Yep. I stumbled on a big collection and bought it last year as a gamble. I didn't know anything about chips. Now I've been learning and trying to make a lil side hustle out of it. Paid vacations to Vegas are always nice. But I just think back on all the chips I sold before really knowing what I had. Haha. Gonna learn gonna learn.
Please never stop using this.
I don’t know anything about your transactions, but even in the last year some prices have at least doubled, if not more. People are paying out the nose for things, makes it fun to watch auctions. Don’t sweat it too much, as long as you came out ahead.
yeah. That original comment was not a complaint at all. I did pretty well on the first collection. And it got me into this world, so I can't complain. And yes, these prices are pretty cool. Motivates me to make more money so I can be a baller and spend money like these guys one day.
Pretty sure I taught u that on day 1. Loldidn't I sell these to you for like three bucks a piece? Before I even knew what paulson vs chipco vs housemold was???
You taught me that day one of harvesting school. A few months prior to that I went to the school of hard knocks to learn about singles/ sample sets and selling to collectors.
No explanation needed. It's a free market. Good luck with the auction.Current high bidder is @Steppenwolf with his bid of $350.
I dont know if I owe anyone an explanation, but yes I did buy these of @casinochipper22 about a year ago. This was before he was a PCF member, and when he was trying to resell a chip collection on facebook. 2-3$/ea was probably ballpark average among these and the ~200 other chips I bought from him. I got some cool chips, and @casinochipper22 made some decent money on his initial investment. We were both happy campers. This sample set were obviously the nicest of the lot, and the fact that the chip market has gone bonkers in the last year doesnt help make this feel less awkward, but I dont feel like I've cheated anyone. Many of us has made some great purchases from non-collectors off-forum over the years. If people want to discuss this or want more details or whatever maybe we can use another thread, like this flipping thread or just PM me directly.
And by the way, this GIF legit made me burst out laughing. Hard to find anything more appropriate.
You don't owe anyone anything - free market, free country. Appreciate the candor but not necessary and you shouldn't feel an ounce of guilt here. Good luck with the auction.
You're welcome Steve!The bids in these auctions are making me feel better about paying $5-$6 for custom chips!
Those are fantasy chips made with the same inlay by Paulson. The ones at auction are originals made for a casino that never opened.
That’s what I figured. I knew mine were fantasy. Sweet chips either wat
This is a direct result of all the drug decriminalization currently take place in CA. Say no to chips people. Chipping is addictive!
Atta boy!
I couldn't hold out any longer.
