Hello I am new to your Forum and would like to introduce myself. (1 Viewer)

Meant to say...interesting experience.

Welcome at PCF, love your OP

I'll repost this
That made me laugh, thanks much for that. Those are crazy funny.

And just so u understand the extent of this addiction, I get more packages than my wife, I send out more packages than her, I have way more nail polish remover than her, my non chipping friends are 100 percent sick of me talking about chips, I spend way too much time removing inlays, and today my wife caught me trying to stick chips in the oven (when I tried to explain she just gave me the hand and walked out of the kitchen). Now u have a full picture of what is in store for you.......
That was hilarious, the part where your wife raises her hand at you and walks away ... I’m still laughing about that because my wife does the same thing to me at times. Very glad to know I’m not alone in that treatment brother!
 
Thanks much Josh, I can see that this is going to be fun. I am already addicted to a couple of on line auction websites and I suspect this will be my third stop along my daily surf addiction. I enjoy these sites more than watching on line content, not sure why perhaps because it’s more interactive the. Passive and if you are able to find something you can use then you have accomplished something constructive. I appreciate your post and your welcome.
 
Welcome to PCF.

It's 10 posts and 10 days to be able to post it in the classifieds. If you want to purchase something from the Classifieds before then, try sending the member a private message.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Tommy, this is going to be a dumb question so be prepared. I’m not sure how the auctions are run, my question is are they similar to eBay? Is the winning bid calculated based on the next highest bid plus the bid increment? Or is it whatever your max bid is regardless of whether it’s much higher than the next highest bid? Not sure that make any sense, if not let me know and I’ll try to clarify. Thanks, bothering you because you were the first to communicate with me On this site which I appreciated. Dave

One of my favorite things to do here is railbird coveted auction threads as time runs out (and over).

So it works a little different than eBay. There are two ways to buy chips via the classifieds section: “for sale” and “auctions”.

For sale listings, they simply state a price and generally whoever replies to that thread with dibs and then pm’s the seller first gets the chips at that stated price.

For auctions, the bidding happens in these forum chats. So you have to be there at the computer/phone in real time posting and refreshing. Because of that you can’t set a “max bid”.

Happy chipping.

Thanks much that helpful, I would have misunderstood without your explanation. Appreciated, Dave
 
Thanks for the welcome, the site is really a very welcoming place, glad to be here.


Yes I suspect I will get addicted, I’m already looking at a lot of information I didn’t expect to be on the site, it’s far more than a chip site only, Thanks much, Dave
Yep, it’s everything poker and random discussion. The chips draw you in, but the community makes you never want to leave.
 
Ha! Yes I can see that collecting could get out of control, and can be expensive. I am surprised at the value of some chips. Thanks for the reply.

PCF is currently my most visited website / I barely check my Instagram and other social media anymore. Something is extremely addicting about this forum , you have a feeling that you’re missing out if you not logged in and refreshing. My spouse thought I was talking to a other woman spending so much on my phone :D
Good luck and happy chipping year :tup:
 
I have been here less than a year, I like you came on to buy 1 set, so How has that worked out for me

not to bad

My 1 set is a custom set of ceramics from the group buy that right now is sitting in customs in California

also I have bought

a custom set of dealers choice dice to liven up our monthly game
a barrel of live 1's from Ceasers palace
a barrel of live 1's from MGM
a group of live 1's from about 20 other casinos
a sample set of Roadhouse
a sample set of Aransas Queens
a set of random chips because it had 2 that I really wanted
20 decks of cards
20 Matsui Racks
PCF Cut Cards

A HOT DOG ROLLER

and I am sure a few other things I cant think of just yet


So good luck on your trip down a new addiction.....
 
Once I do that I likely wouldn’t check in that often, I hope that is ok with everyone.

Welcome! Hmmm my initial post would be similar. Since then last year ...

Sample sets from Apache, and Forum Members
Custom Chanman Table Topper
43mm Prestige Group Buy
Chip Room Sale
More chips from Forum Members
Murderer of 100s of aforementioned Chips

Finalized design on Custom Labels

But I never did buy those Monte Carlos' ...
 
Ha! I can see that this can become a very black hole but a fun and interesting hole to follow the rabbit down. I already made one purchase and can see that it will lead to a number of additional funds. This site really is the best way to find what you are looking for, far better than any of the auction sites. Thanks much for your post, Dave

Wow that’s some record, but I’m a bit envious of what you have been able to find here. I hope my luck is as good, but I have already made one purchase and am looking forward to others. However, what I have learned so far is that I really know nothing about this subject and that there is a whole lot I should learn before I decide 9n what I want, my mind has already changes several times after reading what is available on this excellent site. Thanks much for your post, appreciated, Dave

As someone who was brand new to pcf six months ago, I can attest to this. I'm on my 4th set now...
Thanks, I’m looking forward to my first set now, but learn something I didn’t know every time I log into this site so it may take some amount of time for me to know enough to make an informed decision. Thanks much for your post, Dave

Welcome aboard Dpetti
Thanks much for your welcome. Great people on this site, appreciated, Dave

That reminds me of my Dad and Mom they had a similar conversation about my Dad’s on line chats when they were alive. I can see how that happens. My wife so far doesn’t seem to care but who knows how long that will last. Thanks much for your post, Dave
 
To be frank I am interested in joining your forum because I would like to purchase a set of the chips I see advertised on your site. Once I do that I likely wouldn’t check in that often, I hope
Welcome; you might be surprised how much this forum can reel you in.. I said the same 3 months ago when I became active in the forum.., here I am building my 4th set...
Good luck for you... and your wallet.... :D

Thanks much for your advice and good luck wishes I can see how that can easily happen, I’m already getting sucked in just reading the posts and watching what comes up for sale, there is much to learn and even more to choose from. It’s going to take me awhile befor I stop being almost totally confused. Thanks again for your post. Dave
 
Welcome! You might be surprised. The allure to stat is stronger than you may initially think.
Yup! 9 months ago, I was @Dpetti I just wanted a cool but cheap set of chips, then I'm GONE! Now nearly 1900 posts later, I have several sets in hand, a couple more on order, hundreds of sample chips in every color and style from multiple manufacturers, and I'm running a group buy!!!
 
I can see that commIng I’m still in the waiting room and have bought two sample sets, a collector chip, and a set of 600 chips. But I am still not satisfied, it’s like an opioid addiction starts out small and grows.
 
I too came to this forum to purchase 1 set of chips...... a year later and 15000 chips later I still am visiting this forum every day......
Lol I heard this before...

your learning. Welcome, and please let me know if I can help you! Lots of cool people here enjoy ! ! !
 
Eloe2000, thanks for the welcome and I can see that this site can get addictive, I just checked out ont of the pages Tommy gave me a link to and it explained what all these acronyms mean, I was getting confused as I read some of the posts and this page of definitions was helpful. Here is a lot of great information and I can see that I have a lot to learn, but it’s fun. So I can see that you are probably right about the allure.
lots of shiny things here
