HARVEST STORIES FROM AN ADDICTED CHIP COLLECTOR
BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPULSIONS TO GAMBLE, SOME TO AMASS FORTUNES AND OTHER’S, WELL THEY JUST LIKE TO WRITE STORIES. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE ME. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TO WRITE, NEVER WAS VERY GOOD AT IT; BUT I HAVE DONE IT OVER THE YEARS JUST THE SAME.
EVERY WEDNESDAY I AM GOING TO ADD A HARVEST STORY TO THE PAGE OF THE DAY.
IF ANY OF YOU WANT ANY INSIDE INFORMATION ON ANY CASINO THAT I’VE BEEN TO, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW.
IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SOME UNIQUE EXPERIENCES HARVESTING, AND HAVE A STORY OR TWO, PLEASE; BY ALL MEANS SUBMIT THEM. I AM THINKING OF ADDING THESE ON THURSDAY’S POD, WITH YOUR PERMISSION AND YOU BEING ACCREDITED.
IF YOU LIKE THEM BY ALL MEANS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. REGGIE NEW STORY THIS WED.

A WANTED CHIP
This is a chip I would like to acquire through trade or purchase please email if you have one available or know someone who has one available. Even if you do not have the denomination or mold shown, you should know that it is possible that I may need other denominations or molds from this casino. Please email me with any items that you would like to sell or trade. Thanks, Reggie

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
It has come to my attention over the years, that there are several chip dealers and collector/traders that will not ship overseas. Of course, that is a personal call.
I do not mind shipping overseas-internationally. I do it out of courtesy to our international members and our international chippers, whether they are CC-GTCC members or not.
There are some things in my International shipping policy that you should know, and I will list them below:
• I will only ship to customers with pay pal accounts, or are willing to send cash safely through the mail* (*Please note; chips will not be sent until funds have been received by me.)
• When sending pay pal payment; please only USD (American Funds)
• I will only ship chips, other items such as dice, match books, or anything else that is NOT a chip, I will not ship; please do not even ask.
• You should understand even though I quote postage/handling rates in my order instructions, that international shipping could be a substantial amount more. I will endeavor to get as close to an exact postage quote from the USPS web site prior to mailing. Should I be incorrect on my figures I will issue a credit slip to you on your next order or ask for a balance to be added to my pay pal account.
• The newest information in reference to international mailings recently divulged to me by the USPS is that using bubble mailers will triple your cost; if it is not a uniform thickness and it is not flexible (is rigid and does not bend). Using a #10 envelope and corrugated paper with a maximum thickness of ¼ “, up to 5 chips can be mailed.
• Since, there is a special postal customs form that needs to be filled out, for each package(bubble mailer), you should know it always takes longer to mail a package internationally; (up to an hour) and you are required to go physically to a United States Post Office.
• As you can see it takes more time, and sometimes it requires more expense to do this, please know I do it out of love of our hobby. And I do not charge extra for the handling. Please always, make sure that your name and address is spelled correctly and the spaces between names and address (streets & avenues) are correct.
Thank you for reading this and I hope this makes it easier for us to communicate, ship and receive packages of those little round treasures we all so dearly love. Sincerely, Reggie
USPS DEFINITION OF A LARGE ENVELOPE BELOW
(*Notice there is not a picture of a bubble envelope there)
Large Envelope

Dimension Minimum* Maximum
Height 6-1/8 inches 12 inches
Length 11-1/2 inches 15 inches
Thickness 1/4 inch 3/4 inch
* Large envelopes exceed at least one of these dimensions.
For example, an envelope 10 inches long x 8 inches high x 1/4 inch thick is considered a large envelope because it exceeds the minimum height dimension.

THE SELECTION OF CHIPS FEATURED WILL BE BASED ON SEVERAL THINGS INCLUDING: UNIQUENESS, SCARCITY, BEAUTY AND CONDITION.

$1 Jimmy Jack's Everett, WA $12

DISCOUNTING
When I purchase the chips no matter where I find them from the cashier in a casino or card room, the prices remain cheap and discountable.
If I purchase them from another individual at their asking price, the prices are slightly higher than I paid for them, and are usually not discountable, unless they are sold with other chips that were discountable…
I rarely discount only one chip purchases unless it is a sizable purchase/price.
The more chips a customer buys the larger the discount is.
My average discount is a 10%.
As you can see, for those of you that buy and do not trade, my prices are as low as I can make them. It is because I love “Chipping” so much that I try to make as many different chips available as I can.
Along with the discounting, I try to keep the postage and handling down to a minimum. Many customers can attest to the fact that I sometimes collect less postage money, than it cost me to ship. Also, I many times do not figure the pay pal cost into the equation.
Please Let Me Know if there is anything else, I can do to make it easier for you to make a purchase or make a trade with me.
Sincerely
Reggie

ERRORS
A few words on errors in type, or any other problems with my text or spelling, even though I use spell-check, I miss quite a few in all of the pages I compose. Please, Please, shoot me an email and let me know what I did. I may never know if you do not let me know.
I know I miss putting prices on some items, and even though you are not interested please let me know. Sometimes it takes an entire cycle of 7-8 months before I discover some of my mistakes and that is way too long
There are a few chippers out there that do point out the blatant errors; kudos and a high 5 to you, you know who you are so I won’t embarrass anyone by naming them in this little “info commercial”, lol. Thanks for doing this.
Sincerely
Reggie
