I didn't want to use my company account so I just used Sonnet which surprisingly still one shot this. Nice!

For us ignorant folk, we just all add the extension once you make it available? Guess that resolves the waiting for meaningful feedback tool aspect.
Also, what’s your number/email for after they ban you?
Honestly I won't distribute something that's just targeting PCF unless it was okay with the owners.
But I think there's a real need for something that accomplishes what this does: an opt in view to discuss sales fairly without it being considered thread crapping. Maybe it could be as simple as 2 tabs on sales threads. The "Sales" tab that only allows fluffing, and the "Discussion" thread where more real talk is allowed.

They did this to auctions kinda and chipper has this, both seem to not be awesome user experiences as evidence by no one using it much on either.
Plus then they have to monitor extra stuff, and it’s like 2 of them.
In reality it’s all automatically solved if classifieds had tags/sections/groupings allowing for better aggregate data and selling price points, not even a need then for audit trails and history and similar threads.
Obviously the site is so big and volunteer based so no chance of that happening, so the external community note aspect seems cool and might be considered. I’d expect not greenlit simply from how quickly a mess it could make and being external having no control.
Still was cool to see and fun to think through the business use case. I still think that PCF powers that be (behind closed doors) are so thankful for chipper coming into existence and sucking. It bought them untold years of avoiding having to build a secondary platform in parallel in anticipation of sunsetting this place.
The coming improved feedback looks good.
Maybe a voting tool on threads - where users can report bad deal - and if enough votes come it can put a warning on a thread that a moderator can review to determine if the deal is truly horrendous (e.g. 2x market rate).
Recognize there’s no perfect solution, but would be nice to give users some sort of feeling that the community wouldn’t let them get scammed.

I always thought the number of
reactions was the time-tested indicator for how terrible a "For Sale" ad was.

Ooooo. @Jacks yo something nothing to do with PCF or chipper or anything current.
Would it also take 5 minutes to build a current collection tool?
Like they have for other collectibles, card collecting games, etc.

Just CRAZY to me that the majority of chips are in offline collections you have to peruse in person.

Yes this is something I have been wanting to build actually just to track my own collection haha
I may use it as an excuse to use the new Claude design stuff that people are hyped about. Since I suck at design.

Beauty.
Could be super duper simple offline thing just for personal use.
Could grow as far as socially engineered determination to include several factors for singles such as rarity (a/b/c/d/e or whatever) as that usually impacts willingness to trade or exchange even more than price - ie just because you have a want and a have that matches my want and have, it may not make sense from a rarity perspective. Actual condition definitions.
Option to notate whether a desired single is for single/barrel/set.
A desire amount and current count for singles that are being built to a barrel or rack.
Oooo a willingness to trade factor. Ie if someone has a chip as available, how many times it’s matched someone’s want prior to being traded. Represented potentially as simply a X.X number or x : x ratio.
Long term I think this represents one of the best tools needed for people trying to build those impossible sets, racks, barrels, etc. PLUS would encourage everyone to pick up those sacks of chips at local marts and estate sales because it’s so easy to upload/check off and it wouldn’t just be the 3 people we have here constantly selling them.
Add a discussion component and you just became the new chip board. Congrats on your volunteer role, we look forward to your constant attention and continual updates

What did I miss??! Damnit!
Any of y’all ever participate on Tildes? Reddit alternative that had a small boom when the worst Reddit stuff was going down a couple years back.
Had an interesting system for people reacting to content that shaped how it placed in the algorithm. The problem was that the community was a little (far too) gatekeeping about how they used the system but basically you can apply labels to other people’s comments and reflecting the community values of Tildes, the goal was to filter out “noise” that clogs up sites like Reddit. No gifs, no copypasta, etc.
Totally not the right vibe for here but interesting academically if you like thinking about online community design.
Here’s a summary and then link below to a page with more on it.

It’s not dogging any person specifically, sorry yalls in your feels. Objectively speaking, chipper failed in almost every single capacity, but specifically in differentiating from the existing forum and penetrating market/attracting users.
I whole heartedly wish that a smaller second location to here was successful. In fact, a not small number of people do. Which makes it all that more perplexing to watch something fail this hard at adoption after this many years.
YMMV.

CPC/ASMs stack better than Paulsons.
And they even sound better than -unleaded- Paulsons.
Not sure if this has been covered before in the previous 200+ pages - So here goes.
People who buy expensive, non-leaded chips like boat chips or other NAGB chips, then murder to them relabel and put them in a custom set, then decide they don't want them anymore and list them for sale at the same price they paid for them when they were unique, expensive NAGB chips. Dude, you murdered them, so now they are no longer valuable, rare NAGB chips. They're just regular Paulson unleaded chips. If they have nice colors, they're worth - Tops - $4 a chip. Not the $8-9 you paid for them.

NAGB chips serve the best purpose for custom sets. Not bc of rarity lol They were made to be murdered!
Well done for controversial!
Tell that to the guy that designed them
Yeah I agree with Booyah. They are amazing for sets. And if NAGB chips are worth that established price then these murdered chips are worth around the same to the right buyer. And some might think more because murdering chips takes extra effort
I don’t mind murdered chips, you do you with your money and there are some awesome sets out there of murdered chips. but think his point still holds.. they do lose value because they’re now less attractive to people that have the original set, as well ask folks looking to over label. Value loss probably depends on the spot pattern/color.
I think overlabeled chips get an unnecessarily bad review. I love overlabeled chips, but need to make sure that the labels are thin enough to not protrude past the chip/mold face.

However there's even more labor involved to undo what someone else did and customize them again

I understand what you're saying. There's a decent mix of NAGB chips that keep their original inlays and are available in playable quantities.
There are a good deal, however (RPC's come to mind) that also fit into relabeled sets or used to round out an existing set.
I'd have bought more of these than I have at $4/chip if I could find them. I've had a wanted ad out for one last rack for over a year. It took me cold PM'ing people that have bought these in the past for any leads. After months, I finally connected with an international member that was inactive for years via email to find my last rack that will arrive this week.
YMMV, but this simply isn't true for some/most of these chips.
