Author Topic: 2010 BYOAC Tokens - SOLD OUT (Read 23850 times)

Edit - July 13 2010, All sold out, thanks everyone!

--------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations again to dstone for winning both sides of the token design contest for the '10 tokens.

So here's what happens next. Preorders are open at the ArcadeReplay site.

On the order pages containing Nickel I will ask a question something like "If we don't order nickel would you take brass instead?" 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 responses we will do that. Else - no tokens and everyone gets a refund.

Here are the renderings I came up with. These are approximate, I don't have the graphic skills that Pixelhugger does.

How much are the tokens and what would postage be to the UK for say, 100 tokens? I am looking to order this time though not sure how many. Maybe all UK orders could be sent together to 1 person to save postage/customs then redistributed as necessary at cheaper UK rates?

Santoro · « **Reply #2 on:** October 29, 2009, 11:05:12 pm »

I ship using USPS Flat Rate boxes. They are relatively inexpensive, but it varies by country. I think the website should be up tonight so you can do a dry run to see what the shipping will be.

The tokens will $43.99 for 200, and I offer minimum lots of 200 until the next year's tokens come out. I realize this is expensive for some, but this is driven by the costs from the mint. I have actually lowered my price by 3$ from last time despite price increases from the mint.

Turnarcades · « **Reply #8 on:** October 30, 2009, 12:16:53 pm »

Considering the trouble you go to, and after just placing my pre-order, I think it's fantastic value when you consider I remember many games costing 20p a game through the mid-80's.

For other UK buyers who are interested, the 200 token minimum order including international postage comes to just over £35, so works out at about 18p per token. As the package value is under £35 (it's actually about £26 at the current exchange rate) and under a certain size/weight, (as is my understanding from years of overseas buying) it is unlikely to be randomly selected for a VAT check but remember to factor in a possible 15% VAT charge and Royal Mail handling fee. This would make the total around £45 by the time you get it, or around 23p per token.

patrickl · « **Reply #9 on:** October 30, 2009, 01:38:35 pm »

Yeah, it was 39 euro for me. The cheap dollar is really helping here.

If I clicked the edit address button, I got this error.

Unfortunately, barring a big surge of nickel orders it isn't looking good for nickel. I'll breathe a sigh of relief when we get critical mass for brass.

I'd be willing to accommodate. I'm looking for the nickel ones, but I may get brass if there aren't enough pre-orders for nickel. Does it matter which one you get?

The Wife said a no go on a full order, but if there is anyone out there willing to help with a partial order with me. I'm thinking like 50 or less over all, let me know. I would pay for the quarter order for example and the extra shipping to me as well. If not, no biggie, I just want to help contribute where I can.

Santoro · « **Reply #42 on:** December 17, 2009, 07:19:40 am »

That's actually a pretty good estimate, we got 5 since the last update, only need 5 more. This is the closest it's ever been. If we get a few more I will just place the order. I don't have to exactly break even, I can take a little risk, I just don't want to be out hundreds of dollars.

Santoro · « **Reply #43 on:** December 22, 2009, 11:52:22 am »

Ok, I will be placing the order the first week in January. Thanks everyone for your patience, I appreciate that you all had the trust to send me hard-earned money to sit on for a few months while we got critical mass. It will be worth it!

I expect that the tokens will get to me the third week in Jan and begin shipping shortly after.

Kman-Sweden · « **Reply #44 on:** December 22, 2009, 02:20:16 pm »

Sweet, Santoro! Good job.

Maybe I missed this but what kind of token will be made? Brass, Nickel or both?

Santoro · « **Reply #45 on:** December 22, 2009, 03:02:06 pm »

Only Brass unfortunately.

Turnarcades · « **Reply #46 on:** December 23, 2009, 08:14:12 am »

It's all good whatever the finish. If these turn out nice I'm probably going to ordera mix of all years and designs for my collection.

Santoro, how would you feel about us offering these as an option with our cabinets? Lots of customers opt for a coin mech so these would be a nice touch for their personalised machines.

