The finish will be similar in appearance to chrome. You never see the brass (it's
inside the plating).

Same problem with setup costs.

Personally, I probably wouldn't buy anything. But since you're so concerned
about the setup costs, you may be interested in http://www.cafepress.com/ -
you can make Tshirts, mugs, and mouse pads with designs on them and sell
them. Doc Ozone (www.ozones.com) tried this out a couple months ago
(www.ozones.com/store) and he was very pleased with the results, he said the
printing was high quality and all.
Just thought I'd let you know about that.

Great Idea! I would definitely buy one, provided the price is
reasonable. I like the coloring of #1, but not the shape. #2 is also
very nice.

I would purchase at least two.

#2 is my favorite. I like the idea of having the YKYBRTLW. . . on the back of it
as well.

2 the most, but it's a bit too reminiscent of US dog-tags for my tastes.
1 is just plain odd.

Well, I'm not too keen on the long thin ones as they seem a tad too big,
and my keyring is plenty big enough as it is...

Bye for now,

The expected size of those ones would be about 7cm (roughly 2.5 inches).

It does but some of us might purchase it anyway out of loyalty and pity...
