You guys are cracking me up. We don’t need interpretations, legal or otherwise, when we can hear it from the horse’s mouth.

@upNdown, I ran your scenario through the calc -- the absolute cheapest way for you to get the most number of $1s and $100s is the scenario below. Maybe someone wants the $5s?

So as a noob - if I get a secondary cash set with $1/$5/$25/$100 and want to play $.25/$.50 is it "OK" to use fracs from another casino without relabeling anything? I know it can be done just wanted to see how people would feel about it. Or would you go ahead and relabel the fracs using a Horseshoe label from Gear?
I will state for the record that I wont plan to use my PCA fracs with these chips! Peanut butter & jelly with caviar!

Why not use PCA fracs? Is RHC contagious now?

It's fine to use a frac from anywhere.

Great, but your calf is based on your interpretation of the rules.
Look, I have no idea what the rules are based on. But I know that 40% is the typical percentages for $1s in these sales. And I also know that I’ve never seen a sale with four different kinds of $1s.
So I’m asking.

You saw he responded? The most you can buy is 800x $1's

Hi! My calculation was based on what Jim literally just posted right before I did, he said all the $1s count towards the same percentage. Was just trying to help. GLWS!

Jim responded. But he didn't need to. It was already clearly stated in the sale posting.

Since people are looking for fracs, I am proposing the following "help". With my order I will potentially be able to get 10-15 fracs that I don t need. I d love to trade them for a barrel of jacks primary 100s (open to other nice 100s too) and if you have jacks secondary 25s I would be happy to compensate with other harder to get chips from this sale or money. Preferably someone from canada to avoid international shipping. If interested please PM me.

You can do whatever the heck you want. They are your chips, play how you like.

Some people like to have a consistent look across all denoms, so will custom-make their frac with whatever they can get. Just try to find something with the same mold pattern and a spot progression (or a solid) that works well with the rest.
 
After the first hour are you still capped at 2,000 total chips?

No i don't think so, after that you are free to buy the store. there's usually a second wave of buyers right at the minute the one hour restrictions are lifted... the big dogs come in and swoop up the high denoms, whatevers left... you only know what inventory is remaining by loading the cart

of course Jim can set the limit of the amount of chips he is going to sell that day, so there may or may not be tons of leftovers after the first hour... my bet is there are plenty 1-5-25-100 after the fist hour...

thats is the time i've seen people score racks of 500's... right at that hour mark, you can scoop what you really want... if you are lucky.

Hey everyone - per another thread, I am thinking about a 1000 piece cash set. This will allow me to buy 50 fracs.
Would it also make sense to by my allocation of snappers ($2.50) and $500s to try and trade for fracs after the sale?
If so which $500 is more desirable? I prefer the primary but am only buying to trade ... so interested in which will be more "trade-able" for fracs.

If i buy all the "special" denoms I can - I should be able to sell them for my cost, or trade for fracs right? Meaning $2.50, $500, $1000 and $5000.

Thx!

Every additional entry one has to make when the sale bell tolls adds a few seconds.

So it seems to me that adding small quantities of denoms you don’t actually want, just to have trade bait, may be counterproductive...

But then I don’t really have a sense of how frantic this sale will be in comparison to others, e.g. the Jacks (which were 100% mint, with essentially no clunkers).

(Note: Not interested in the quarters or fracs, lest anyone think this was self-serving advice)

Not sure how willing folks are going to be to dispense advice on how you should buy up desirable chip denoms (that they're also gunning for) to flip/trade.

I like the middle one, but the one on the right will prob fetch more in trade.
 
I would paypal you my chip cost, you would have to cover the shipping from you to me.
Just curious, not deal-crapping.

If you bought your order direct, you'd be paying shipping to yourself.

Why is the buyer who is adding on your chips paying shipping to himself, then paying re-shipping to you? Just for the benefit of being able to fill quantities and get a full allotment of fracs/high denom chips in the first hour?

Yeah, it doesn't exactly sound like a great deal for the other party. They're likely better off just buying and flipping those extra 300 chips to get their desired chips...

I think point is the person would get a higher order total and be able to get more of the desirable chips. wolf could just wait for the sale where there is no denom restriction and get what he wants. This way he could get his chips and save on shipping, and someone else could get more of the rare denoms they want. Not saying a good or bad deal, but I get why he thinks he is adding a benefit to the buyer of all the chips.

someone may not want to go thorugh the process of buying and flipping extras and may prefer to just add my total to theirs to get more fracs off the bat it's for convienence.

If not no sweat I'll just order mine and have them shiped right to me, I know what I want will be available and won't get snipped.

If I am paying shipping I am just placing my own order and they are just coming straight to me. Not paying shiping to have them go to someone else and wait for that person to cut out and reship my order.

However since it caused flak I'll just delete it. I thought someone might find it a benefit and I was assuming the risk.
