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

TRADING CHIPS POLICY (MY)
The following numbered points are some good policies to carry into the arena of trading with other collectors. Please try to adhere to these guidelines. Any questions please email first.
1) If it is a lopsided trade where additional p/h is required throw in a couple of extra chips (example tokens always weigh more)
2) Always let the trading partner know when you receive your chips.
3) Try not to send severely nicked, damaged, or extremely dirty chips.
4) Some traders require a photo image pre-ceding the actual trades, accommodate them, unless you do not have scan capabilities.
5) Try to be an equal partner in the trade, do not make one party of the trade do all the work.
6) I prefer to trade with CC-GTCC members, because of the honesty of this group is very high. I do and have made trades with non-members.
7) I try not to do lateral trading. In other words; I do not like to trade any chips I only have one of for another chip I do not have any of; and I have it in my personal collection already. I may do this if this collector/trader is a highly valued club member and customer.
• A trading policy, is usually never the same with any two chip collectors, having said that I will try to explain my trading policy.
• Let’s go with the obvious first: commons for commons, Current table chips for current table chips, new racks for new racks. Of course, there are always an exception or two to the above rule: For instance if there is a charge to get into the facility, or it is a member only club, you get my drift. I may want more than a common for a chip like a “Greenbriar” or a “Delaware Sport Lounge”. If I was to trade these chips at all. A second exception would be; if you keep your trading inventory lean and mean…and you just ran out of a new common chip that is being offered for your older obsolete chip, and you have two or three of the older obsolete. This constitutes a trade of equal value, because both parties are getting what they need/want.
• Denominations often throw new collectors a curve. Many cannot understand why they cannot trade a common $5 chip for 5 - $1 chips. There are several reasons that this is not something that some collector/dealers do not want to do. One is the ratio of $1 chip collectors to collectors that collect higher denominations. Mostly, in order to acquire the five chips, (from the example above) it takes five times the effort, gas, and expense as it takes the one $5 chip. And yes, the actual value is the same, but not really. Also, invariably the new or novice collector will stray into the higher valued or obsolete chips when picking the 5 that he feels he deserves for the one $5 chip. Some people are ok with this, when you find chippers like that, try not to take advantage of them. I lean on the side of not doing it, but possibly, in part; of a large trade, if the higher denomination is a chip I really want for my collection.
• Next there is a group of chips that are made available by dealer/investors that eventually flood the market, actually lowering value of the chip below its face value; in some cases, it is hard to give them away once you have been unlucky enough to acquire. Examples of this are: Aces Casino, Jok-Erz Casino, Hard Rock Albuquerque, NM, Sonoma Joes, California Bell, etc. These can be mixed in with the commons in most cases. There are some in this group that are very slowly being meted out in order to maintain some value.
• Let’s try and tackle the obsolete group…these have to be traded based on the Guides valuation. And/or the asking price. There are numerous guides, most people are aware of the TCR(The Chip Rack) which covers Nevada. There are also separate guides for CA, WA, MT, and CO. There are also guides that cover areas such as such as the Official U S Casino Chip Price Guide, this guide covers NV, CO, SD (Deadwood), Riverboat States (IL, IN, IA, LA, MS & MO), and Atlantic City. There is one more guide that covers multiple states: A Guide to the Casino Chips of MI, MN, ND SD and WI…and many guides are available on the internet. I will try to help you hook up with the sellers of any of these guides should you be interested. One last thought on obsolete chips, it is always up to the two people that own the two chips that want to trade; to be satisfied with the trade.
• This is a work in progress, will be adding bullets as I think of them…Reggie

THOUGHTS ON TRADING

I AM A DAILY READER, A DAILY POSTER & SUPPORTER OF THE CHIPBOARD. I HAVE SEEN ALL SORTS OF APPROACHES TO THE ART OF TRADING CHIPS. HOWEVER, THAT BEING SAID; HERE IS MY OBSERVATION ON WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT AND DO NOT DO MUCH TRADING:
• TRADING REQUIRES MORE THAN AN AVERAGE AMOUNT OF INITIATIVE.
• TRADING REQUIRES A LARGE SELECTION OF ITEMS TO MAKE A TRADE, AND THAT MEANS MORE THAN A 100 COMMONS.
• WHEN YOU APPROACH ANOTHER CHIPPER FOR A TRADE, YOU MUST BE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF WHAT HIS INTERESTS ARE. IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD TO ASK ANOTHER TRADER TO TRADE FOR ITEMS THEY DO NOT EVEN COLLECT.
• REMEMBER THE USPS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT MAKES OUT ON SMALL TIME TRADES SO IT IS ADVISEABLE TO MAKE AT LEAST A 5-6 CHIP TRADE WHEN MAKING A TRADE.
• TRADING POLICIES OF EACH IDIVIDUAL IS OFTEN QUITE DIFFERENT. I HAVE A POLICY FOR TRADING, AND WILL GLADLY SHARE WITH ALL THAT ASKS.
• ROUND ROBINS ARE ANOTHER WAY OF TRADING.
• I HAVE BEEN TRADING REGULARLY FOR TEN YEARS. I HAVE HAD THOUSANDS OF TRADES OVER THESE TEN YEARS.
• CHIP SHOWS ARE ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO FIND TRADERS.
