Author Topic: WANTED: A Small amount of 'Mame/BYOAC' Tokens (Read 2895 times)

Hippo · « **on:** November 24, 2005, 05:42:14 pm »

Hi

I am currently in the process of doing some light engineering work to my coin slots and because of this I will only need 1-2 coins per slot. The standard minimum order for the mame tokens atm is 100, which is a little to many for my needs!

So my question is: Is anyone willing to part with a few tokens for a fellow arcader? I will swap the tokens for real money...

Hippo

Anyone?

I think the problem is that our BYOAC tokens are just a little too precious and rare.

I carry two around with me every day for good luck.

If you're looking for generic tokens at .984, you could grab some cheap ones from Happ. They sell them in groups, but you can also get them one-by-one.

I looked at happ but they have a 100 min order quantity $:-\$

I may have to bite the bullet and buy 100 then. I'll just make sure to hide the bill from the wife

Not that cheap. The prices listed on that page are for the shipping. Put one in your basket to see the real price.

250 tokens - $25 (plus $8.50 shipping)
500 tokens - $45 (plus $10 shipping)
etc

Cheaper to buy used tokens off eBay or from that crazy cat on RVGACEGVCAFDFSdsdfs..... I got ~250 assorted tokens shipped to me for ~$10

Ah. I need to pay closer attention as usual.

It's not you, I'm sure they've designed that page to make it deceptive. Even listing the "regular price" in a non-bold font, leading you to believe that you're getting some different price, not the "regular" one. But no, the "regular price" is exactly what you'll pay.

And their site is wicked slow!

....yeah, it's confusing...but I've bought a ton of stuff off of them...they happen be really good vendors...and willing to flex on price if you ask nicely! (really!).

....regarding the tokens...I have 3 slot machines and about 2500 of their tokens. They seem to be the same as the tokens you're producing...but I can't say for sure.

Santoro.....PM me your mailing address and I'll send you one if you want to check.

I use your tokens in my arcade machines (as a matter of fact I just ordered another 200 from your re run!)......and the slot machines ones on my slots. They're "old school" generic and say "no cash value" with a picture of the Statue of liberty on the reverse.

I started collecting arcade tokens when I was about 10 and have 70 or so different ones now, I plan to put them in a nice display case on the wall one of these days. I would love to get one BYOAC token for each year of release if possible. If anyone is feeling generous PM me pls. thx! --Erich

I received my pack of 200 BYOAC 2005 edition tokens from Santoro and I'm willing to give away 20 tokens free to those people that didn't get any.
Limit 4 per person.
Choose color combination. I have both nickel and brass.
Hippo, nullb0y, and unix4hire get first dibs.
Once there gone there gone.

PM me for questions or if you need some coins.
*Sorry but the 20 tokens are gone anyone who has sent a PM to me will receive a token or tokens.*
Also, you will have to be patient with me it may take a while to send the coins out for my life is very busy.

PM sent for one brass token. I was psyched to see the designs and the finished product... and then they were gone. Just having one live one in my hands would be a beautiful thing.

Thanks jon, you da' bomb!
