To all the new chippers – welcome to the world of chipping. If you’re fairly new to the hobby, you’ve probably already noticed that this is a pretty tight-knit and passionate community. While there are definitely opportunities to make some money, it’s a good idea to be careful when you’re dealing with transactions. Your reputation here is built on trust, honesty, and a real love for the hobby, so how you go about buying and selling makes a difference.

If you’re selling or trading an item, try to avoid sending private messages just asking for the highest offer without giving a clear price. It’s usually better to be upfront and share your asking price. This way, everyone knows where things stand, and you can avoid misunderstandings that might leave someone feeling burned.

Remember, some members might see fishing for high bids as a bit of profiteering, and it could make future deals tricky. You might miss out on someone helping you track down a rare chip later just because they felt like you weren’t being straight with them in the past.

There are also instances when someone you’ve interacted with is leading a sale, and just when you think the inventory has dried up, they may help—or choose not to help—you obtain that last rack or barrel of chips, depending on previous interactions. Be honest and open about what you’re looking to buy or sell; it will go a long way in building trust and earning a good reputation.

Due to the private nature of these interactions, individuals seeking the highest offer often remain anonymous. However, keep in mind that we take notes and share our experiences with one another behind the scenes.

At the end of the day, chipping isn’t just about the chips; it’s about connecting with people who share the same passion. Keeping things respectful and real will help you become a valued part of the community. That is just my two cents.
 
While I do agree with everything said above I also would like to add that I personally am very happy to see our community hasn’t changed one bit in the 5 years I’ve been here. Glad to be the first comment in the yearly pre Black Friday sale flipping debate!
 
Newer member here, bought my first HSI set recently and could not be happier. I’ve found nothing but kindness so far from the PCF community, and I’m always amazed by the chips out there and how much I don’t know about chipping. Definitely excited to learn more from the more experienced members, and hopefully build a set in the coming year! Cheers to joining this community :)

…this is what it’s all about. That and of course meeting up with our fellow chip degenerates in order to enjoy all the nice chips at the table.

I’ve already been to 2 meet ups and can’t wait for the next one :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: And since discovering mixed games.. don’t get me started ahaha
 
You've got 2 on me. Been here for 5 years and haven't made one yet. Got younger kids and have been really busy with them. I'm going damn it, and I'm going soon. I know how you feel with regards to mixed/circus games. Fun and will definitely wreck your brain lol
 
First post as a new member of PCF. The site was recommended by a friend whose chip collection I was admiring. It looks like I'm at the bottom of a steep learning curve! Looking to start my collection.
