boxes, I will go get more.

Please let me know if you want your packages insured. I will be paper wrapping and they will be in boxes of 400 so if the outside box is damaged it isn't a big deal. The US Postal Service allows insurance up to $5,000 but for the Canadian package, I have to declare its value on a customs form.

Things are going well and tomorrow begins the wrapping process!

 

[Chipnut]

All sounds great!! Best of luck to you in your endeavors. No need for the insurance; it’s already included in the flat rate priority price. Let me know when to send over the funds for shipping and hopefully we can have these in the table for this weekend! Thanks again.
