Chips: 4,044 | | | Protege Pre-Buy: Exclusive Participant Offer (Expires 9/7/06) Exclusive Protege Participant Offer
As a show of appreciation by Sidepot.com to all ChipTalk.net members who were involved over the past six months in creating and refining this award winning clay poker chip line, a limited time special pre-buy price (~35% off planned retail pricing) is being offered for 30 days (August 8th thru September 7th). This pre-buy offer is available only to "Participants" of the Protege Inlay Design Contest on ChipTalk.net. A "Participant" is defined as anyone who: submitted edge spot configuration colors, submitted an inlay design, was eligible and voted in any Protege poll, or posted feedback to any contestants. Proof of "Participation" in the Protege contest will be required before orders are shipped, so unless you are a known CT member, it is recommended that you reply to your order confirmation email with a link to an example of your participation. COUPONS MAY NOT BE USED in conjunction with this special offer.
Create your own set of Vegas quality casino chips from our brand new Protege casino chip line. You choose how many of each denomination. You may order anywhere from a minimum of 300 up to a maximum of 1000 chips in total.
************** ********************* *************** Two chip weight options available
Standard weight (~9 gram average) for $0.79/chip: Order 9g chips here
Heavy weight (~10 gram average) for $0.89/chip: Order 10g chips here
************** ********************* *************** Pertinant pre-buy details:- This is more of a pre-buy offer as a show of appreciation, rather than a group buy, meaning there is no minimum sum order threshold needed for the chips to be made. They will be made regardless of whether there are 300 chips pre-ordered, or 30,000, or 0.
- Funds for all pre-buy orders will be collected at time of order
- It is anticipated that pre-buy orders will ship in October.
- There is a 30-day pre-order window (August 8th - September 7th)
- Being a pre-buy where the orders occur now and the chips ship in a few months, samples are not available.
- There is a minimum order of 300 and a maximum of 1000 chips per Protege contest participant. Any orders outside these parameters will be automatically cancelled.
- This pre-buy offer is available only to "Participants" of the Protege Inlay Design Contest on ChipTalk.net.
- As is standard Sidepot Gaming Company policy, anyone not absolutely elated with their chips has 15 days from receipt of delivery to return them for a full refund.
- Acceptable methods of payment are Visa, MC, AMEX, and Discover.
- COUPONS MAY NOT BE USED in conjunction with this special offer. Any orders that use coupons will automatically be cancelled.
... and if you haven't seen them already, here are the Protege chips:
Thanks again for your participation in the Protege contest!

Chips: 5,100 | | | Re: Protege Pre-Buy: Exclusive Participant Offer Will it EVER stop? I mean, just when I have way more chips than a person NEEDS, I see yet another design that I must have -- honestly I get the whole female shoe thing now -- doesn't matter how many pairs you have, there is always another pair and it MAKES YOU SO HAPPY TO BUY THEM!  |

Chips: 5,286 | | | Re: Protege Pre-Buy: Exclusive Participant Offer We need 34 people to order sample sets in order to get to the 300 chip limit. Who wants to start booking orders?
** I would do it, but my capitalistic nature would require me to charge more than the sidepot price for the nine chips. I am sure we can find someone a little more communistic (or at least a socialist) |

It is anticipated that pre-buy orders will ship in October. | If your intent is to review a sample set in order to buy a full set, you won't be able to get the discount on the full set.
If you're talking about getting sample set for the sake of a sample set, then that will work.
If it's possible, I'd like to see at least some pics of a real sample set. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
