I wonder why you guys are in favor of taking other peoples wealth and redistributing it.

Chips and the activities that go with them are LUXURIES. What that means is you can live a fulfilling life without them. If you are an active member here please don’t give anyone the “I’m too poor to drive rolls Royce’s and live in a 6800 sqft house in the Florida coast”

If you are here you are better off than 90% of the world’s population.

Please shut the fuck up about being poor.

You’ve got the wrong idea…again, 0/2, tough look.

But don’t worry, it’s going to be ok man. Good luck out there.

It doesn’t work as a justification for stealing designs and knocking off copies either. “Not everybody can afford expensive chips”. Then not everybody gets to have them! Jesus! I can’t afford an expensive watch. Guess what’s on my wrist? NOTHING!

I’m sure that if @GamingWithChips has two watches he will send you one for free.
But no cheap stuff please. Everybody deserves a Hublot.
 
Ohhh boy…

Good to know, not sure why you are quoting me and him then.

Why are you quoting me then if it’s irrelevant?

It’s fine to not budget for expensive chips. Almost everybody is like that. Other things take priority.

Just quit coming here and whining about it.

Sell your chips, quit your data plan and the device you are using to access PCF, and go save the world. Nobody’s interested on your personal problems nor your opinion on what other people should be doing with their money.

I assume this is aimed at me because I’ve made some tribute designs for fun.

Not sure what your issue is with using a famous design and putting my spin on it. And your watch example doesn’t make sense, what you’re saying is “I can’t afford expensive poker chips so guess what, I won’t play with any chips at all!” 🤨

Oh god no. I have no idea what you’ve done. I’ve been ranting at people who make exact copies of chips for years. I can’t stop.

Brother, if you can’t see the hypocrisy in your statements, then I can’t help you.

This whole website is a discussion board, that is the point of it. I didn’t bring up the topic and nor was I whining about it, that’s just how you feel.

If you read my first post about expensive chips, it was about grumpy, old man comments I’ve seen many times telling people to “just save up and buy Paulsons”. My comment was that many people can’t afford, and in turn are content with something like Tina’s.

You took issue with that and you also somehow missed all of that context and chose to quote me and someone else pretending like we are not happy with Tina’s and are only bitching and whining that “life is unfair because we can’t own paulsons”

Get a grip buddy, I come onto this website and say things sometimes, and so do you. Again, it’s going to be ok, you will get through this tough moment in your life.

The problem is that’s exactly what we did. And if you can’t do it we can’t help you, you will always be helpless.

My parents didn’t steal your parents Paulsons and gift them to me when I was born. I’ve worked hard and saved for everything I have. Maybe harder than you.

You are so far off from understanding biggrizz and I, it’s hilarious.

I’m glad you worked hard in your life and achieved what you wanted. I hope now that you’re older life calms down and you get to relax and enjoy the little things.

That was CPC. But nobody knows if new owner will maintain quality, or reopen at all. So, people hold on CPC chips as well, in case they become collectibles. For people like me just willing to play with good chips, there's no point paying $10 per chip as in the ads, Tina's or SunFly are perfect. Collector market (chips kept in vaults and never felted) is certainly different, as well as investor market. Special mention for reseller market, people crawling eBay or etsy for underpriced chips to be sold here at $$$ whithout even changing the pics (very funny to compare the two ads). Sometimes there are weird ads, like a rare French set recently proposed at an astronomical price under a handle referring to a local drug cartel...

We could raise a bounty for someone to recreate a compression clay formula that the forum likes based on publicly available info (and some tinkering), and just do future group buys like kickstarters through them.

There has to be some enterprising under 25 year old member that will try it.

Ya, my bad.

I’ve let myself get sucked into the pointless arguments I’ve seen on here many times. I will try to refrain in the future lol

Wow can’t defend your positions yet you want to impose them on others.

Good luck with life, you are going to need it I’m afraid because what you have now evidently isn’t working for you.

I've defended what I've said more than I should have needed to. Your failure to understand what I have said has made this "argument" futile.

Lol yeah, someday I hope to travel around a little and see some local sights.

It seems I can’t afford first class tickets though?!! Can some of you guys send me some bucks so I can enjoy some transient luxury for a little while? It won’t improve anyone’s life but I’d enjoy it.

Typical. Can’t argue facts so have to resort to personal attacks. Classic 13 yr old troll.

“I’ve tried to insult you so I’m done”. Burned you!

No facts were discussed in this conversation lol. We are on completely different pages, different books it seems.

And it's ok, you think think I'm a whiny child, and I think you are a grumpy old man. Nothing more needs to be said as intergenerational arguments have gone on forever. We can shake hands and move on.

Uh oh, it’s “who can get in the last word” time. Who’s going to win?
You guys want to take bets on this one?
 
Damn. See my entire line of argument was centered around a lot of people (people vital to growing the hobby) not being able to afford the top tier, so maybe don't shit on their custom Tinas or BRPros. And yet the panties have been ruffled to the extreme by that... I rest my case.
