2005 BYOAC Tokens: General dicsussion.
<< < (4/28) > >>
Santoro:
Also, I will be following the 'business model' that has been successful in the past.
pointdablame:
I think its a great idea again.  I think there is a small chance of seeing an oversaturated market, but if the design is compelling (and I dont see how it won't be with the art geniuses on this board), I'm sure they'll sell.

I really prefer the look of the Nickel tokens, but it seems like Brass is the favorite so far.  As you said, a lot of people probably won't commit to anything until they see the design, but short of a major design catastrophe, you'll see another order from me.
DrewKaree:
Might I recommend splitting these out even finer?

1) design 'contest' thread & associated polls
2) Nickel vs Brass Vote
3) preorders to ensure demand
4) if breakeven, order, if not breakeven goto end

1)  Design contest thread, locked by yourself.  All "submissions" would be e-mailed to you, and you would post any and all submissions.  Any "discussion" would be relegated to another thread linked back to it. (paging through that thread to see something "new" got to be SO tedious after a while, I stopped checking it daily.  this way, the images thread would alert me as to when something new came up)

Also, every submission should stand on its own.  That way, the "front/back" issue would be settled in the following poll, OR, list the submissions under separate polls, one for "front", one for "back".

2)  Poll with EVERY submission on it, open for 2-4 weeks.  If no clear winner after that time, condense poll to only the top 5 vote getters.  Open poll for 1-3 weeks on that.  Winner is announced.  On these polls, allow more than one vote.

3)  Picture of winning design in "brass" and "nickel".  Poll to see where demand will be highest, and allow pre-order info in that thread.  If not enough demand is there for one or the other, you can easily and quickly announce non-purchase of that option.

4)  Announce order or announce end of concept.


Hey, 4 steps too.  Mebbe I condensed some steps or something :D

Chris:
It seems to me that the first thing we need is to determine what people want:

- A new 2005 BYOAC token?
- A re-run of the 2004 BYOAC token? (See http://www.arcadetokens.com/html/byoac_tokens.html)
- A re-run of the 2004 BYOAC token with the date changed to 2005?
- A re-run of the MAME token? (See http://www.arcadetokens.com/html/mame_tokens.html)

If I recall correctly, the minimum run for brass is 5000 tokens and the minimum run for nickel is 10,000 tokens.

How much would an order of 200 brass tokens cost?
