    That is the consensus.

    Definitely not; no one would want to use the huge floppy flips for long term storage anyway. Put them in a tube or non-pvc flips after receipt.

    Next order arrived today and I took pics of a random piece. Pretty nice.

    Received my most recent order today, arrived one day ahead of schedule.

    So how does one know whether a particular plastic holder is PVC or not? Well, one old test is to hold a copper wire to the flip and expose both to a flame. This will produce a blue-green color which reveals the presence of chloride. NGC and NCS do not recommend burning plastic in this ill-advised game of Mr. Wizard, and there’s a much easier test to determine whether a particular plastic is PVC. Simply twist the flip, for a start. If it bends quite easily and shows no indication of fracturing or creasing, it is almost certainly PVC. This quality is what makes it so useful in the short term storage of coins for sale.

    PVC smells like a new shower curtain. Also, that "new car smell" is from PVC.

    New shower curtain smell, Yes, that's it.

    PVC flips are soft and pliable, the preferred Mylar flips art stiff and brittle.

    I don't answer my phone unless I know the caller, get a few calls per week from Wife, about it.

    Being a semi-hermit has its advantages....

    OFFER STILL AVAILABLE, Never saw it run this long, first couple of times was one weekend, So, I keep ordering more, can't beat the price, may be good fodder for trading for semi-numi's.

  • NotSureNotSure Posts: 2,978 ✭✭✭
    Ordered 10 yesterday, received a shipping notice this morning for them, and threw another order for 10 this morning, still showing 'In Stock', so, we'll see what happens with this, LATEST order from today. I find it really odd, as others do, that they've kept this offer going for such an extended period of time.

    BUT, like the saying goes, 'all good things got to come to an end', and I'll ride it out until it's kaput!
    I'll come up with something.

    How much does he charge for ASE tubes? I need to pick up a couple locally. I've been trading the oversized flips that the ASE's came in for tubes with my flea market coin dealer buddy but he's running out.

    I'll put this back to the top of the thread for those in need. 10 empty tubes for 1.50 ea. with free shipping:

    Great price on empty ASE tubes for those who need them.

    Has anyone ordered more than 50 to a single address and had the price bumped to $17.95 each? Supposedly they had a recent ad in the Wall Street Journal where they had a limit of 50 per household.

    So far I have ordered 70 and 40 of them have arrived.

    I have not seen any increase above $16.95 price.

    website says nothing more than "limit 10." Doesn't specify if per household or per order.

    I will say this....



    For where spot is, these are good prices. And the fact that they let you order over and over is cool as well (I haven't done more than a couple though....not a huge stacker).



    That said, I am glad I bought and didn't have a buyer or play the flipping game quickly on these.....they are slower than slow to the west coast. It's like the way the USMint ships the non-expedited stuff.



    I had an order that was last weekend, went "processed" on Monday, hit my hometown last night, WAS supposed to be here today, but now says "due on Tuesday".



    Glad it was free and I don't need it right away. So, other than just rolling my eyes at the process, I don't really care.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • BAJJERFANBAJJERFAN Posts: 31,082 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I had a couple that would have been handed off to the USPS just get delivered by UPS too. It's all good.

    Got my second order of 10 after a week.

    Must say they are nicer than the last 10.

    Fantastic deal either way, long as its free shipping, for me anyway.

    I mean with spot at this moment $15.56, its worth it if you are ever going to buy any.

  • NotSureNotSure Posts: 2,978 ✭✭✭
    Just received my last 2 orders, and, much like OnlyGoldIsMoney, these last 2 orders seem to be nicer than previous orders (makes a total of 11 orders since this started), which have all been nice. I also threw in another order for 10, as I've got a tube that's only half full, so might as well fill it while this deal is still good.

    Also noticed, the seller derryb linked to with the ASE tubes....10 @ $15.50, free shipping, seller 'groovchic443311'....looks like 'groovchic443311' sold so many on the 11th, she raised her price to 10 @ $16.50
    I'll come up with something.

    Thank You for the kind words, always like to share a 'good deal.'

    I wonder what the total number of ASE's purchased by members here is?

    Many Monster boxes, no doubt!

    I have my doubts as to the total purchased by forum members. Fact..no more than 70 are logged into the forum at times and only a dozen or so participate in the PM forum. My guess, we hardly made a dent.

    Hello all. I am not a regular poster but am an avid reader of the coin-related boards here.

    I placed my fourth order this a.m. using the 24 hour rule, and after informing family members of this opportunity at least two of them have also placed a minimum of one order for ten ASEs.

    I guess the point is who knows how many folks like me saw this and acted, but simply did not elect to mention it in a post? My bet...A lot!

    Thank you PM for sharing this opportunity. What fun!

    It's smart to leave some time between orders so they don't show up together in one of the departments (shipping, marketing, etc.)

    That was a good 40 day run, while it lasted. (a lot longer than I ever imagined)

    Heck, even with todays spike, $17.95 is still a good deal.

    Managed to get my last orders in right before the price increase.
