I know italianstang on 2+2 got some (I think the're pretty ugly, even with the hottie on the inlay)... I'm considering getting in touch with them to see if they'll make blank chips with differing edgespots for me in the future. Anyone have an email or phone number for them?

I read somewhere in the last week that they no longer will sell blanks. It may have been in the Blue Chip group buy thread on THP.

This info was posted one of ITs old 2+2 threads (out of date but..):

They don't have a website because they are too dumb to know what a website is. Their email address is bluechipcompany@aol.com but sending emails to that address is risky, because they are idiots. Good luck. As a minor update, last Thursday that moron piece of sh*t Dave Endy called me and said that he sent my chips FedEx. So I should have them in a day or two, I will put up pictures as soon as I get them.

I wonder if they've smartened up any in the past few months.

I know plenty of buyers that were very happy with service and product. It just seems that the bad stories come from very small orders (comparitively). I'd just say that they need increase staff to handle the public sales.

A couple of my friends were happy with their blue chips that they ordered, but I wasn't that impressed. Like usual the inlay wasn''t centered on a few of the chips.

Hey everybody. LONG time lurker of all the chip boards. First time poster. I have had a custom set of Blue Chips for about 6 months. I love 'em. They are exactly what I was looking for. Edge-spots, colors, feel, etc. (I will post pics soon since I have broken my posting cherry!!)

I found out about them 1-1/2 years ago on my eternal quest for a custom set. I looked them up in the phone book and talked to Dave. He's definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I knew it would be a long time to wait from our conversations. About 6 months from design approval to delivery.

My suggestion is to expect a long delivery, not so good customer service, and a guy that sounds like Gomer Pyle. (I do a great Dave Endy impersonation). If you know this going into it and can handle all this chaos...IT IS WORTH IT.
