I'll take one 6 coin poker chip set w/ diff coins for now.  Depending on Black Friday deals, I'll consider more.

Thank you mj for setting this up.

Count me in for (1) 6 chip set as well please.  Thanks mj!

Hey all,

several people have asked, so I'll confirm publicly:

We will not hold any Black Friday or any other sales for the rest of 2016.  Our main sale event for the year was the "Blackout Sale" that happened two weeks ago. 

By popular request, these Bitcoin Chips are already priced at rock-bottom prices.  (We're not even sure if we can break even.)  So if anything, these may just be introductory prices, and we may raise prices on some items in the future. 

So don't wait!  If you wait too long to order, you only risk us selling out of inventory and causing longer wait times.

thanks,
Bobby

I am interested in (1) "six color signature set".   8)

I'm in for something but haven't made up my mind yet!  I'll keep you posted MJ.   8)

Edit: Is that enough to get a free aluminum case or what?

Already ordered

I think I'll wait to see if there is any pricing that I can't resist on Black Friday.  I've been eyeing a  1 BTC single for a while. 

Bobby said in the main thread that these are rock bottom prices and there will be no deals for the rest of 2016.

What Bobby says and what Bobby does are two different things, I was under the impression these poker chips would not be sold prior to today.   ;)

Obviously if you're looking for ultra low serial #'s, order now.  I have no problem waiting a week or two to see what happens in the marketing department and don't see any reason for a rushed purchase.

In the main thread he also details the differences between the chips given as gifts and promotion and the ones now for sale.  They are different chips.

I know the chips are different and the "giveaway" ones are not the same as the ones being sold.  Maybe I should have stated, "I was under the impression BTCC poker chips would not be sold publicly prior to today.", as that is what was meant.

I think it's impressive with how many unexpected announcements come from BTCC, so I don't see any problem waiting!   :)

I assumed the opposite as soon as I saw the promo chips.  Bobby is a big poker fan and it didn't make sense that he was only going to make a small denomination chip, a whole set of different denominations was more a question of when for me.

what is the advantage of the 'group buy'? - is it to save on shipping to usa? or we get additional discounts?

As said on the BTCC Storepage (https://store.btcc.com/), they do not currently sell to US residents whatsoever. If you want to buy something from BTCC and you live in the US, something similar to this is the only way you can do so.
Any items ordered will be shipped to someone else outside of the US initially, then reshipped to the US where they will be distributed to everyone who ordered.

Got it..thank you for the response

This is on the BTCC Store when you check the rolls of Poker Chips: Shipping will start on December 12.

This means that no shipping will take place for anything in this current Group Buy until that date.

Just thought you should all be aware. This seems to only apply to the rolls of Poker Chips, and not other items. But it would be silly to make separate orders IMO.

Thanks

It also says, "Please note that this price is an introductory price, effective until December 1st." on the poker chip pages.

Indeed it does. So any group buy order would need to be placed by the end of November to ensure the items can be obtained at current prices. They just won't ship until the 12th.

To all US members interested in these new poker chips from BTCC - I highly suggest getting in on this Group Buy. This will be the only opportunity you will have to get these poker chips and sets at current prices. The prices will increase on December 1st. Don't miss your chance to get these at current pricing, as they are definitely going to be more expensive after that date.

Thanks to all who make this group buy work  :)

Any idea of how much they are planning to increase it by?

Edit: thanks for the answer!

Glad you got in on the Group Buy, Tommy. I receive my sets tomorrow, so I'll let you know how nice they are ;D


No idea at all I'm afraid. I asked, and was told:

"Hey xxxxxx, the prices on the store are introductory prices indeed, I can’t give you more details unfortunately. However I suggest you to buy before December 1st."

Thanks!!

Post for Shipping Payments Received

0.48 BTC Received.

Everyone has paid. Thank you all.

Zepher

I just sent shipping.  474de29998d93ca9ccab9203dd3c45fba9bd21a7e4f12cdca805591857210153

To anyone wondering why there is a charge of 0.06 BTC per person, this is the breakdown.

There is just 8 of you in this Group Buy, and the more people involved, the cheaper it is for everyone concerned. With just 8, this means that you will be paying more than usual, I am afraid.

*Total Shipping Costs - 0.48 BTC

FedEx from BTCC: 0.24 BTC (see picture)
Reshipping Fee split between the UK reshipper and minerjones: 0.1 BTC
VAT/Customs Duty/48hr Express Courier Service to the USA: At least 0.1 BTC total, likely more.

Anything remaining from the 0.14 BTC will be refunded between all participants. The last 2 times these orders were made, the reshipper actually used his own fee to cover some of the VAT, as the amount charged to participants was not enough. These group buys are not done to make money off of people, these are done to help people who are unable to order themselves.

Thought this post would help clear up the reasoning for the 0.06 BTC per person.

Thanks

I think you could even justify a fee for the legwork.  I'm not sure the people able to order from China and facilitating this are even breaking even because of their time.

When you take the time involved in managing these group buys into account, you are quite right, we don't. As mentioned already, these are arranged to help the community here who are unable to buy these items themselves. There has been someone asking for a breakdown of the 0.06 BTC per person, hence my post. Anyone who is not happy about the charge is free to request a refund, but this will then mean that everyone else will have that bit more to pay..  :-\

Thanks :)

Paid the .06.

Thanks for putting this together for us!

I'm going to have to hold off on this, I haven't placed an order yet - sorry.   :'(

Thanks guys, received :)

Just 2 payments outstanding now. I will be making the order shortly.

There will be a next time digi :) I am just not sure that there will be any of these 6 Chip Sets Left :-/ I may have one spare, I'll give you a shout in a few days.

Paid .06B now too

The order has been placed. There is one payment of 0.06 BTC outstanding.

This order will only ship on December 12th according to the store page when ordering.

Thanks all.

Thanks Zepher!  After seeing coin@coin's post a few minutes ago saying theirs had landed, I was thinking BTCC was shipping faster than they were saying.  I can wait patiently until Christmas though.

All good bud :) Its the rolls of chips that are the cause of the delay, not the sets. That said, if they ship them sooner, then that would be awesome for everyone. The moment they arrive with me, they will be forwarded to MJ.

Cheers.

Paid 0.06 BTC. txid 1106b4247b109958c4026...

Thank you JohnGalt. That's everyone paid up.

Will send you all an update as and when I have one ;D

Cheers

Awesome! Thanks again minerjones and Zepher! Appreciate you guys putting this together!

Good news for everyone!! The order has been shipped today, and will be with me early next week!

Thanks

UPDATE!!

Our group order has been received by myself today. Everyone who ordered a 6 Chip Signature Set will also receive a set of BTCC Branded Playing Cards (Red or Black - it will be random).

I am preparing the goodies, and will ship to MJ tomorrow.

Thanks

Any updates?

Yep. Package was received by MJ yesterday. He will be in touch with you all soon.

Thanks

All of my goodies arrived safely a few minutes ago  ;D 

Thanks to mj and zepher for facilitating this group buy!  These chips are really nice in person.

Received mine today too.  Excellent all around.  Thanks guys.

You are most welcome :)
