Custom Dealer Button- Probs with Cheaper2U

jldecarlo · #1 (**permalink**) 04-20-2005, 09:18 PM

I think I'm on a buying spree.
I just ordered custom chips, I've committed to some Pharo Paulsons, and now I'm looking at a custom dealer button.

I saw info about Cheaper2U on Homepokertourney.com. They make nice clear lucite/acrylic custom dealer buttons:
http://www.homepokertourney.com/dealer-buttons.htm

I thought a design like

would go well with my new chips when they arrive.

I emailed them, and spoke with them on the phone. The whole thing was a little weird. They wanted me to mail them a cd with the image files on them. Finally they got the images attached to an email, but that was difficult. They were supposed to get back to me, but haven't. Now I can't get a hold of them.

So . . .

Has anybody ordered from them?

Ever ordered a custom dealer button?

What about a Pharo or ChipTalk button?

No experience with those guys.
I did buy a custom card protector (the one pictured in my avatar) from these guys:

and was extremely happy with the entire process.

I too bought a card protector from www.dealerbuttons.com.

I may get their dealer/blinds buttons in the future too. The process was a little bit of a pain, but it was christmas time and im sure they were busy. I made my order on Dec 8th and recieved it Jan 15th.

Im sure you could have that design imprinted into a 2inch button and it would look nice and would hold up a little better then a acrylic one.

These will most likely be in the Store, very very nice bottons indeed.

Sounds like this could be the start of yet another poker related collectable. Not sure if casino's have logo'ed dealer buttons but would be a fun thing to collect if there were some nice unique ones out there.

Ten - looks like another idea for the Chiptalk store! Chiptalk dealer buttons!

Well, maybe I'm just too impatient. I heard from them today and sent them some money. I should get proofs to approve in a day or two and will keep you posted.

Frankly, I consider this a gamble. I may not get a button I like, but their products on homepokertourney.com look nice.
I like the look of the lucite better than the metal button mentioned above, but it is nice too.

Here it is, about 5 weeks after I ordered it. It is pretty nice, but I haven't played with it yet.

I have been playing with the 3" dealer puck and I like it alot. It is easy to see and feels solid.

It's very nice indeed. They did a good job matching the glass/bottle motif from your chips.

Can I ask how big it is? And of course, the obvious question.... how does it look it look with your chips?
