Is this two bros pizza or artichoke?

Neither, it was a 23 3rd ave…now gone.

wise.com.... its my preferred method of transferring money internationally.

@kk405 are you able to advise what payment options will be available? will this be a paypal/shopify store or all via PMs?

wise is DA BOMB!

I've actually never been. On the pizza bucket list though. This would be a great excuse to get there! Would have to get there like 3pm to make sure we get a table, however...

I went to NYC many years ago to see relatives and my main goal was to try the pizza. My cousin took me to his favorite spot and I was ruined to pizza back in CA. Searched everywhere for NY pizza. Confirmed that you cannot get comparable pizza in CA. You can find good pizza, but just not the same.

@Colquhoun If this is the place I'm thinking of, many a night grabbing a slice before heading to Coney Island High for a show or record shopping in the area. Fun times.....

I remember we had a cab driver trying to start a fight with someone at a red light.

My NYC Checklist:
1. Eat pizza
2. Purchase fireworks in Chinatown (smuggle back on a plane)
3. Buy a fake Rolex
4. Meal in little Italy
5. Get a hot dog
6. Witness cab driver violence

I loved the guy selling fake Rolex watches on the street. My sister was with me and asked him if they were real. He looked at me and I nodded yes.

Recently I have found wire transfer to work remarkably well, with large transfers clearing in one day, sometimes the same day. Just an option for some.

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

An extremely painful process to collect and then disburse to all the states, but I believe I am required to do so...

Jim with The Chiproom doesn't collect sales tax and I'm pretty sure his sales top even this one. Maybe see if you can get some information. At worst, you should only have to collect for sales to your own state. States are starting to crack down more and more on internet sales, but it's still a fairly gray area.

2. drive to Hoboken stay at W there by the Path train to Manhattan
3. walk to Bleeker St. then drinks at Blind Tiger because why not!

@kk405 Let me add that I work for a major CPA firm, and while my personal area is income and franchise tax, I know enough about sales tax that I could do a little research for you and possibly check with a colleague or two. If you have an accountant who is telling you that you have to collect, I'd be interested to know what they are basing that on. So feel free to PM me if you want to discuss. I'd really hate to see you go to all that trouble when I don't think you need to.

Interesting question- I had to look. I am totally not a tax lawyer, but it appears there are some thresholds.

Yeah, an article like this gives a very high level overview of what I was referring to. I wasn't going to get into technical terms like nexus in the main thread here. There are too many factors to consider to give a quick and dirty answer. Suffice to say you (Ken) should not just blindly assume you need to collect tax without research or reliable professional advice.

 

[Carnth]

I will PM all buyers and arrange for payment. Payment method will be flexible using Zelle, PayPal (F&F only), Google Pay, Venmo, and wire transfer. You can even split payment between multiple platforms.

I'll be the crypto guy asking about crypto.... <ahem>

No crypto?

USDC works great.
Works anywhere the internet does.
Transfer takes minutes, not hours or days.
Receive any amount for free.
Send any amount, transaction fees are less than $5 (free is using Coinbase to Coinbase sends)
"Cash out" USDC to your bank account for free at Coinbase.
USDC does not go up or down in value, Coinbase guarantees to cash out 1 USDC for $1

Also, I just want to say that these chips are fire.
And the "indirect sunlight" photos are (chef's kiss).

I agree 100%. Has been for years.

Sadly last night our furnace went out and I’ve incurred a $4500 bill that eats up my chip money for the year, so once again I’ll have to sit by and watch as others’ chip dreams are fulfilled. 2023 is sucking already.

 

[cpac54]

All this talk of a chip pick-up meet up directly in NYC has me thinking long weekend trip.

Direct flight from Zürich is apparently only $400

Pizza Wagon in Sherman oaks is giving it his best. Pizza man moved from Brooklyn 4 years ago.

I advise against this

your neighbors will thank you

These chips are awesome!

Believe me, Ken is very very aware what is involved with international shipping.
He has been reshipping countless boxes for me over the years with a perfect record (shipping, packaging, custom forms, delivery, …).

How you want to ship is up to the buyer, that sword cuts two ways (premium courier, insure real value and pay the big overhead or take financial risk when lost or damaged).

I’m dead serious when I say that picking them up in NY will be my safest and cheapest option.

Thank you for the information.

Do you have any guess what the shipping, taxes and import duties will be for shipping one of these sets to Europe?

I always thaugt it would be just shipping, a few € on duty and german sale taxes of about 19% of the value.

 

[EmptyPocs]

I just want 200pc NCV's (Arc Yellow):
do i really have to buy a base set (@ $2430; which will just go (uselessly) on resale) to get these as a Ticket add on (@ 850(please) a rack)?

I was just trying to save your sets for others would that want them. Good intentions.
It seems silly I'd have to 'buy in' for a set and then dump it just to get the 2 racks I would like to have.

NCV isn’t a high supply chip I’m sure. And @kk405 mentioned it’s almost like a “loyalty program” getting the limited racks but you COULD try your luck at waiting I suppose and snagging them alone if any are left when this happens…

 

[EmptyPocs]

@JeepologyOffroad
I did an edit just as you posted.
It was all good intentions.
I was was trying to save extra off-road sales and trades for all.

 

[Taghkanic]

Are you only selling racks as add-ons, or would you sell a rack on its own? (I’m interested in the blue $1s.)
