    Default Buying Tokens

    I'm looking for a large quantity of tokens, and I've looked on Amazon and eBay and read through the older threads here, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

    The problem is the token styles for new tokens don't really look appealing. I want something Japanese, or bi-metallic tokens (I found some for sale but they were stamped as being for a car wash - that's a hard pass).

    Any help would be appreciated. I'm looking for at least 2000 tokens.

    If you want a mix of different tokens: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/t1123697984 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/h1123780396 or https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/x1122473847 (this one appears to have the bi-metal tokens in the mixture, but no idea how many you end up with. I got a little over 400 out of my last batch like that, but ymmv).

    These will get you 2000 at once in the same pattern. From the pictures I'm not enamored with the pattern, but they are all the same: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/v1123148778

    Keep in mind that you'll need a proxy service to buy and shipping will be painful. Ultimately you'll end up at about 6-8 cents per token this way.

    Your other option is getting brand new tokens and getting your own custom made. You can buy 5000+ from China, and it's a tempting option that I have seen at some sellers in Alibaba. However, the tokens shown in the photos tend to be either CGI or pre-existing (older) tokens that I doubt they made. I haven't tried this (yet), but it's very tempting to design my own bi-metal token and get 10k of them (since oddly enough that is when the price drops so much that getting 5k and 10k costs the same with shipping being the only difference). If anyone has gotten their own made, feel free to share your experiences...
