No we don?t, but I love the idea. There are ways to make simple screen savers right in Windows but I don?t know the details (I?m on Mac and Linux).

Incidentally, we are planning some very cool logo merchandise for Fall. I LOVE the RGE logo, and we?ve had some great new variations designed to play with too. If you think of anything else you?d like to see the logo on let me know.

Victor,

As long as you are asking how about:

Money belts
Wallets
Key-Chains
Watches
Rings
Pendants

AND MOST ESPECIALLY PLAYING CARDS!
I would order 6 decks immediately as soon
as they were available!!

Why not the chips Arnold sells as well???

It was available on tee-shirts. How about
sweat shirts, especially now since Summer is
just about over.

Cheers

Hi! First, let me introduce myself. I work for Arnold and Viktor as the resident Girl Friday (otherwise known as the office manager). Viktor asked me to let everyone know that we are diligently reseraching logo merchandise in order to have a quality selection of products available in the coming months.

Of course, we've long ago decided that playing cards were a must, and will be selling them in packs of 1, 2, 4, and 6 decks. The question is, how much would you be willing to pay for them? We want to offer a fair price, of course, but the cards also look to be more expensive to produce than we first imagined. We will offer high-quality cards, of course, so please give us your honest opinion on what would be a fair price.

Also, we'd love to hear from everyone regarding other products they'd like to see with the RGE logo, and what they would consider fair prices for these items.

Thanks in advance for all of your input!

Price?

What is the going rate for Bee Brand Casino
Qaulity cards? I think I can pick those up
for about $2.50 or thereabouts.

SO, personally, I'd be willing to go to
$5 per deck, IF neccessary, for cards with
the cool RGE21 logo. Of course, I'd prefer
less, but the $5 would be my outside limit
for cards.

Cheers and many thanks

Seems to me playing cards could be a problem. They sell them in the casinos as sort of giveaways at $1.00/ pack. OTOH, having cards with the cool RGE logo might be worth a modest investment. :-)

And, presumably, these cards would have neither holes in them, nor shaved corners!

I 2nd that vote. Between $2.50-$5.00 sounds fair to me

I've been practicing with he darned things for so many years, I forgot all about the holes.

Oh yea, gang - NO HOLES! :-)

Sorry Bettie, but I've got cases and cases of casino cards all over the house. Don't want or need any more.

A suggestion: If you do offer cards, make them the thick kind that the casinos use so that they can be used for deck estimation.

WHAT I WANT: T-shirts or other clothing items with the cool logo. I think $15 to $20 for a t-shirt is fair if it is a high quality item. Low quality t-shirts aren't worth giving away. A round key chain with the logo would be nice. How about a nice MONEY CLIP with the logo. Make sure they are capable of holding 30 - 40 bills or what is the use of carrying it?

[Parker]

I too have more cards than I know what to do with.

A nice money clip, however, is a fine idea. Most money clips simply are not big enough to hold a proper session bankroll and a good winning session.

Of course, one would have to be somewhat discrete. Whipping it out in front of the pit critters would probably not be a good idea.

[Bettie]

The thought right now is that, aside from apparel, we will be branding only items that have to do with gaming. Of course, that's subject to change based on the good ol' law of supply and demand. I love the idea of a round keychain, and we've already started looking at money clips. Perhaps it's just as well that I don't see a lot of enthusiasm for the cards, as the cost runs pretty high for a good quality deck.

Thanks much, and keep the ideas coming! Also feel free to email me individually should you have any ideas in the future.
