Back in May, “a rare button sold for $15,100 on ebay. The button is from the 1920 United States presidential election. It features a picture of the Democratic nominee for President Governor James Cox of Ohio and the Vic Presidential candidate Franklin D Roosevelt.
The seller described the button as the “holy grail of political buttons”. The auction had 18 bids. The seller had little knowledge of the actual value of the button until it was listed. The seller even threatened to cancel the auction if a higher bid wasn’t reached.” Quoted from: The Button Blogger!!
LOVED the product, the fans love them, can’t wait to get more custom made buttons and button packs from y’all!

I received this email from David late last night.
“I was in need of 400 1.5″ round magnetic tokens to use on a Demonstration Go Board I was assembling for our new local Go Club.
Go is the oldest board game in the world, being played unchanged for over 4000 years (yes, thats four thousand years.) I had tried a set of plastic tokens from “The Bar Store” website, but the resultant product did not work because the magnets were too weak and the pieces sat too high on the board, falling off if accidentally brushed. So it was with some trepidation that I called for some sample disks from your firm. I was immediately impressed by the willingness of your sales agent to help me with my project and at my request, she sent me several sample buttons of the size and type I required. After determining that the sample buttons would work just fine, I placed my order for 400 1.5″ magnetic buttons, 200 white, 200 black”.
Thanks for the email with photos David! This is a great unique way to use our products! Email me all of your ideas and I’ll get everything posted up on The Button Post.

With any business, we have encountered some bizarre moments. So, we put together a list of some of the most interesting. We will not mention any names and we apologize if we offend anyone. Because we value customer service, this is only intended to demonstrate how we take care of every customer.
One that our office was most intrigued about, we received a call from a gentleman who was very impressed with his buttons and our turn around time. He asked if he could have our physical address, because he wanted to order us pizza. Our senior designer, Joe, who took the call, was needless to say a little taken back, but eventually gave the gentleman the address. This could have easily turned into a scene from a cheesy horror movie. Sure enough, one day a pizza guy came up the shop with about 5 large pizzas with all sorts of toppings. If you are the guy who bought us pizza, our hat goes off to you, thank you sir.
A Purebuttons employee took a call from someone who was upset with their button order, because they were too noisy. This employee, was sure they meant the artwork was too loud, or what have you. Nope, to clarify their position, they explained to us, “When they are in the bag, they are too noisy. I mean like decibel noisy.” We ended up satisfying their complaints the best we could. Note: If you are going stealth, do not carry a bag of buttons.
The final case, that makes the PureButtons list, is an individual called us and left a voice mail. When we called him back, he answered the phone and asked us to hold while he pulled up our record. Instead of putting the phone on mute or on hold, he either just set it down or didn’t care that we were still there. This individual was clearing his throat and grunting about 25 times while we were on “hold”, and was yelling obscenities about where he put our information.
The best way to deal with situations like this, is to remember to treat every customer like it is your last.
