REASONS FOR THE INCREASE
How we determine our costs and prices
Our chip cost is simply the average cost of all the new, mint, untouched chips we have in stock, bought at different times in the past, when prices were lower. That means our average chip price can be less than a full custom chip. We've also ordered lots of new chips at today's price, so our average cost per chip has gone up.
Paypal
Most of our customers never added for Paypal fees, and we really appreciate those who did. But Paypal is killing us, and adds an average of about four cents per chip to the our cost when the customer doesn't add the fees. Now, we simply figured that four cents into our price, and offer it back to you if you want to pay by check or money order.
Other cost increases:
In the past year, the cost of shipping, boxes, tape, bubble wrap, labels, and just about everything else has gone up. I know you already feel that in your own budget.
KEY WEST AS A SEMI-CUSTOM HIGH-END CHIP
Key West chips are really a semi-custom chip, and I've always thought they shouldn't cost as much as a full-custom clay casino chip. That's why we're offering them for 23 cents per chip less than a full-custom chip. They're ideal for the person who likes this classic design anyway, or the person who has a large collection of Key Wests, or always wanted one.
The good folks now running Classic Poker Chips are making lots of new chips for us, with more planned for the future. Even in the first few days, they've been amazing to work with, and I look forward to lots of good things.
We'll have some really nice surprises for Key West fans in the future, and I'm working on specials and sales for PCF members.
