Are the auctions coming out just random racks?

The auction are chips that I have in lower quantity and will be very random depending on what I have in inventory. I was not able to post more then 20 images in the opening thread so this is the way I chose to sell additional items

Thanks for clarifying.

Are those Used, slightly used ?

(I'm afraid I ask a dumb question ; if so please excuse me : learning in process. Btw, I'm trying to find poker chips glossary, but Google doesn't help that much. If you have an idea, I'd be glad to hear about it. Cause I'd like to know what - for instance - primary and secondary means before I die lol)

On the regular Horseshoe Cincinnati set here. The breakdown is basically impossible to do a T10k on, you have prices on the higher denoms as individual chips but are there going to be extra 25's or 100's available for sale?

Primary = chips regularly in use at the casino
Secondary = for security purposes, casino must have a second version of their chips (generally $25 and higher) in case for instance counterfeit primary chips are used at the casino, ... So secondary chips are rarely (or never) in use and are generally in uncirculated (= mint / new) condition.

These are all slightly used in my opinion even though I listed the $1000s as used. Im just being extra cautious on condition for the $1000s because they show more wear then the other two higher denominations. the $5000s and $25,000s are somewhere between slightly used and new with the $25,000s being the better of the two. I would say that the $1000s are between the Slightly used and Used.

It is very subjective but I use.....

Uncirculated (Unused - Sharp corners and still chalky for the factory)
New/Mint (Very Slightly Used - Square to sharp corners and no chalk left from use )
Slightly Used (Square Corners - All easily stand on edge)
Used (More rounded corners - 50% still stand on edge)
Well Used (Significant rounding of corners - none stand on edge)
Poor (Tire appearance)

Im sure this will get scrutinized but at least you have an idea of how I look at things
I actually appreciate the scrutiny!

Not a dumb question. Not a dumb question. Damn it, not a dumb question! Why? Because I had the same one sometime after joining this forum. Lol! There’s a wealth of info here.

Also, Most casinos have two sets of chips, a primary set and a secondary set. the primary set is in use on the casino floor and the secondary set in the the vault only to be used if the primary set ever becomes compromised and they have to pull it from the floor. The secondary set allows the casino to continue operating with very little down time. So secondary sets are almost always uncirculated because they are never needed. The Horseshoe Cincinnati Secondaries are uncirculated for this reason.

Here are the original drawings for the horseshoe Cincinnati so you can confirm colors

if it weren’t for security or copyrights...these would make a cool spec poster.

[The Chip Exchange]

How many tournament sets are there? Hoping I have a chance at getting one.

there are more WSOP chips then the regular tournament chips. You should be fine but I would not wait too long.

Let’s say one was interested in a 500 chip set, about how much do you think EU shipping might be (Sweden in this case)?

I would use a medium flat rate box from usps.
it will give you the shipping cost once you get to the checkout before you pay.

there have been several posts regarding breakdown. I even have one that works for 10-15 players. If you are having more players you might need to buy 2 or add on individual chips

How do you get the stacks so neat for photos?

 

[Brookston]

Let's say someone orders a set of something and then a few minutes later convinces themselves to buy a few more chips, and then of course, a few more after that . . . Will you combine orders from the same people/refund shipping?

Yes, absolutely. Please be patient with me while I sort it out but If I can combine shipping I will refund the difference. I would suggest anyone who does that to please send me a message so I am aware of it and can be in the look out for multiple orders before I start buying shipping labels.

I put them in a rack first and pull them straight from there being careful not to bump them

 

[1A25R]

Those original drawings are cool ?
Maybe those are files to keep in the "resources" section ?

I would suggest as members, we not abuse this gesture. Essentially, @The Chip Exchange is offering to do more work for less money.

As a new member, trying to understand the parameters of the sale, I am just waiting on 2/16 for a special sale link to be posted on this forum correct? This is not an auction or a dibs situation that I have to monitor? Can I basically also just go to your website at 2:59pm (east coast) and hit refresh or will the link be unique to this forum?

Thank you in advance, this sale looks amazing!

Eloe2000 is correct

The description line that has the price listed (below images) will become an active paypal link at 12 noon PST on February 16th. It will only be in the opening post on page one and you will place what you want in your payapl cart and checkout once you have everything that you want to but just like you would on amazon. An item is not yours until you pay for it so just having something in your cart does not guarantee it will still be available when you checkout and pay. That is part of what creates the frantic nature of these sales. hopefully I have given everyone enough time to figure out what they want so there will be less indecision as you are buying.

This is helpful - thank you for the additional information!
