For the working class stiff/Kab jockey well versed in cityspeak. Carting fares from Chinatown to anywhere else dispatch sends you.

$20 plus shipping. Who is up for one?
Update: This can be $16 each if 20 are ordered.

Very nice, but a bit pricey for what it is, IMHO...

Unfortunately finding a shop with a laser on short runs can at times be that way. I guess I could call and see how many I would need to get in order to get a discount assuming that might be an option.
Otherwise, if nobody is up for it I'll just offer this one on ebay and if it doesn't sell just keep it for myself I suppose. |

Well this project is D.O.A.
A bigger dud than my 1984 INGSOC badges.

They are a cool little item, but they don't have the "flash" "Wow", "gotta have it" power. Maybe if they were yellow, even though it isn't how they were on film. I know us BR collectors seem to want everything BR related, but what we pay has a lot to do with how much it catches us. Remember too that the way BR was populated with props that the detail was over the top, so the more you can add to this the better.
You might also want to check around for engravers. The prices on these name tags and trophy style plaques prices can vary a lot. I have had luck finding several locally, and on line that can do them for a great price with low, or no minimums.
Good luck,
Andy |

I almost did have them done in yellow but then recalled they were white. Considering the response I don't think it's even worth it to try.

I've been going to engravers for about 6 years. I have even done it myself at one place that I worked at that had a laser engraver. Unfortunately I am in a more rural area so shopping around isn't an option anymore. Meeting in person to show what I need is also a factor so trying to conduct the transaction via email runs into too many snags/time. |

Time is certainly more valuable commodity than ever. I totally understand.
