Hey, everyone. I want to give a shout out to the admins of the chip guide and a suggestion to the rest of you. I've made some really great trades using the TradeMaker tool on the Chip Guide and I appreciate it being available to us, so thanks to all that make that happen. I compare my want list with other people's traders lists and when a name shows up in green, I know there's a potential new chip I can add to my collection. It's the easiest treasure hunt out there. For a while now, everyone's name was in red (no one had any chips I was looking for), but just tonight, a name was green and I found another potential trade. He has 2 different chips from a casino I need. I flipped the search to show who's looking for chips I have, scrolled down to his name (thankfully green again, meaning I had something he wanted - turns out I have several) and it turns out that I have one from a casino he needs that has an equal book value to both of his combined. Rather than have him send me cash for the difference, I offered to trade my one for his two and I'll have one for my collection and I'll sell/trade the other to someone else - assuming he agrees to the trade! Of course, he may opt to trade one of his for several of my other lower value chips and that's fine as well. I bring this up because I feel a lot of you are not taking advantage of this free tool, and in not doing so, you're a) overlooking an EXCELLENT way to get chips you need using chips you don't want, and b) you're potentially depriving me of adding to my collection - . Even if you can't find someone to do an even trade with, you can always offset with some cash or other casino stuff or just offer a one-way outright purchase (or sale). Anyway, I have over 500 chips in my trader list, so you should definitely check it out to see if I have anything you want. Then look at my want list and see if you have anything I want. Anyway, start clickin'!
** NOTE ** You have to have an account on the Chip Guide (free) to create your want/trader lists and to see the TradeMaker link on the bottom left by your name/profile.
