[ba-poker] Ordering BARGE chips: An alternative web order page

[Patrick Milligan <patrick(deleted the rest)>]

The host site for ordering BARGE 2004 chips has been experiencing 
hardware problems.  While it is expected to be back online soon, we 
have set up an second order page at:

  http://www.scottro.com/barge/2004/chips/order.asp

This is a bare-bones page that just has the 2004 information.  A more 
complete set of information on all of the BARGE chips back through 
2000 is available on the primary order site at:

  http://www.pokerart.com/barge/

but at the moment, you can't get there from here... ;-)

Both the primary and backup order pages will be available between now 
and just shortly before BARGE.  But the advance order period ends 
VERY SOON...

All bulk chip orders MUST be in before the deadline of May 30th.  And 
the pricing on the samplers set will go up after the advance order 
period closes.  Our chip vendor, CHIPCO, has longer production lead 
times this year, so we are currently cutting things pretty close to 
have chips in time for BARGE.  We *may* need to change the deadline 
to an earlier date if CHIPCO's backlog gets worse.

When www.pokerart.com is back on the air, you will have twice as many 
ways to order your BARGE chips!

So far, the sales have been slow, compared to other years.  This may 
be due to the difficulties in accessing pokerart.com.  If sales don't 
pick up, we may not be able to allocate very many sets available for 
purchase at BARGE.  If you really want the chips, please don't 
delay...
