Remembering St. Patrick's days not long ago (1 Viewer)

Next week is St. Patrick's day. I got to thinking about the good old days when The Chip Room would hold a St. Patrick's Day sale. The newest chip offerings cost $60 to $75/rack for casino used nd maybe $100 to $125 for mint secondary chips. Then the bargains - - chips left over from older offerings. Racks of vintage casino chips under $50/rack. Roulettes for $20 to $25 a rack.

Dang, those were to good old days! You could pull together a playable 600 chip set for $400 and if you were willing to take the risk and wait, maybe get the set for under $300.

I feel like some 90 year old guy remembering ten cent hamburgers or seventy five cent steak dinners -=- DrStrange

Hell I remember about a year ago when members would just post dibs sales for chips at a reasonable price. I wasn't in the hobby to really remember the good ol' days
