THE MINI GROUP BUY IS NOW CLOSED

UPDATE 5/12: All future non credit card payments should go to miracleguo2@gmail.com instead of miracleguo@gmail.com. I have reached the $500 limit on the free account.

Because the deadline is approaching fast, if you live the US, consult the table on the original post for your final cost. You may simply paypal and in the note specify your breakdown.

I am now able to take ODD LOT ORDERS as well as any mix & match for the 14 designs. You may add or change your order around as you wish, but please let me know as soon as possible. I will send you each an invoice email containing your breakdown shortly after 5/13/05 Midnight for a final confirmation.

I have mentioned this once in the official Pharaoh's Club Paulson Group Buy thread, but I will be organizing a small mini group buy for those interested in only buying a small sample set or want some odd lots to your existing order.

Here are the terms:

1) The chips will be $0.87 + approximate shipping to me $0.05* + shipping to you. Shipping to you varies if you want tracking/insurance, but for small sample sets under 40 chips, I would be using the USPS Flat rate priority mail envelope* @ $3.85.

Example: a sample set of 7 chips (1 of each denom) would cost 7 x ($0.87 + 0.05) + 3.85 = $10.29.

*Shipping to me will be slightly above $0.04, and I don't know how many orders will come to me, so I hope you all don't mind me rounding it up to $0.05.

**This is the easiest way for me (so I don't have to spend extra money on packaging). Rest assured it will be padded inside for chip protection.

2) As for payment logistics, I have set up a personal PayPal account where the I won't get charged for receiving payment (miracleguo@gmail.com). I can only receive up to $500 total and it must be paid via Direct Bank Transfer or from Available Balance (I CANNOT TAKE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS). The other alternative is to send me a money order/cashier's check, which I will provide the address to send to through email.

3) Please order the chips in 7 chip sets (1 of each denom, 3 of each denom, 5 of each denom, etc.)

4) I will be accepting orders for the NCV chips as well. If you have already ordered from me, you will receive an email from me with further details. IMPORTANT NOTE: I will ship all existing orders for the Blue Chip as the new $0.25 chip for a complete DENOMINATED SET unless you tell me you want the NCV chip instead. However, if you choose ANY NCV chip within your sample set, it must be a complete sample set of 7 chips (Example: 3 sets of NCV chips (21 chips) + 2 sets of denom chips (14 chips) for a total of 35 chips). If you have placed an order from me, you will receive an email shortly. If you do not receive an email, contact me: miracleguo2@gmail.com.

Email me (miracleguo2@gmail.com) ASAP about your order. I am only taking orders until 5/14/05 when the official group buy ends.

Pricing Chart (up to 40 chips) - email me for orders more than 40 chips as shipping will go up. I have included pricing for PayPal credit card payments for those who do not wish to/cannot do direct bank transfer or available balance from PayPal. PayPal charges me $0.30+2.9% to receive credit card orders, so the pricing reflects this exactly.

IMPORTANT: Payment for the 2 types of payments are to different email accounts as shown below:

FREE PAYPAL: miracleguo2@gmail.com
CREDIT PAYPAL: guo.shou@gmail.com

As always, EMAIL ME @ miracleguo2@gmail.com and tell me what you wish to order.

I've gotten several questions about Canadian orders. Shipping to Canada will be $4 for 1-20 chips, $7 up to 40 chips. The prices below DO NOT reflect these prices. I have also recently found out that there's an additional 1% "Cross-Border Fee" (https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/we...y-xborder-fees) charged by PayPal. Email me for a quote.

My interest in this would be to add some backup extra chips to accomodate for inevitable loss, theft, or breakage. I'm not interested in ordering one of each denomination, more like 5 each of the $5, $25, $100, $500, and $1000 chips (25 total). Would that be acceptable?

[Nanook]

Thanks for putting this together. I'm in for 2 of each.

I'm assuming that we should figure out the proper amt and just paypal you . I will also send an e-mail. It might be a good idea to confirm that this is the right procedure. If not, explain in detail what you would rather have us do.

As far as

I'm pretty sure that this is one of the main reasons Ledavator is doing this, (the other would be sample sets). I'm sure that there are others that will want a few extras without paying the full retail price later.

That is completely fine. That's one of the main reasons people would want to buy from the mini group buy.

So far, including 35 chips from you, I have heard from 5 people with interest for total of 91 chips. Not bad for a first day.

Please see the new updated first thread for a pricing list.

Just paid for some, I hope we get enough to get at least 25 of each on this.

So far I have 8 orders totaling 168 chips (24 of each denom). This puts me in a predicament... I need more orders!!! I want 10 of each denom myself...

I was expecting a lot more orders to come through and based my estimated $0.92/chip cost (including shipping from Ten to me) accordingly. If I only order 175 chips, it would cost me $0.9452. Need I say I NEED MORE ORDERS!!!

Did I mention that beautiful chips tend to disappear at games?

[bubbafry]

I was going to order 3-4 per denom (21-28 ) but I am still waiting on my bank transfer to my paypal account.

[Wooderson]

Is this good for the non-denoms as well now?

[Nanook]

How does this news about the blue 25¢ chip affect our little mini group buy?
