If you don't want to bother with such an insignificant order I understand; but I've always wanted ONE of the lt green $2 Caesars chips. If you are there and it's not much trouble can you get me a nice one. :D

I think I have one you can have. Pm me shipping

I'll be there Aug 20-24. PM me and I'll see if I can't snag you one.

I figure $10 for the chip so I can make sure I pick out the most average one available. That should be about 10 minutes plus 20 minutes of travel time. ;)
 
I feel embarrassed over-burdening @moose and taking advantage of his rare and exemplary kindness.
If anyone goes to Vegas well before Xmass, I would be interested in two racks of clean white dollar chips, either Ballly's or NYNY for relabelling.
 
I just want a small set ;)

Moose is leading by example. If you want everyone to behave a certain way, you have to behave like that yourself. Kudos.

@moose, a long shot but if you see any $6, $7 or $9 chips, please pick up a couple of each for me!
 
Trip is booked. Flamingo Nov. 28-Dec. 5. OP to be updated. Any other PCF'ers in town at that time LMK and we can hook up for a tourney or some dinner somewhere.

Still ask that you hold off requests until Oct or so at which time I will also start collecting paypal for the larger requests. Singles and the like are no problem if I know you as a regular member. No advance payment needed.
 
Sorry for not getting back to this sooner but trips to Iceland and other things happen...

1. I'm sorry but I can't withdraw USD from paypal so I am going to get screwed on the exchange twice. 1st by paypal when the payments are converted from USD to CDN and again when I go to my bank and convert it back from CDN into USD. So on the face value of the chips only, I am going to have to ask for 10% over face to cover the exchange 2x.
2. Shipping. It's not cheap. 1 rack=$26, 2 racks=$30, 3 racks=$33. You don't have to add 10% to the shipping because I am paying in CDN.
3. It is not a dibs sale. If I think you are a flipper/douchebag/ahole/Star chip whiner, you are not getting chips. If I have done deals with you in the past you will get on the list, unkowns will fill in after that if there is room.
4. My wife leaves next week, I hope that I can get her to carry back 4 racks - Flamingo, Caesars, Mirage, Bellagio, Ballys only.
5. I am only bringing back 8 racks max. Flamingo, Caesars, Mirage, Bellagio, Ballys, Aria, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, PHo. Maybe a few others if possible. I will have a car in Vegas but I'm not going out of my way.
6. No requests for Unicorn/Unobtanium chips. Flamingo spotted birds, Ballys drop chip, MGM drop chip, MGM large inlay, mint chips, Caesars $2, Paris chips etc. are all out.
7. No PMs. If I add you to the list in OP you are in and I will send a group PM with paypal info to everyone on the list at once.
8. I'm good with paypal F&F. If you are not, then you will have to cover the fees. Don't forget to add 10% to the face value of the chips and don't send the shipping until after I return and have confirmed that I have your chips.
8. Small quantities are no problem. If your total is more than $50 then I will need paypal in advance in order to withdraw it to my bank and exchange it back into USD before I leave. No need to pay for shipping until I return.
9. I will do the best I can for you to get the best chips I can find. If the cage works extra hard for me, I will be tipping and you will have to cover the tip. Mint chips are unicorns. If you can't accept used chips then don't put in a request. If the chips are really bad, I will do my best to send a pic beforehand to get confirmation. Otherwise what you get is what you get.

My wife leaves Nov. 19 and I will be going the following week on Nov. 28

If you are good with all that then get your requests in now.
 
I forgot that I will be going downtown to play the last remaining Sigma Derby machine at TheD. So downtown chips are possible. Silver Sevens and Ellis Island as well.
 
Great terms and service, @moose -- big chip karma kudos for all this. (y) :thumbsup:

IF you happen by Spinetti's in your travels, I could use two of these to fill a barrel:

Should be around $10-$12 each. February delivery in FL would be fine, if interested -- just let me know.
 
Yeah I am going to spinetti's so you are good.

Also if anyone is in town Nov. 28-Dec. 5 I would love to meetup at some point.
I have an extra pair of tickets to the UNLV/Cinncinnati game Dec.1 $33 face each ticket, comes with snacks and 2 UNLV hats. Would take $30 for the pair. If @Jackstraw wants to go, I would be happy to have him and a buddy, my treat.
 
I should also add that anyone willing to wait until the FLA or Windy City meetups can have their chips at cost and no shipping.
 
Awesome of you moose. If you come across any mandalay dollars with large inlays, I’d take them, up to a rack. I was just there last weekend and they are on the tables, but pretty rare. I’d say maybe 2-3% are large inlays. Anyway, if you pick up any, I’d take them.

And if not, thanks anyways for the offer. Totally awesome of you.
 
I'm guessing some one-time tips aren't worth getting fired.
 
It's cool that you are doing this, especially the "no mark up" part. It seems that harvesting, for most, has become a "for profit" venture.
 
I wonder if a cashier wouldn't take (let's say) 200$ for 30x$3 chips. Nice tip. Won't they? - But I really appreciate that you help so many users just for asking you.

In my experience tipping was never a deciding factor.

Ignorance or apathy are more likely going to be the key.
 
Hey @moose , very unlikely but if you went by Sam's Town, I would like some 1s to go with my trops.

No worries either way, most important enjoy trip with your nephew.

I don't know the rules if tipping the cage is allowed or if selling single chips or barrels is allowed in a casino or especially at the MGM, but there are a lot chips out there and I don't think that all cashiers got fired after they sold some chips to a collector. But maybe I am wrong.

I was able to get a full rack of new 1's more than 10 years ago at the MGM. It wasn't difficult to get them and I don't know if the cashier liked me or not, but I am not able to get there easily.

PS: Checked flights in early 2019. About 300-330€ plus transfer and hotel. Hm, think I should talk to my wife?!
