New public hybrid mold from Tina 39mm (5 Viewers)

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

This is my "back of the envelope" estimate.

$1026 - 2700 43mm Web mold hybrids (0.38 each)
$ 158 - label fee
$ 250 - estimated shipping (10c per chip)
$ ? - anything else?

$1434 - Total - $0.531 per chip.

Seem reasonable?

Oooooh baby! These look great.

Also @elemeno you are not comparing apples to apples there. The prices in Sean's post are before shipping from China. When you buy cards mold at 40 cents in a group buy, that is after shipping from China.

So I will repeat my question from above:

Question for any of you that have recently ordered Tina chips and had them direct shipped, about what did you pay for the shipping? Around 10 cents a chip? More? What size was your order? I'm thinking about ordering 2500-3000 chips in the 43mm size.

2000 chips is about $240

3000 chips is about $295

but that is based on 39mm chips. Shipping goes by weight. I would imagine you would be fairly close at $270- $300

I knew that . See my post above yours - I wrote that Justin’s buys still save people money because of economies of scale when shipping from China to the US. In fact, looks like he just confirmed it.

Thank you Justin. I'll budget for $300 until I get the exact amount from Tina. Makes sense that 2700 43mm might weigh more than 3000 39mm.

Absolutely. A large GB will typically employ shipping by boat, which if I recall from my own GB a couple years ago, was around 4-5 cents per chip. Even after reshipping, you come out ahead on cost. But you have a much longer wait time than if you employ direct shipping.

I can't wait. I think I am going to stick to one small set for this order. Only 1200 chips but with a bank of 15k. I'm excited!

 

[spartan037]

Great another set of samples I need to get. Is it possible to get them through Broken Arrow? Or will there be a separate thread?

Broken Arrow group buy will be up on February 15th. It will include Web Mold. It will include an option to purchase samples

Might be interested, would like to see the samples.

Maybe some custom fees depending on how it's filed for shipping/ import.

I’m guessing all hybrids have a label fee? Is it $x per denomination/different label or ~$158 flat?

@SeanGecko will you run a GB for the web mold?

 

[SeanGecko]

Wow that’s way better than cards mold at $0.40 + reshipping. Hats off to you if you sell these without a profit. Maybe you’re the Robin Hood of Chinese ceramics….or perhaps the benevolent king.
.

I am the Anarchist of the PCF not Robin Hood. I have done a group buy before. It was for the cards mold which is one of the reason why I am KING OF THE CARDS MOLD. I did over 100,000 chips in total. Now Justin and other can do it. I don't have the time or desire to do another one.

I prefer doing it direct because I have only custom designs. If many folks are getting the same design they can spread the label design cost out.

So I will go only direct and maybe a small group buy with PCF friends.

Can you be a King and an Anarchist at the same time?

No that's why I think the king title is so funny.
I hate the aristocracy.

I’m not sure I understand Tina’s quote “label cost usd158 (u can collect 2 sets, label cost usd158)”

Does that mean 1 label set is $80, as we have seen before?

Yes. That’s what it means. If you get one set it’s $158. If you get two sets it’s $158. Three sets $316, etc

I was also curious about that since I know Justin's sales have been quoting $80.

We rounded up to $80. As long as we have an even number of different sets it works out

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

So you are saying that if I place one order with Tina, my art fee is $158. But if I place an order for two completely different sets, (completely different art) the fee is still $158? Seems weird, but okay...

Maybe I will see if someone else in the Houston area wants to piggyback on with my order. Like Sean, I've done my big GB, so probably not interested in doing another one. Not right now at least. Plus I don't want to wait for "boat" shipping of 15-30K chips.

 

[SeanGecko]

So I have used the same design but I have multiple sets. It was still 158. I ordered a set on the hat&cane 5¢-$20 1550 and the one charge for $158.

 

[SeanGecko]

Also my wife has given me preferential treatment in the past when it came to the label cost part.
I know weird right.

It is a little odd. But it is what it is.

Nah. Go big or go home.

3 small sets of 1200 chips. Fixed it for ya.

I purchased direct 2385 chips (80 of those were 43mm, the rest 39mm) December 2022 and was charged:

$248 shipping
$59.63 taxes
$158 label fee

Chip cost rounded was about 52¢ per chip.

Seems pretty consistent.

Thanks.

Shipping is cheap if you live in SoutheastAsia Region

About 40 usd for 1500 chips limit

I used local China reshipper services

So a Set of 1,000 39mm will cost about

Chips $320
Label $158
Shipping $40

So about 52c each, not bad if doing solo

But if say doing a GP for 3 person x 1000 chip each

Chips $320
Label $52.67
Shipping $26.67

Cost will reduce to 40c per chip

 

[SeanGecko]

They fit in the Chipco racks and the cheaper ones I got off Amazon/eBay a decade plus ago

43mm above fits the rack I got off of @Spinettis Gaming

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

Do you have these in hand now? Barrel height about the same as the Cap-Dash chips?

I do. Same as the Cap-Dash

left on the bottom is cards mold and on its right is the Greek mold.
