edit 5/3/12 - The tokens are now in stock and available  Go to ArcadeReplay.com to order.  Thanks!

---------------------------------

I just wanted to let you know that I have just ordered remints of some of my older classic tokens!  They should arrive in about 2 weeks at which time I will make them avaialble in the store at www.arcadereplay.com.

MAME Tokens - I ordered 5000 - they might go fast if my poll thread is right.  


2010 tokens - I ordered 4000. These were very popular, I suspect they won't last more than a few months.


2006 Tokens - I ordered 2000 and will probably not be ordering more for a long time when they are gone.  


2005 tokens - Again, I ordered 2000 and will probably not be ordering more for a long time when they are gone.


I will update this post when the orders have arrived and are available for ordering.

Thanks!
Dave

looks sweet!

Is there a web site anywhere where we can see all BYOAC tokens ever made?

Excellent, looking forward to ordering some!  Thanks for doing this!  Have you ever considered offering a combo pack that is a somewhat random collection of the various designs (or 25 of each, something like that)?  I have definite favorites but I also like the idea of having a variety.

They are standard .984" (25mm) tokens, same a Chuck E Cheese tokens.  Not sure of the weight but since 2004 no one has ever told me they won't work with a standard token mech.

That's a good idea for my website - I will see what I can do.  For now I can post them here.  In addition to what we have above, I have made  - in order below: 2004 (The first ever,out of stock) 2007 (a few left in stock,) Arcade Memories (not a BYOAC Token - still in stock)

I'd be interested in a grab bag as well. Mix n match designs as well as brass and nickel. I've got a big ass bag of random tokens, but it's always neat to pull out one of the BYOAC coins.

The 'sampler' request comes up every few years, and I am sad to say there is just no way for me to accommodate it for small numbers of tokens. 

I need to buy a minimum of 10,000 tokens to get the favorable pricing that I need to make them affordable to my customers.  If I was to offer small volumes (say 50 or less) of various tokens many people would order less and it would take me years to break even on my investment.  The way I handle this is to offer 100 packs as a minimum for reprints and 200 for new issues. I realize that I probably turn away some potential smaller orders by doing it this way but ultimately this way works best for me.

I see this approach is a necessary evil to enable tokens to be available to the community at all.  If I can't recover my investment fast enough, I don't have much incentive to order at all.  I know brass prices make my tokens seem expensive, but look at it this way - at my 200-lot pricing, a token costs less than a quarter and is, in my view, 1000 times cooler.    ;)

Oh - I appreciate the feedback, and keep it coming!  I might sound a bit defensive because I hate that I need to do it this way.

I will definatly be buying some.  Kind of got me hooked on collecting these things just for my own personal pleasure.

I've missed out on a lot of them but so far I have 2004, 2006, and 2007.

Thanks for sharing all the pics!

In my opinion, 2005 followed by 2004 are the nicest.  Will you be getting the 2005 in nickle, or brass only?

Maybe I am missing something, but you are already ordering 4 types of coins. So why not allow people to order 100/200 mixed coins (25/50 each)? If you have some leftovers from previous print runs, you could get rid of those as well. Asking a premium for these mixed sets seems appropriate. Oh and I would definitely buy 200 mixed.

Not even close to sold out.....

I got a few orders overnight, so I THINK the site is working, but I will need to check when I get home tonight.  Could I bother you for a screenshot of the error?  Are you ordering from the US?  I haven't received a foreign order in a while, maybe I have some foreign shipping module issues.

yea, I getting the same error on the "100 .984" Brass MAME tokens" the red "****" come up and at the bottom it says "Products marked with **** dont exist in desired quantity in our stock.
Please alter the quantity of products marked with (****), Thank you".

The 2005 and 2010 BYOAC Tokens don't have that error.

Just placed an order.  Got 100 each in brass of the 2005, 2010, Arcade Memories, and Mame tokens.  So 400 total.  Ups my count to 700.  Hmmm..   That's probably not enough.  NEED TO ORDER MORE.  Thanks again for this great service man.

  • I am no Jedi
I already have 100s of 2004 BYOAC so I got:

100 .984" Brass 2005 BYOAC Tokens
100 .984" Brass 2006 BYOAC Tokens
100 .984" Brass MAME Tokens

Don't really need them but I like the arcade cabinet art on these.

Thanks Santoro!

Got my 800 tokens today, too. Quick turnaround as usual.

They seem brighter than they used to be. Of course that could just be the tarnish on my previous purchases and my memory.

Thanks, Dave.
