Title: All Brass Arcade Tokens Available!!! MAME, 2005 BYOAC, & 2004 BYOAC!
Post by: Santoro on January 30, 2006, 06:30:43 pm
I have an order in for limited quantities of all tokens I have ever offered (in brass.)  I only will have about 2000 of each type after current known demand is filled so if you want them and haven't ordered yet, I suggest that you order fast.   You will be able to mix and match using the Paypal shopping cart.

Should I be able to reach a US order page for the 2005 tokens?

Should I be able to reach a US order page for the 2005 tokens?

Click it from the "dropdown" menu on the left side of the screen instead of the link on the 2005 page itself

oooh. I just ordered my 2004s (only 100) before reading this. Could I have mixed and matched in smaller quantities? e.g., 75 2004s and 25 2005s or something like that?

I assumed I couldn't with so few tokens so I planned on trading with someone here.

I don't need lots of tokens. My wife is watching me pretty closely.  ;)

We are really only dealing in hundreds at the moment, the complexity of the various combinations would make the tracking a lot more difficult in our current system...  We are already finding that the complexity of multiple types of tokens being available is more than we expected.

I'm actually trying to order some now for shipping to Australia. Problem is that when I Add 100 Brass Mame Tokens to the Cart it does but then adds extra shipping and handling? Is this correct?

Option 1:  100 Brass- $20.00 + 6.00 S&H

Paypal has $26.00 + $4.50 Shipping & Handling

Total: $30.50USD = $38.75AUS

Also I originally was going to order 100 Mame and 100 BYOAC. Is the price calulated on an order of 200 discounted or full price for each type?

Cheers for any clarification.

Brad

Seeing as how I don't even have a cabinet built yet, I can't really bring myself to buy these.

But if you ever do small order batches, just for the sake of collecting them, then I'd definitely buy some.  Like a 10 per set, or 5 per set, 25 per set...etc.  I know that handling smaller quantities would consume more time and may discourage large purchases by some people, but it might also draw in more customers who don't really need 100-200 coins laying around for a machine thats going to be set on Freeplay anyways.

Just about to order 100 of each.  And I wanted to check the shipping price.  If I get 100 2004 and 100 2005 is the shipping $12 for a total $49? 

Thanks!

you would be surprised 100 tokens isn't much and they are only tokens they don't require much room....


I know he'll have no problems selling out of them again..........

Dont want to be a nitpicker but you said that all of the tokens will be in stock in 20005.

"Tokens are on order and expected to be in stock on or about February 10, 20005. Please click one of the links below to indicate your acceptance and proceed to the ordering pages."

It says that for all of them.

Also, if I buy 100 of each type of tokens do you still get the discount for buying bigger numbers? (Like Brad said. I'm also from Australia :D)
Title: Re: **All Brass Tokens Available!!! MAME, 2005 BYOAC, & 2004 BYOAC!**
Post by: Santoro on February 01, 2006, 07:38:13 am
For US orders the shopping cart calculates shipping in a way that discounts the shipping because we can put multiple orders orders in an inexpensive flat-rate box or envelope. 

For International we don't do this for four reasons:

1) the flat-rate envelopes are much smaller
2) we cannot generate electronic postage so we have to wait on line at the post office.
3) Creating the billing this way would make the Paypal cart logic too complicated.
4) there are no flat-rate boxes for international orders.  If you order 500 tokens, I need to ship 3 separate envelopes.  The alternative would be spending like $50 on regular shipping for a big box. 

Just about to order 100 of each.  And I wanted to check the shipping price.  If I get 100 2004 and 100 2005 is the shipping $12 for a total $49? 

Thanks!

Regarding large international orders, see the note right above this.

OK this has been fixed.  The website and associated Paypal logic has grown in complexity and I missed this error on the international MAME page.  Try now, it should be fixed.  Thanks
