Title. Currently looking to complete/expand a Key West set I picked up. Curious if they will still be available after CPC changes hand sometime later this year

@dennis63 owns the Key West design. I hope he will keep ordering more chips in the future.

@Thomacetti should also know. I was just talking to him about these chips yesterday.

Yes, I plan to continue offering Key West chips. Our latest order from Classic has arrived and is being sorted, checked and counted to confirm what we have in stock.

The number of chips in the order will help me set the price. Classic sends some extras. Any flaws are removed. (That's less than one half of 1 percent.) We put the chips (and their cost) into the inventory. The price here on PCF is calculated very simply. It's (the total cost of all chips, older and newer) divided by (the number of chips. ) Retail prices to non-PCF members are higher, so we make a small profit on those, and on other items like cards, racks, buttons.

So Key Wests here are like buying chips in a group buy.

When I know those numbers, I'll post a 2025 price list here on PCF. Right now, 2025 prices look like they'll go up here by about 10 cents per chip. That that's my wild-ass guess.

Oh I didn’t know you can get discounts order through PCF, so thx for pointing that out. Found the pricing page now. Sadly those prices are no good now, will see what 2025 looks like or maybe someone will find my WTT post

Interested in some error chips

Interested in some error chips

Hard to tell if you are joking, but...

Few as they are, error chips can't and won't be sold. If they make it out into the wild, they'll end up on eBay, and someone will buy them and complain to me or malign Key Wests or Classic Poker Chips in general. That would hurt the value of all the Key Wests out there, so that can't happen.

As a company, Classic Poker Chips is known for outstanding quality and excellent quality control. There are a couple of error chips in a shipment -- somewhere around 1/4 of 1 percent (or less), and Classic always sends a few "extras" to cover that. In this latest shipment, there were several denominations where every chip was flawless.

When I receive the chips, I check them for appearance (front, back and rolling edge), and literally look at every single chip. Then each chip is placed on glass and we attempt to spin it on each side. If there is any spin at all, that chip is pulled out and is not sold. Checking chips takes about 90 minutes per 1,000 chips. Checking pays off, because we always have a few extras, which can reduce the cost per chip. That savings is passed on here.

Flawed chips are broken in half so they won't accidentally go out. (I use two pairs of pliers for that.) To date, we've made over 80,000 new chips with ASM or Classic Poker Chips over the years.

Was not joking, but understood; and I’m sure your customers appreciate the commitment to quality .

If you ever change your mind though, I’d love a single error chip to use as a card capper (incorrect spots/denoms more so than spinners). And I don’t even remember what my eBay account is - haven’t used it in over a decade.
