Market it to a casino. Damn those things are nice...lol


Thats a good idea... have you tried that yet? They would buy quite a few off you at once, if you can strike a deal.

Yeah I've thought about that, but I'm in Ft. Worth, and our gambling is limited to basements :-)

If anyone knows someone at a casino I'd like to talk to them. I can do custom engraving in bulk quantities, but it requires a lot of extra tooling and bit wear, and I don't want to break copyrighted logos without express consent... the whole legal issues ya know :twisted:

I'm just busy shipping buttons and dealing with stock right now. I've sent a few to some big poker supply sites to be sold on consignment as an introductory phase and they will place orders after the trial period.

I'm definitely not making any $ off these things at this price, especially for the investment in time, but it's fun to create an idea and see people who love the game using my product. One of those 'proud of your baby' deals.

Maybe I'll start making them in Sterling Silver and Gold plate for those REALLY high rollers!

Haha I'll have to see if I can get some with Rhinestones around the perimeter for Snoop and the Dogg Pound.

Maybe they'll carry them around instead of those goblets :)

The buttons are selling great though, I appreciate this board's support in getting them off the ground.

I won't be buying that porsche any time soon, but it's lots of fun!

I'm sold out this week, but will have more in stock by next Thursday or Friday. All orders placed before then will be shipped by Friday of next week. Everyone who has seen them loves them, and is getting in before the price goes from $20 to $25.

Thanks for your support guys, I hope you love the buttons!

Got mine, and it looks great! Especially cool if you happen to have the "suited" chips as I do. Fits perfectly with them.

Nice job!

Cool!

Glad you like it. As you can tell, you won't need to buy another one for about 15 generations ( :cry: for me)

When I redesign the website I'm going to have an area for customer shots, so if you have a game anytime soon shoot me a pic for the site.

Take care,
Adam

Glad you like it! I think it's around 1/4 of a pound! Solid Stainless Steel... no cheap pot metal :P

I'm also going to be making card protector buttons with the same design, but anything a buyer wants in place of 'Dealer' for those who play live casino or want a good luck charm. I'm limited on what graphics I can do, but I'll do any text requested for an additional $10 setup fee (we have to set up the engraver and import the graphics, etc.) Please let me know if anyone is interested in the card protector, as it'll probably be a limited time thing.

Take care!
Adam

Are you selling these through gameland sports? Just saw a dealer button on their sight that looks a lot like yours.

I did sell them a few to try out on their site. I don't plan on selling through too many resellers (only one or two) and will only sell the base dealer button through them. Any custom work will be through dealerbuttons.com only.

I'm doing REALLY nice pressed brass/steel card protectors now which are a big hit. I'll post some pictures of these as I get some ready to ship.

Take care,
Adam
