To be fair I wrote that and left the page. Forgot about it and came back and said what the hell. Pushing for a new world order. And now eating the chips I was sending you.

Yep. Around 30+ initial Star chip buyersRelative percentages of BTP chip resellers was much higher, with the markups higher, too. And the SB chip sales were intended to fleece the community from the start.

Apologies for my profound ignorance (bliss sometimes!) I know what the Star chips are but what are the BTO and SB chips?

Thanks! I don’t recall seeing images of those, but I was very busy for awhile and missed a lot of the crapapalooza that seems to be surrounding this stuff. Most of the designs of the group buys do nothing for me but those AS hot stamped tourneys are indeed THE BALLZ. Whoever did those hit the nail on the head.

I did ask that thread be shut down. And now you know why.

Why?

For me, the flipping just sucks for newer or quieter members. If you have people willing to pay exorbitant prices, I guess make your money. If it’s made on the backs of others, shame on you (obviously situations vary).

But for new people just trying to ingratiate themselves with the community, but can’t attend meetups and aren’t comfortable constantly asking questions/private messaging, it can be difficult to ascertain what the heck this market really looks like and who are good chippers to deal with (yes I get the irony).

Personally I think you can avoid flipping and increase the reach of the private sale community by creating some general suggestions and a status quo. My tag line states that anyone I buy from has first right at same cost when I sell. And I attach the same thought to sets that I let go from under market value to dirt cheap. It makes for a great little spiderweb network, which allows others to get chips in their hands they might not, and me to pick up chips I might not otherwise. Sure I take a considerable loss upfront, but if you’re truly looking at it as renting chips and not an investment, it works amazingly. I get that the well established chippers don't need any impetus/gimmick like this as they have an established rapport with who they want to work, but it's helped me a couple times.

Just buy TRKs. You'll be much happier and equally as broke.

Slowly but surely this suck is turning us all into Kifers.

Post 106. Maybe "asked" isn't the correct term..."suggested" may be closer to the mark.

Maybe this thread needs to be closed. If there was ever a point to it, it's been lost.

Every time we close a thread like two more pop up.

Being thoughtful, answering questions, informative. All sure ways to create a post and not get one thumbs up!

Yeah you might as well just keep one open so people can repeatedly vent the same gripes over and over.

A: So many chips are for sale, there must be a secret group buy going on!
B: Can someone PM me, I want to join, I promise not to tell!
C: Can someone tell me how to organize a group buy with GPI? PM me!
D: You flipped chips for profit! You suck!
E: Yes I made a profit! Bite me.
F: Boat/BTP chips weren’t intended for people to make a profit. It was an accident, like my kid with that girl I met at the club.
