Temu really does have everything.

 

[bergs]

how do they work then, in your opinion?

Someone puts goods into the market and either finds a buyer quickly or some interest or no interest and in each case the market is providing feedback regarding your product (and its chips and they don’t have particular differentiators, it’s largely price as the feedback mechanism).

You don’t really get to charge people different prices based on whatever you think they’re kind or not, and expect valid feedback from the market regarding your pricing.

I think in this case you believe that there is a secret cabal dutifully patrolling the classified ads to protect newer members from becoming financial cannon fodder for members who are quasi-vendors with abnormally high pricing.

I’m not sure if you knew this or not, but the only person at PCF allowed to have a cabal is apparently me and it consists of every PCF member who is or has been located in the northeastern United States. Most of the people in my cabal probably have no idea that they’re actually members, but then again most cabals are supposed to be secret, so it’s probably for the better.

Now, back to you…..

Actually, that’s kind of boring. I want to keep talking about me.

Let’s turn this into AMA About My Cabal. I know this was your thread, but I’m hijacking it like it’s an airliner and I’m D.B. Cooper.

(Adjusts tie, but I’m wearing it over a sweatshirt). I will take your questions now.

Yes, @Josh Kifer had his hand up, I’ll call on him first for his question.

First question: I’m currently in the market for a new cabal. Does your cabal have cookies?

 

[biggantt]

Not sure what you mean. They are already cheaper.

my problem is with the useless feedback LOL! I agree with your explanation. But don't you agree that historical sales is a good indicator of appropriate pricing?

 

[chipinla]

Yes, @Josh Kifer had his hand up, I’ll call on him first for his question.

 

[Machine]

To the distinguished gentleman with the juice (squirt as it would be) can you tell us more about you the market?

Did you you get 32 USD for those ugly blaze peanut butter brown fracs, and can you tell us about the 2 drugs at @FakeActions game.

On a note to self wtaf? Why didn’t I pick FakeAction as a member ID!?!?! JFC @bergs where were you on that one??!!

 

[Machine]

But don't you agree that historical sales is a good indicator of appropriate pricing?

Actually no, it’s this is a fallacy; Past performance is not indicative of future sales. 2008 anyone?

But enough about you, back to @bergs

 

[biggantt]

But some how some 90 year old PCFer's opinion, is rofllll

AMA About My Cabal

Does membership in your cabal come with free Koolaid, or whatever is in that jug? I have my own helmet and pitchfork already so I am a great candidate for your cabal.

 

[Natskule]

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like the community could be uninviting to new members and/or change? Ex.) a rack of chips are poste for "x" price and said seller can be mocked for their proposed price or "PCF has changed". Has anyone experienced this if so, please share your experiences.

No, I don't think so.

I think anybody trying to sell a rack of live quarters for a thousand dollars is going to catch crap, when the chips are sold by others for a third the price.

Maximizing profits doesn't make friends.

First question: I’m currently in the market for a new cabal. Does your cabal have cookies?

CLB traditionally has prepared 10pm chocolate cookies for cabal members at meetings in the poker basement. There exists no quota on these cookies other than a) you must consume one else you incur the interminable wrath of the CLB, and b) consuming too many cookies will be dealt with harshly by the other members of the cabal, usually resulting in expulsion, ridicule, or being coerced to purchase outrageously expensive Motörhead City fractional chips. In that regard, and many others, the cabal is in fact self-policing, to a degree.

Mr. @bergs couldn't comment on what is in that jug, and for the record you can’t find enough limes to indulge in the ambrosia Mr. @bergs mixes up

I was likely pruning the cabal membership list of people that has consumed too many cookies.

It’s margaritas, and you’re free to attempt to challenge me for my position as leader of the cabal via a drinking competiton. Many have tried, some are on dialysis, two wandered into the Atlantic Ocean, but I remain alone at the top of my cabal mountain.

The pitchforks are a metaphor. We’re not dressing up as Aquaman at ComicCon San Diego. This is an Internet forum. Please, have a cookie.

Machine is obviously trying to suck up to me, as cabal supreme leader, and attain a management position.

It’s going to work, 100%. Jesus, that strategy is unbelievably effective. I just wanted to point it out is all.

 

[Natskule]

"Smart enough" I dont think you are as smart as you think you are to call others not smart. My prices may seem high, just good luck getting them for cheaper.

I got 2 racks for cheaper. Lot's of folks here have, they are a popular frac that has been traded around.

 

[biggantt]

No, I don't think so.

Could you point me in the right direction as it relates to buying Live mgm detroit fracs in mint condition for a third of $1,000? If you can that would be great... incoming crickets.

 

[bergs]

This is pokerchipforum.com. I am not the cabal leader at the discussion forum at theweatherchannel.com. I can no more comment accurately on cloud formations than El Chapo could on the migration patterns of Canadian Geese.

(Spoiler: North).

I think that if he sells to you, he’s going to expect money in return, and not small lawn-based loud non-biting insects.

I might be wrong. It seems I need to keep reminding people where we are. This is pokerchipforum.com. It’s not nationalgeographic.org.

That's a long way from Arizona, are you sure there aren't some substances in your margaritas?

I think I can buy live MGM Detroit fracs for less than a third of $1000 at the MGM Detroit casino.

I’m betting that deductive logic isn’t one of your hobbies during your idle time when you’re not trying to turn your chip sales at the Classifieds into your own personal Jeff Bezos enterprise fantasy.

Have you considered emigrating to the northeastern United States? Your invitation is at our office at the front desk.