I actually prefer the brass, but I'm not picky. Would it help if I ordered the nickel instead to help people get their orders minted? And can a get a sample from an old batch to adjust my mechs while waiting. Just one in an envelope would do. I could goto my local arcade and pick up a few but I do not know if they would be the same. Besides, the only have ticket despensing games now so I'd hate to even give the a dollar

Ah yes, arcade cabinet. As I read my post over again I realize the error in my terminology. Though I do plan on turning a second computer into an All-In-One-Console and hook it up to my living room TV with adaptors for 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 controllers. The software is already in place but funding is lacking for adaptors as it's all going into my MAME 'arcade cabinet', Arcade Project Alpha (that's what I am calling it).

Santoro · « **Reply #63 on:** January 31, 2010, 10:13:22 am »

Update.

The tokens are scheduled to be shipped on Feb 4 and will probably get here on the tenth or so. I have enough token wrappers left to ship the 1st half of the orders right away (first-in-first-out.) I had ordered more token wrappers from Happ months ago but they were backordered. I checked with Happ Friday and they are supposed to be here around the 20th. Essentially this means there will probably be 2 waves of orders, one starting the second week in February and one toward the end of the month.

I momentarily considered shipping in taped-up baggies like we used to do in order to speed this along but I'd prefer not to do that. Back in those days we had a much higher incidence of packages going missing. I suspect they were swiped by postal workers because the jingly packages sounded like money.

I will post close-up pics as soon as they arrive.

Just a note for the token 'newbies'.... the close -up pics never look as amazing as the tokens in real life. Most of the scratches and imperfections in the pic are invisible to the naked eye. Looking at the pictures above without clicking to make them full size is a much better representation of what they look like.

1) I honestly don't know, I'd ask AndyWarne. These are standard .984" Brass tokens.
2) The tokens are in stock - click the graphic in my sig.
3) I usually ship with 2-3 days, and USPS priority mail takes 4-6 days.

So I was hoping mine would have shipped by now

Nothing here in the cold north yet...

Read upwards a few posts guys - I stated that there will be 2 waves of order shipments... I hope to get the last of the orders out early next week, a little ahead of when I thought it would be.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks Santoro! Wasn't trying to communicate dissatisfaction, just hoping for update. We really appreciate you doing this and the time and effort you have invested.

We are really excited to see the tokens in person!

My post was only a FYI to other European people that ordered tokens.

My notification came about a week ago and I'm in the UK, so I expect mine are now with customs or Royal Mail, as with all my stuff from the U.S. Just a point for any other UK orders out there.

I got mine last week and they look fantastic. A winner is you!

JohnEDollar · « **Reply #98 on:** February 17, 2010, 03:45:39 pm »

Received my Tokens (200 Brass) last Tuesday. (I pre-ordered the Tokens in early December 2009.)

The tokens look fantastic!

Thanks again, Santoro, for your work on this project!

OK, latest status...

I expect to finish all the counting, packing, and shipping prep this weekend, with rest of the tokens being dropped at the Post Office on Monday.

I need to offer an apology to those people outside of North America who received shipping emails, I printed labels but since they require special treatment at the Post Office, and due to personal time constraints I prefer to ship my international orders all at one time. I know I mentioned processing first-in-first-out, that wasn't exactly the case due to my personal time constraints. I didn't anticipate being so busy when I first said it.

Turnarcades · « **Reply #100 on:** March 03, 2010, 07:26:36 am »

OK thanks. Mine haven't arrived yet (England), so I guess they were the last lot shipped. I'll give it a week or two before chasing it up.

Kman-Sweden · « **Reply #101 on:** March 04, 2010, 06:11:59 am »

I haven't seen any either.. Got the e-mail some time ago.. on the 22th I think?
Hope to see them soon.. I'm not worried yet.

Santoro · « **Reply #102 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:17:08 am »

They all shipped a little over a week ago. I usually start to worry at 2-3 weeks, customs agencies sometimes take their sweet time.

patrickl · « **Reply #103 on:** March 04, 2010, 09:06:10 am »

Well I got mine. WOOT! They look absolutely georgeous!

