Pricing is an opinion of worth or value. It is always good to be able know exactly how much you should ask for an item. But, pricing is not an exact science. My prices range from 50% face value up.
My pricing structure is always a struggle. Over all I gauge my pricing on these facts:
1) How much I paid
2) How many I have in my inventory
3) The commonness or scarcity of the item
On occasion I must take serious offers, because of unavailable pricing indicators. Again, this is something that individuals do not agree upon. When I am given a lowball price, I tend not to answer the e-mail. Please, be reminded if you have never seen one for sale at the price you are offering, then it is a low ball price.
My prices are reduced as time goes by; when the item in question does not sell. In rare instances I will raise the price of an item after something unforeseen happens that causes a scarcity of an item I may be fortunate enough to have in my inventory.
Your input is always important,… Reggie

Since you’ve posted two of my New York State harvest stories, I thought I’d tell you of my most recent.
This was two months ago (February, 2017). February is not the greatest time to go to upstate New York but there was a very sad reason for going. For what it’s worth, a couple of weeks after the trip, where I was going got upwards of 30” of heavy wet snow, not the light powdery lake effect snow that many of us are familiar with.
There are three casinos that opened in New York in January and February of 2017: Rivers in Schenectedy, Del Lago in Waterloo, and Tioga Downs in Nichols. Schenectady is right on the way to where I was going so that was no big deal except it’s in the city of Schenectady. The other two are out of the way but, since I was going the day before I had to be where I was going, I had plenty of time. Good news also is that I drive a hybrid so I didn’t particularly care about the excess mileage.
I gathered all the chips I wanted but there are a couple of funny stories.
At one of them, the dealer asked the pit boss who said I couldn’t just buy chips without playing. I explained that I’m a collector and I showed him my CCGTCC membership card. He then let me buy the couple of chips but I asked what the problem was since I/we do this all the time. The explanation was the fear of money laundering! We all had a good laugh at the realization that I wasn’t really laundering the less than $20.00 I put up.
At the other two, the dealers also asked the pit bosses because they didn’t know if they could just sell me chips. Nothing to do with money laundering, it was just that they had not had the request before (remember the casinos had only been open a month or two, if that). The pit bosses said no problem.
I also stopped at Turning Stone to make my annual plea to buy a couple of their poker room drop chips. These had not been used for years and had just been sitting in the vault, but the floor and cage have steadfastly refused to let them out over the years. This time, however, they were using them again so I thought (YEAH!) maybe their policy had changed. Unfortunately that was not the case despite my pleading, begging, groveling!
So, while the reason for the February trip to upstate New York was sad, I did get all the chips I wanted from the new casinos. Next trip I hope to get further west to the several Seneca casinos in search of the handful of chips I’m missing from them.

HAVRE MONTANA, NOTICE THE SPELLING; IT IS DERIVED FROM THE NORTHERN FRENCH CITY OF LE HAVRE. AS YOU SEE THEY DROPPED THE LE. I WAS BORN IN THIS METROPOLIS OF 12,OOO PEOPLE, IN THE LOCAL CATHOLIC HOSPITAL. THE SACRED HEART HOSPITAL. ENOUGH OF MY VITAL STATISTICS; P J’S IS ONE OF THE LOCAL WATERING HOLES WITH A RESTAURANT AND A COUPLE OF CARD TABLES AMID THE SLOT MACHINES THAT ARE SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.
I WALKED IN THE CASINO AND JUST BEYOND THE BAR I SAW ONE TABLE OF HOLDEM ACTION. I CASUALLY ASKED IF THERE WAS A BOARD NOTICING THE TABLE HAD NO VACANCIES CURRENTLY. THE BAR MAID SAID YOU WOULD BE NEXT, AND THAT SOUNDED PROMISING SO, I SAID I WILL TAKE THAT NEXT SEAT. MEANWHILE I TRIED TO TALK TO THE BAR MAID ABOUT THE TOWN. I TOLD HER I GREW UP IN GILDFORD AND CAME TO HAVRE TO RAISE HECK, WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER. AND SHE SAID DO YOU KNOW THE GUY IN 3 SEAT, HIS NAME IS …….. AND I SAID I SURE DO. I DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL I GOT IN THE GAME TO TALK TO HIM, IT WAS JUST AS WELL HE DID NOT WANT TO RELIVE ANY MEMORIES WE HAD. THAT WAS NOT VERY PLEASANT, BUT PEOPLE CHANGE AND SOMETIMES NOT FOR THE BETTER.
MEANWHILE, HAVING BEEN TO THIS PLACE BEFORE I KNEW THEY GUARDED THEIR CHIPS FIERCLY. ALSO, I FOUND OUT THE OWNER WAS SITTING IN CORNER BEHIND ME READING THE PAPER AND OCCASIONALLY TALKING TO A COUPLE OF OLD TIMERS. IT WAS GETTING LATE AND I WAS IN TOWN FOR A CLASS REUNION, I HAD LOT OTHER THINGS TO DO. BUT, BEFORE I COULD LEAVE I HAD TO SCORE A $5 CHIP, BUT; THEY WERE NOT IN PLAY AT THE TABLE, ONLY 50c & $1 CHIPS WERE AVAILABLE, I HAD MY TRUSTY CARGO PANTS POCKETS LINED WITH PJ’S 50c & $1 CHIPS ALREADY. THE DEALER SAID I NEED AN OK FROM PJ TO SELL THE 5’s. SO I GOT UP AND WALKED BACK TO ASK PJ, I TOLD HIM MY STORY, SAID I WAS COLLECTOR AND I WAS BORN & RAISED HERE, HE SAID OK ONLY ONE THOUGH…REGGIE http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=MTHVPJ

I AM REDUCING PRICES ON MOST OF THESE SETS, SOME WILL BE FACE VALUE, SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND WANT, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN SENDING ME AN EMAIL, PUTTING A SOLD SIGN ON THE CB IS NOT THE WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PURCHASE OR TRADE.

I WILL BE FEATURING ONE STATE PER PAGE OF THE DAY IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE, NO CHERRY PICKING REQUESTS, UNTIL I BREAK DOWN THE STATES INTO INDIVIDUAL CHIPS. IT WILL BE ONE TO TWO YEARS (2019-2020)BEFORE I BREAK ANY OF THE LARGER STATES AND WHEN I DO I WILL MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
A WORD ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE DUPLICATES ON THE PAGES. THESE ARE UV OR MOLD VARIATIONS. I AM NOT GOING TO PULL THESE OUT AT THIS TIME. SHOULD THIS BECOME A NEGOTIATING FACTOR AND THE BUYER ONLY WANTS JUST ONE CHIP AND THE UV’S AND MOLDS MATTER NOT, THEN I WILL REMOVE THEM AND ADJUST THE PRICE ACCORDINGLY.
FOLKS, MANY OF THESE CHIPS ARE ALIVE, AND STILL BEING USED ON THE TABLES TODAY. SHOULD YOU BE NEAR BY A CLUSTER OF CASINOS FROM ANY PARTICULAR STATE, YOU PROBABLY CAN COME OUT AHEAD. ALSO, PLEASE KNOW THAT I CONSTANTLY OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS UP GRADED. I BOUGHT ANY NEW CASINO ISSUES WHEN THEY COME OUT FROM THE LOCAL CHIPPER THAT OFFERED THEM FOR SALE ON THE CHIPBOARD.
