Good morning folks, Nancy has had a couple of hellacious days, two trips to the Emergency hospital, one by ambulance, for excessive bleeding, she is on Xarleto, and had hand surgery, botched job, and one of her arterial pumpers, got cut and not closed off properly. Too many details to go into, she is out of a corrective surgery this morning at 7am, and convalescing, but this is a major set-back, compared to what was described to her to be 3 stiches, 3 days and a band aid. Her projected time to be back close to 100% is now 6 weeks; after two and half weeks of wishing and hoping by a well known hand Dr. Today's page is Better Sets, thanks for bending an ear. Reggie

ANGLE SHOOTERS, CHISLERS, LOW BALLERS & etc

You have experienced them in the cardrooms, please let me explain how they apply to our hobby.

First and foremost, let me make this perfectly clear that this does not apply to .99&44/100% of us. But, if you want to know who the shoe fits……then read this:

There seems to be a very small amount of chip collectors from time to time visit us on our blog boards and conventions, that just cannot shoot straight. These are the kind; that get you once, and then they try it again. (And, if they do it again, it is on you, of course)

I have had a few of these types, attempt various things over the years to me, and many of my friends and customers. I think something needs to be done to help prevent these actions from happening; but I fall short of creating black lists or airing dirty laundry in public. I am always available for any kind of discussion, with like- minded “chippers”.

The best part of being a member of the CC-GTCC is that it narrows these types down to .99&88/100%. One thing; I do, do is save emails as a CYA policy. Also, I try to re-write any response to any actions of any scenarios, I find myself in; several times during a 24 hour period of time, instead of firing off a knee-jerk reaction. Be advised that I do trade & sell to many non-members, but sometimes it takes a while to gain trust with non-members and vice-versa.
A Problem that has occurred to yours truly, is where a deal was made, and after it was completed; the fact that items were sold way to cheap was discovered by me, and I asked to have the deal rescinded and a portion returned to me. This was negated by the buyer (a CC-GTCC member); they chose the money over the personal friendship and trade relationship.

One big problem has always been the USPS. There always seems to be a different set of circumstances that surround each “lost shipment”. What to do? Does the shipper or customer take the hit, or both? This seems to be the way some collectors acquire their chips, have you noticed?

And my biggest question: do we have on file somewhere procedures to follow in these circumstances? If not, is it about time? And lastly; should I just delete this last question? And stay out of this problem. And handle these things as they develop one at a time. Your thoughts on the matter would be highly appreciated. Sincerely; Reggie…
