Congratulations to MrCurmudgeon for winning both sides of the Token design contest for the '07 tokens. So here's what happens next. I need to put up some sort of preorder page. On it I will ask a question something like "If we don't order the metal you want would you take the other metal?" Your choices will be a)yes or b)no, refund my money. Because I spend a lot of money up front on the tokens, I charge the full price up front for pre-orders. There is too much at risk for me to accept less. I realize this isn't ideal, but it's how I do it.
Once orders have been open for a few weeks I make a decision if there are enough orders to proceed with either 1) 10,000 Brass or 2) 10,000 brass and 10,000 nickel, or 3) None of the above. If I am able to at least break even on the original order, I will place the order.
If we only have enough demand to order 10,000 brass, the people who indicated they would not accept brass instead of nickel will get paypal refunds.
If don't have enough demand for even 10,000 brass, I will contact the people who preordered to see if they are interested in higher 5000 lot pricing. If there are enough 'yes'es, we will do that. Else - no tokens and everyone gets a refund.
It will take a few days to get the pre-orders up on my website, I need to modify my store code to allow it to ask the questions. I'll post here when it's ready.
Any questions in the meantime?
