Title: Arcade Key Chains Made to Order! [Pittsburgh PA]
Post by: OldTymeToys on November 03, 2009, 07:36:23 pm: Hey guys- I've had good response with these key chains over at the KLOV forum and thought I'd jump in here and post the same offer to any of you. Here's a thread with some KLOVers' feedback, etc.: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=108774 (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=108774)

For those of you who would rather not make your own, I offer a low-cost alternative for your arcade game keys, car keys, etc. Here's the necessary info:
- Key Chains are $2.25 each plus actual shipping
- They are acrylic key chains, approx. 1.75 x 2.25 inches in size (see below)
- I use arcade flyer art for them (or something else if requested by you)
- PM me with your requests, your email address and zip code & I'll return your PM with further instructions
- Paypal accepted
- Discounts for orders over 50 and repeat customers!

I've made over 5000 of them for a number of KLOV members for hundreds of different dedicated games along with MAME, 10XX-1, Multi Williams, etc.

Thanks in advance to all!

Thanks Mike- I probably should've mentioned that. Please check my feedback and post count on the KLOV forums, as that's where I started making these!

Title: Re: Arcade Key Chains Made to Order!
Post by: Ginsu Victim on November 04, 2009, 10:16:09 am: Easy to make yourself, however, for $2 a pop, it's worth it just to order these.

They are great for keeping your cabinet keys labelled. :cheers:

Never too late! Drop me an email with the images whenever you get a chance. I won't be able to get to them until later next week, but I'll at least have them when I return.

Title: Re: Arcade Key Chains Made to Order! [Pittsburgh PA]
Post by: WhereEaglesDare on January 11, 2011, 12:55:20 am: I have bought 8 key chains from him, 4 were for gifts. The prices are always right, product quality is beyond excellent, and the whole transaction was smooth from start to finish.

You just say hey yo, I want some keychains, you say what you want on them, he verifies and you confirm and pay (always a really low price) and boom yah before you know it you got awesome arcade power on your keychain!!!

If you havn't bought one before I think you should get one or two, or even more for your friends and family. You wont pay much at all and it is an AWESOME PRODUCT!

GREAT DEAL!! YOU SHOULD BUY AT LEAST ONE!

I got my keychain last week and have just been so busy that I've not had the chance, but thank you very much. I know that with as many of these that you do this must be very time consuming. The keychain is much smaller than I thought it would be (which is great) I was worried that it wouldn't fit so well in my pocket.

Thanks again!

I look forward to him resuming this when he can (and glad I put in a request in June before the cut-off date >:D ).

At any rate, i found a Chinese supplier for the exact same blanks he was using. So i ordered a metricshit ton of tag blanks and some other cutting/printing supplies. Now as soon as my order arrives i can make all the tags i want.

Who was the supplier if you don't mind sharing? Like to make my own as well.

They look like these (http://www.amazon.com/Acrylic-Keyring-35x50mm-Insert-Keychain/dp/B00BCLJY8A/ref=pd_sim_sbs_229_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=417RHWFYAfL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1SVX2B40NVK3G95N7WSD) to me.
