OK Gang, Ordering is open for the 2005 BYOAC tokens!!!!!

http://www.arcadetokens.com/html/2005_byoac_tokens.html

A few notes for the newbies

I don't sell batches of less than 200 for the first few months to maximize sales and reduce the risk of being stuck with unsold tokens.

What's the ballpark for 200 Brass or 500 Brass with shipping?

Santoro · « **Reply #2 on:** August 09, 2005, 12:33:40 pm »

It's all on the website, follow the URL in the first post.

May I order more than500?

Santoro · « **Reply #5 on:** August 09, 2005, 02:52:00 pm »

Of course.

There weren't many requests for large quantities for the last two batches, so I figured that'd be the case here as well. Plus, I just couldn't make time for creating all possibilities last night.

I will try to put 1000's up there in the next day or so. Maybe 750 also?

UndeadMeat · « **Reply #6 on:** August 09, 2005, 03:43:30 pm »

Sorry, maybe I missed it, but is there not going to be a year on the token? I understand why it wasn't on the M.A.M.E.^TM token, but I like that it was on last years BYOAC token (even though I didn't get any). Maybe since both the front and back are Pixel's designs (both I voted for

) he would be persuaded to add the date to one of them. Just a thought. I should be pre-ordering in a week or so. Thanks Santoro.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #7 on:** August 09, 2005, 04:26:52 pm »

Yes, the date will definitely be on the back. I forgot to include it (again). I'll update the blinged examples as soon as I can.

UndeadMeat · « **Reply #8 on:** August 09, 2005, 04:28:56 pm »

Thanks a ton Pixel! Love the designs.

Could we also get the "C" in the big "BYOAC" on the back to look like a "C"? It currently look almost like the "O". What I mean is since the letter "C" has an opening, couldn't the "C" have a small opening on the coin too since the "Y" has an opening.

Below is what I mean:

If it doesn't show up right for you hopefully it can be reached at:

Yeah, and could we get the upright to look more like a cocktail!

M3talhead · « **Reply #11 on:** August 10, 2005, 05:19:32 pm »

Placed my order today.

bossyman15 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 11, 2005, 03:03:00 am »

i'm trying to decide which metal i would want. brass or nickel, don't want the mix.

also how big and thick is the token compared to quarters?

also anybody got the photo of your 2004 brass and nickel token? just to see what lettering and pics look like on different colors

edit: also i was thinking about getting brass because many arcades i went to in the past used brass tokens so...

Silverwind · « **Reply #13 on:** August 11, 2005, 03:09:11 pm »

Please let us know when you reached the critical amount of orders to proceed

bossyman15 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 12, 2005, 05:57:46 am »

okay!!! placed my order!!

Santoro · « **Reply #15 on:** August 12, 2005, 07:45:27 am »

also how big and thick is the token compared to quarters?

Diameter: 0.984 in 25.0mm
Thickness: 16 ga 0.061in 1.5mm

I don't know this info for a quarter.

RetroACTIVE · « **Reply #16 on:** August 12, 2005, 09:53:54 am »

I placed my pre-order: 100/100 split or whatever. Both metals are cool because when I was a kid if you got a silver token you got 10 more free brass (1 credit) ones, and if you got a purple you got a 100 free!

These are really neat and I am very excited they are available. Thanks to all who contributed.

I'm thinking of pre-ordering these tokens but that would mean I'd have to replace my $0.25 cent mechs in my four player cab and the mame cab i'm currently building. I saw a couple of .984 token mechs on the happs website but I'm unsure of which ones to get. I'd love to get the cheapest ones if possible. I also heard that there's a way to modify the .25 cent coin mechs to allow for tokens, but I still need to get at least two new ones for my mame cab.

M3talhead · « **Reply #18 on:** August 12, 2005, 01:23:08 pm »

I just use 2 pieces of trimmed cardstock as chutes......this allows any coin to pass and register a credit.

Flinkly · « **Reply #19 on:** August 12, 2005, 06:37:46 pm »

santoro, i was wondering how many tokens have already been preordered in the last couple days. alot?

i guess i was just wondering what the real demand was for these things. thanks.

Personally, I like the sound a coin makes as it passes through the mech. It's all part of the original feel for me. I've considered your route, though.

It still sounds authentic, it just isnt authentic!

Santoro · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2005, 10:08:48 pm »

We had a nice first two days, but the orders have slowed a lot. We will probably be able to order 10K brass. Nickel is still TBD depending on the next week or so. Demand for brass is slightly higher than nickel.

tristan · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2005, 10:10:34 pm »

I'll be ordering 200 nickel soon, but I'm trying to pad my Paypal account first.

bossyman15 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 13, 2005, 02:16:30 am »

the reason i ordered just nickels is because it is same color as quarters.

never did really liked using tokens in arcade because you are forced to use them all. it has no cash value

but with quarters you can just spend what amount you want and leave.

like for example you only want to spend $4.50 in arcade but you put in $5 in change machine to get $5 Worth of tokens. well too bad you have to spend the whole $5 instead of $4.50

Nickel is my preference as well so I'll change my order from 100/100 to 200 nickel if the numbers are close.

greywolf22 · « **Reply #29 on:** August 14, 2005, 11:22:09 am »

Just placed my order 100/100...honestly I'm good with all Nickel as well (as I have all Brass from last year)...if it makes a difference...otherwise a split is great for me...just looking forward to more awesome BYOAC tokens. I encourage anyone who is even remotely considering doing it to take the plunge, based on previous experiences you will NOT be disappointed (and look how much last years tokens are going for now..think of it as an investment)

I'd go with the brass folks, nickel is a carcinogen. Happy MAMEing.

Do you make a habit of licking your nickel tokens? Or melting them down and inhaling the fumes???

tristan · « **Reply #34 on:** August 16, 2005, 01:39:17 pm »

I ordered my nickel tokens today, and I can't wait to start chewing on them!

Silverwind · « **Reply #35 on:** August 16, 2005, 06:29:02 pm »

I ordered a mix, but I would be happy with either color or both colors.

xonix_digital · « **Reply #36 on:** August 19, 2005, 01:32:40 am »

Is there a reason why it doesn't say 2005 on these tokens anywhere?

Did I miss the memo? $:-\$

-=XD=-

Santoro · « **Reply #37 on:** August 19, 2005, 07:28:01 am »

It will be there. Pixel forgot to put it in the 'blinged' photos.

bossyman15 · « **Reply #38 on:** August 19, 2005, 02:22:25 pm »

any idea how soon will the pre ordeing be done?
