2006 BYOAC Token in Nickel ** Anyone else here want to get ? **

[aumameman]

Hey All,

I just thought I'd post to see if there are anyone else here who wanna get some "2006 Nickel BYOAC tokens"?



I believe that there would have to be a minimum order of about 10,000 so I know this is gonna be tough to get enough people interested. I would be in for 400 tokens, no more as postage to Australia would be too much so I just need 9,600 more to be in demand..LOL!!

Please remember as I am not the one who organizes this, I am only trying to get some numbers so I can approach Santoro and ask him nicely if we can order some tokens as I do not expect him to do the due diligence.

I just wanted to add that if this becomes serious, you will need to pay for them in advance through Santoro and not myself. At the moment I just wanna see if there is enough demand so I can ask the question.

I would take 100 but I doubt you will get enough to order.

Thats a shame as I don't like Brass tokens much as the don't retain the "bling" for long, also its more common here for arcade centers to be using Nickel tokens.

Only 9,500 left..LOL!

I think your right there probably won't be enough wanting them but it doesn't hurt to try

I believe all the tokens are nickel, and they apply the brass plate on top on that. All you need to do is order the brass and then strip them...

 

I always get the brass, because that's what all the arcades around here have used, and it's what I grew up with...

I thought it was the other way around, Brass Tokens Nickel plated??

What is the cost?

[aumameman]

Hey,

Please remember as I am not the one who organizes this, I am only trying to get some numbers so I can approach Santoro and ask him nicely if we can order some tokens. Going off the last lot, the approx prices are:

100 - $27.99 (Plus postage)
200 - $46.99 (Plus postage)
500 - $112.99 (Plus postage)

These are a rough guide, if the mint raises their prices, these prices will be higher.

save some for me ill take 100 or so  if you end up getting them tell me

[thatitalian]

Nice touch! And for that price I will take 100 of you sir!

[aumameman]

We still need 9,300 in demand before I can approach Santoro so its still a long road ahead before it can even be considered.

To be honest I doubt we will have enough demand but I still have my hopes

Your Search-Fu is weak, young Padawan. Follow the link, perhaps click on Santoro's signature...
