The mint holds the dies for the buyer (in this case me.) Business-wise, I could not make the dies available to anyone else untill all of my Tokens are gone, lest someone else produces a batch and competes. I would have been screwed for trying to help out the group.
I think the fair thing would be to allow key people to use them (the winning artists, Saint, me) after the original batch sells.
I can't make them available to everyone because I would need to be on the phone with the mint every other day giving permission for someone to order their lot of 1000. To give you an idea of how much of a problem this will be, six people have asked for access to the dies today alone.
And frankly, I don't think giving an opinion or two in a thread entitles anyone to use them. I think that should be reserved for the people who worked hard on them.

I have done this in the past and it worked great. Registration is free, but for the $43.50 tokens/shipping, it would cost an extra $3.95 to use their service.

PayingFast.com is BELLY UP. They tried to auction their business + domain name on eBay and got nowhere. They are closed to accepting new orders.
The only one left is www.BidPay.com , now called Western Union Auction Payments. (Which causes confusion when on every "contact member" email on ebay states "NEVER pay for an item with Western Union Money Grams" so buyers think you're trying to scam them sending them to WUAuctionPayments.
Anyway, BidPay was first, PayingFast tried to compete then went belly up, and now it's back to just BidPay.
I have accepted over 90 payments from BidPay in the last 3 years and only 10 or so from PayingFast.
BidPay is a great service. Puts the convience charge of credit card on the BUYER and not the SELLER.

Pre-orders have reopened. Thanks for your patience!

Good to see the credit card payments were settled. I still need to figure out the shipping costs though.
I picked "Package" and then "Netherlands" + 3 pounds, from the USPS international calculator and got a list of methods and prices ranging from $5 to $53). I guess USPS Airmail Parcel Post at $17.50 would apply best?
