I don't know if it's just me, or if Chiproom really does it right, but I feel so drawn in by this event that I really want to buy some chips. Despite the fact that I really don't want these chips.
My first set were primary cleveland horseshoes, and I hated them. Used RHC's just aren't my thing. I did grab some secondarys in that sale though, and those new chips always left an impression. Then I discovered leaded THCs and it was all over for me. Then I sold off all my chips and disappeared. When I came back, chiproom was having its Lady Luck sale. I firgued why not grab some brand new RHCs? I did, and I kinda hated them. Then I did that shuffling/color transfer experiment and I really hated them. (What's up with that anyway - I've never noticed leaded THCs transferring mud all over each other like that.)
Anyway, here I am, looking at yet another chiproom sale, with beautiful looking RHC's (that I know I hate) and I really want to buy some. Why? I was looking for excuses. I don't have a tournament set these days - I need one - I can make a nice one with the mint secondarys. But then when I added up the money I'd spend (and not even on the 43mms) I realized I could build the same tournament set with leaded THCs - chips I actually like. So I'm out.
Except
Why am I still trying to find an excuse to buy chips Sunday? BECAUSE ITS AN EVENT! BECAUSE ITS A COMPETITION!!! BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN BEAT THE REST OF YOU MOPES TO THE GOOD CHIPS, EVEN WITH MY LOUSY DSL CONNECTION.
Chiproom does it right, and I want to buy.
