SOLD Black Friday Sale (17 Viewers)

Excellent, just picked up a set! Price too good!
I wonder how long these will be available, surprised I was able to snag one!

I have both primary and secondary. I love both but if I had to pick only one set, I’d say the secondaries win out. Nice pick up.

Concur. I love the purple colors of the secondary set. Even the $1 Secondary 1a chips that I am going to use as $.25 fracs.

Hey @TheChipRoom hoe about a Christmas Eve flash sale where you list some more of those awesome secondary $5’s again!

I might buy a set JUST to get a new barrel of hundreds lol.

I prefer the primary by a mile....

I have a strong feeling about faux shaped inlays (never, never, never)....and the fivers, 25 & hundo's blend in much better in mixed sets imho.
That sec $5 is a great chip but also 'loud' with big arc spots....but the $25 is awsome.

Pri $500 is my favourite chip of the rack...

Keep going! Maybe putting this back together can be your goal:

If anyone is looking to possibly partner up on a HSI Secondary Set, hit me up and maybe we can work out something

 

[JWJ]

Of anyone else is looking to split a secondary set let me know. I’m looking for the secondary $25s and at least one rack of the secondary $1s

 

[pipdenny]

My chips just arrived and they look great!

I know I heard a lot about the $1a's being warped, but it seems like all barrels of the secondary set I ordered have several warped chips.
I am still new to chipping and buying brand new chips in general.
Is this normal and expected? Is this still considered mint condition?

Here is an example from the secondary 5's

This is my first Chiproom score also. I wasn't sure what to expect.

I've got many warped $5s. 21/220

I also received 605 $1s, and not 1 of them is warped. Lol

No other warping. Just secondary $5s.

I'm not wanting to "flatten" them. I'll separate them and they won't see play.

 

[shorticus]

@TheChipRoom active links still have stock available?

You’ll need to go to checkout in PayPal to see what’s available and what’s not. Add chips to your cart and try to checkout, it will tell you then.

I wouldn’t be happy and consider warped chips to be defect. I haven’t bought new casino chips though and don’t know if this is to be expected

 

[RussB42]

Since these are New and in boxes. I would just try and stack 30/40 high and leave at room temp for a day or 2.

Works a lot on new chips that have been in boxes for awhile.

Personally, I figured it was part of the buying. I know these chips can warp in the right conditions. As an example, out of the 1200+ Aurora Star hotstamps I've purchased, seemingly minty, I've got about 20 or so warped chips.

Important to note, I had a $25P damaged on arrival, on my recent HSI order, and Jim replaced it, no questions asked. So perhaps if I had mentioned the warping, there is help available.

I just don't know the proper etiquette for this type of stuff as I am still very new to all this. I didn't want to reach out to Jim if this is something that was normal and expected. I also don't know how appropriate it is to be unhappy with this.
I was wondering what the normal protocol was. I also don't know what the acceptable level of warping is. For example, many of the chips are very warped as seen in my pic, but most others are only slightly warped. I would say less than 15% of the barrels I received are totally flat. (I ordered a bunch of chips)

Maybe I can try to pick out the warped ones and try to flatten them? Am I being overly nitty?
I just have no idea

I do exactly this.

My $5s are stacked up. Can't hurt to try this method.

Worst at the bottom but honestly it also works by leaving in box and leave boxes on side and check in couple days.

I figured the wobbly ones on the bottom. Thanks for the tip, Philly!

Ya wobbly at bottom, whatever is slightly warped put at the bottom so good chips on top weigh down on it. Had a few $25’s warp when I got and I just left in box on its side and good to go.

 

[pipdenny]

I'll go through all of mine and pick out the worst ones, but upon initial inspection almost none of the barrels are sitting flat with no wobbles.
I'll try the stacking method, but I don't think I can stack as high as @Jeevansluck though, waaayy too wobbly.

I picked up some ceramic blanks from BRPro as well in case I need to do some clamp flattening.
Other than the warped chips, they all look great and have sharp edges! Very beautiful

Thanks all!

You can get "Dubuque Wooden Handscrews" from Lee Valley in BC. I picked up a 12" one because it was in stock at my local one.

If anyone wants to go in on HSI primary set or IOC micro set I'm interested in the HSI $5p or the snappers from the IOC set

If you go for the HSI primary would love to grab the 25s and 100s

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Is there an IOC Microset available? If there is I'm in lol

 

[moordb]

@TheChipRoom are the HSI secondary snappers making an appearance?

Yes, I'm very interested to know if these chips will ever come up for sale?
