Can you makea new whole set with all denoms in the smooth blanks using this artwork? If so, depending on the price I may want a 300 or 500 set.

Wow, these really do look nice! I might have to rethink my Chipco-bias.

Hi Locutios-

This set was actually created by Brent at Lynbark Designs. I have asked him about availability for other orders, and he said that he can make some adjustments to the artwork so they are unique (not the same as the original customer's chips), and you can order as many as you like on the smooth chips. You will also have to ask him about the pricing. Please send me a PM if you need his website or contact info.

Thanks,
Gene

My wife has given the ultimate ultimatum on these chips...they must be sold or they will meet the most dreaded fate possible...Monday's garbage pickup.

If she had a chiptalk account, and we still had the rep system, this decision would certainly be worth some negs!

Anyway, please make any offer to save these chips! We do not have any more textured chips, so we can't add more denoms. These would be great for a nickel limit game, for games where all the chips are the same denom, for letting your kids play with chips without having to worry about losing any, for target practice, chip towers, and on and on...literally hundreds of different uses for these chips! (Ok, maybe it's only in the tens

).

Please, somebody save these chips!

Thanks,
Gene

Hey Gene- Im not sure you can do this- but.. if you can- here's a thought I had awhile ago-
do an auction in your forum- sort of like Ebay- highest bid gets em.

I'm not sure if this has been addressed or if it can be done- but if it can this may be a good way to sell these- at least someone on CT will be happy getting a deal and there may be some good fun with a CT auction

I'm not sure if I can do an auction or not...I guess this is sort of a "PM Auction!". So far, two bids, both very close to each other (I'm not going to say how much the offers are...since I'm curious to see the range!). Since I do have offers, I'm not going to let this go until Monday when I hear the garbage truck coming...these chips will go to the highest offer as of 8pm pacific time tonight.

I did receive one question about whether more denoms could be added at a later date...we have no intention of selling these textured chips again in the future. Anyone interested in a set of these with similar artwork on smooth chips should contact Brent at Lynbark Designs. If you need his contact info, please let me know by PM.

Thanks,
Gene

daum- if I knew that could be done MAYBE I wouldnt have jumped ship so fast!!!
hmmm- I always wanted to do that- maybe a weekly or twice monthly auction- highest bidder-
even thought about having an old timers auction- and a newbie auction only open to newbies--
ah jeez- I'm learning here- this is threadjacking right?
Sorry Gene-

Well- there's some GOOD ideas for ya Gene for YOUR forum LOL-
I think it would be alot of fun to have this.
Go for it Gene

abcgiftsandawards · #20 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 04:24 PM

I think I will have to use those ideas Joe!

I'll just have to figure out what to auction!

Current high offer's chiptalk name starts with the letter T (only one offer has been made at this point by someone starting with the letter T, so everyone else who made an offer will know that they are not the high at this point.

Thanks,
Gene
