12/28/06 update: The first wave of orders are all out the door. Nine people have expressed interest in buying 9 samples sets, and two have already paid for the chips.
The original GB was a purchase of a a 200-chip set for $78 to my door from Apache. The 200-chip set (75 x $5, 75 x $25, 25 x $100 and 25 x $500) was then broken down into sample sets consisting of 3 x $5, 3 x $25, 1 x $100 and 1 x $500.
We would need to sell 25 sample sets to sell the whole 200-chip set, but 800over has offerred to buy the last 16 sample sets. 800over would get the wooden storage box and the dealer button with his order.
So now the question is, Mok, gameduck, kjelon, texred, jrhood9 (HPT) and bigslick, are you still interested in buying this set? (Dwight87 and Esection have already paid for these samples.)
And 800over, are you willing to buy the above chip set? If so, do you want me to cut-off new purchases, because I did get a PM from someone who is interested in getting another one... Lemme know.
From
apache's wesbite:
The chips are are made by Cartamundi. Cartamundi also made the chips & cards used in the movie. There is no difference between these chips and the chips used in the movie. The chips are very heavy and weigh 14 grams each. They have the look, sound, & feel of solid clay chips. Out of all the affordable sets we sell this is the best!
These are
not the actual chips used in the movie.
If you want your own 200-chip set, order it from Josh at Apache. But if you only want a sample set, respond to this thread.
Price
200-chip set: $78 shipped to my door / 25 sample sets = $3.12 for an 8-chip sample set.
First class postage within the US (8-chip sampe) = $1.83
Extra to cover misc. expenses (bubble mailers, etc.) = $0.55
Total US amount 8-chip sample = $5.50
Postage to Canada is $4.25 for Global Priority Mail, so the total to Canada is $7.92.
For orders outside US/Canada check prices for the Global Priority Mail flat rate envelope (small)...its generally about the same as the price to Canada, but will change for some.
800 over, your cost would be 16 x $3.12 = $49.92 plus actual postage to Canada. We can talk about how to reduce this amount offline.