They look like gold coins indeed. Being a big fan of Galaga these coins are perfect for me

Only nitpick I would have is that the font used for the texts is a bit difficult to read.

Thanks for all the hard work!

walterg74 · « **Reply #104 on:** March 05, 2010, 01:36:10 pm »

Santoro, how much would shipping be for 100 or 200 tokens to:

- Houston, TX, USA
- Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Thanks.

Kman-Sweden · « **Reply #105 on:** March 08, 2010, 12:22:24 pm »

Got mine today.

They look killer! Thinner than I imagined but they did work in my adjusted 10 SEK coin mech.

bleargh · « **Reply #106 on:** March 08, 2010, 02:25:31 pm »

w00t!

Mine arrived in the mail today, and look AWESOME

Many ++s to santoro for another fantastic job.

Ond · « **Reply #107 on:** March 09, 2010, 08:46:40 pm »

Got mine too, very nice, font is fine. I've been turning one token over and over in my hand all day - now it looks nice and used

Turnarcades · « **Reply #108 on:** March 10, 2010, 08:32:12 am »

Mine have also arrived, just a few days ago. They look great and once funds are better I will be ordering a batch of each of the other years if there are any left.

Veeb0rg · « **Reply #109 on:** March 19, 2010, 03:36:00 am »

assuming you have .984 token mechs in the door, yes they'll work fine.

Hi there,
I tried to place an order on the website but I've got this error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /homepages/29/d99361977/htdocs/-ArcadeReplay/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 150
I tried using three different browsers, nothing seemed to work. What should I do?
I'd really like to buy these tokens!

Santoro · « **Reply #114 on:** June 21, 2010, 12:47:17 pm »

I tried fixing the shipping module on my site and borked it up pretty good a few days ago. I have been having trouble making time to fix it, but I should be able to try to do a restore to a not-as-broken state tonight. Thanks for your patience.

Santoro · « **Reply #115 on:** June 21, 2010, 08:57:12 pm »

OK, Thanks for waiting, I think I have the shipping module fixed. Please let me know if you continue to have issues.

naumacos · « **Reply #116 on:** June 22, 2010, 04:19:19 am »

Thanks Santoro, I finally see an actual page instead of the usual error.
Unfortunately, I got a message saying "An error occurred with the USPS shipping calculations. If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact the store owner."
I'll try using another browser as soon as I get home tonight.
I appreciate your help!

Santoro · « **Reply #117 on:** June 22, 2010, 08:40:05 am »

I don't think it's your browser. I will need to take a look again. I switched to a new shipping module because the old version was overcharging for international shippers and my testing wasn't robust as I was in a hurry. I'll look again.

In the meantime if you want to PM me with what you want we can do an email order with manual paypal.

Santoro · « **Reply #118 on:** June 25, 2010, 07:16:45 am »

All,

I have not been able to get to the root of the shipping module issue yet and I need to leave town on business so if you are having troubles with the site and want to order anything, please send a paypal to sales@arcadetokens.com with details on what you want in the comments. It must be in stock on my website. Shipping rates are as follows:

Shipping rates:
USPS - Domestic (US) $4.95.
- international - $13.45

As I said, I am out of town right now so unfortunately I will not be able to ship until July 5.

Note - there are only a few hundred 2010 BYOAC Tokens left, so order soon if you want some!

Santoro · « **Reply #119 on:** July 14, 2010, 11:17:39 pm »

The website has been fixed, and the 2010 tokens are GONE!

Thanks all, and mods we can remove this sticky if you like.

I really wish I could have gotten just one nickel token for my token top TT2 spinner... Perfect design

Put up a thread asking for one. I'm sure a member here would give up one for the cause. If I'd have gotten some of them I'd gladly do it but I missed out on them.

gaffner · « **Reply #122 on:** April 12, 2011, 10:17:59 pm »

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but does anyone who ordered these have some extra of these that they are willing to part with? I'd be willing to pay, of course.

tsaylor · « **Reply #123 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:15:13 pm »

Same here --- I really love this design and would be glad to purchase some if there are extras lying around in someone's garage.

In line after gaffner, of course.
