I was bored a while back and decided to try to get Abiatti to talk with us (ok - well, just me) about doing a group buy with us. I sent the following:

I am a member of an online Poker Chip group in the United States. I would like to know if you would produce a custom set of chips for a small group (30 -60) of us - I think we could get an order of 50,000 minimum - up to 200,000. This email is the starting point and we would like to know if this is something you would do. I know some companies aren't willing to deal with the public and will only deal with casinos - I can assure you this would be done in a professional manner and would not be a headache. We have done numerous "group buys" in the last year and know how the process works and how to keep things running smoothly. These chips would be for personal use and not for resale.
Thanx in advance for your reply.

Phil Lecuyer



Ok - so it was a little aggressive in quantity - but I think it got their attention - which is what I was trying to do. Here's what I got today:



Dear Mr. Phil Lecuyer,>>

Wow, Phil. You have piqued my interest. The abbiati.com website has some amazing products showcased. Really unusual stuff. I especially like the various plaques. Especially the oval ones. For those of you who haven't seen the abbiati product line yet, do yourself a favor. Here's a little tease:

[DrBullMoose]

Wow! The chips look incredible! What kind of price poinnt are we looking at? Not necessary to give a firm number just a range to see if my desires can fit my wallet

[Quads]

Wow, what a great looking chip.
Based on cost and design, you certainly have my interest.

[DrBullMoose]

Heck, their entire website has incredible products! The jetons are great

[PhilTheThrill14]

I don't have any kind of price point yet. I'm taking it slow with asking for particulars at this point.

I will be asking about price shortly - once I get a feel for how many people are interested.

I already want to switch my vote from 'no idea' to 'buy a full set'. Their chips are stunning.
