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 TRADER.
• This is just a few, please help and contribute your ideas…REG

PERSONAL HARVESTING STORIES
LEGENDS CASINO TOPPENISH, WASHINGTON
TOPPENISH IS JUST A FEW MILES SOUTHEAST OF YAKIMA, WA ON I-82. IT WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME I WAS IN THE CASINO. THIS IS A LOCAL INDIAN CASINO, AND EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYONE. THEY DO KNOW IF YOU ARE NOT LOCAL AND BELIEVE ME IF THEY CAN LIBERATE YOU FROM YOUR ENTERTAINMENT MONEY THEY WILL. MY VISIT THERE WAS JUST A FEW YEARS AFTER THEY HAD OPENED THEIR CASINO IN 1995.
I PROMPTLY GOT INTO A POKER GAME AFTER WAITING MY TURN ON THE BRUSH’S LIST. THIS GAME TOOK ON THE APPEARANCE OF A PEEING CONTEST, EVERYONE SEEMED TO WANT BLUFF ALL THE TIME. SO, I HAD TO REALLY WATCH MY P’S AND Q’S. AS I REMEMBER IT, THE DATE WAS JULY 4TH AND WE WERE ON THE ROAD HEADED TO SPOKANE WASHINGTON.
MEANWHILE BACK AT THE GAME, THINGS STARTED TURNING MY WAY; YOU ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED A POSITIVE VARIATION AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. TODAY WAS ONE OF MINE. I STARTED PICKING UP GOOD STARTERS AND FLOPPED EVEN BETTER FINISHERS. BEFORE TOO LONG I HAD A LARGE STACK IN FRONT OF ME AND I GREW TIRED OF LOOKING FOR THE BETTER CONDIONED CHIPS FOR MY HARVEST. SO WITH ABOUT 30 $1’S IN MY POCKET AND A FEW FIVES ADDED AT THE CASHIERS, I DECIDED TO HEAD FOR SPOKANE. YES, I GOT ENOUGH AT THIS CASINO.
ABOUT 30 MILES DOWN THE ROAD ON THE FREEWAY WE PULLED OVER AND WATCHED A SMALL TOWNS FIREWORKS DISPLAY FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT WAS FUN DAY; PROFITABLE AND ENJOYABLE, TOTALLY.…REGGIE http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=WATOLC
