If no one objects, I'm going to begin posting (and reposting revisions) of The 'Low End' Chipper.
This will be a collection/assortment of thoughts/advise/lessons learned for 'low end' chippers (those collectors with something less than unlimited funds).

This first post is in more of a bookmark(us old-folks sometimes forget things)/commitment (I said I gonna doi, I guess I gotta do it).

There is a great deal of enjoyment to be had in chipping without investing huge amounts of money.

1. Know your limitations. When I started chipping, I set a limit. Never more that $10 for a chip. To this point I have exceed that limit only twice.
2. Make a budget. (This is most definately a case of not practising what I preach. I couldn't stay on a budget if my life depended on it).
3. Put something in reserve for that "GOTTA HAVE" chip. This way you avoid winding up with no food and three days 'til payday.

More later, gotta go to work now.

P.S. PLEASE! Somebody else contribute so I know I'm not the only low-end chipper out here. :-)
