Any idea on the type of prices you guys might charge?

Captain Rotundo:
I actually found tokensdirect.  unless someone sees there is a market for mame tokens the quantity/prices required seem a little high for a few guys chipping in.  I hope the previous posters company offers a decent product :)
- of course next time I have a spare grand I'll look into it!

Still in the process of securing some of the suppliers, so I don't have any price points yet.  The whole arcade/mame idea is more of an off shoot of the original intent of the company, but the ultimate goal is to make the products as affordable as possible.  We intend to add value to the products and specifically market to the hobbyist.  Again, it's more of a side business for the company, we are in design and research phase for other product lines in other areas, but that's not to say we are not serious about this line of business either.  I'll let you know more as we progress.

I switched to using washers instead (I don't have a real coin acceptor, just a slot in a panel with a cherry switch rigged to trigger when you insert it)
Any idea where I could get some kind of tokens that would look like money (better than washers) for cheap?
The hoyle brand poker chips are too "plastic" looking.

I bought a bunch of tokens on eBay ( which has been mentioned ) but mostly for collecting.   I wanted ones for some of the arcades I frequented as a kid.  I've seen bulk token auctions too.   Also, have you tried any of the vending machine dealers in your area?
Maybe a locking coin door would help.   ;)

 One of my friends modified his mechs to register anything as a credit - pennies, dimes, slugs, tokens - whatever. Makes a cool way to save all your change. If you are stuck on Tokens though, Ebay is probably the way to go.
