Extra! Extra! Reggie’s Weekly Note & Chip Tip

Hi Folks, have had a few mishaps this week, and I know it is just part of getting older. I apologize to everyone ahead of time for things that happen along the way, should I not notice it and correct it in good time. I do enjoy keeping active and filling holes for collectors, and I enjoy the communication that is required to complete a transaction. And I truly do want to thank those of you that are still sending emails and calling for a chip here and there. Reggie

Please visit my Montana chip collection on the Chip Query, to see if you have a chip (traders-pages 1-13)
that I can use or any traders of mine you can use.

New Arrivals Last Week:

NONE

Postings that could be done on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday I post:

3 Single CA chips
2 Single NV chips
1 Single Other States etc.
1 Single MT chip
1 Set of Chips
1 Postcard (5 on Sat.)
2 California Featured Chips (Scarce & Rare)
2 Nevada Featured Chips (Better Chips)
1 Page of California Chips (on Saturday’s-BOGO’s)
1 Page of Cheap Chips page whenever I can find enough strays to put the pages together.
Every Saturday: A message to the CB Readers
And on every Saturday another “SPOTLIGHTED SPECIAL FEATURE CHIP(S)”

The mid week will go like this on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday:

Tuesday – 2 Single Nevada and 3 Single California
Wednesday – 2 Featured California & 2 Featured Nevada
Thursday – 2 Single Nevada and 3 Single California

BUY-SELL-TRADE

Years ago while I was doing “My Page-A-Day” I would publish one of these “Chipper Tips”. I am going to try to include one each Saturday, up date it if I feel it needs it. Hopefully, this will still help a few of us remember to do the right thing when the subject matter is in question and folks if I am wrong PLMK, sincerely…Reggie

CHIP TIPS FOR CHIP COLLECTORS

A WORD OR TWO ON MY REVERSE AUCTIONS

FOLKS MY REVERSE AUCTIONS WILL EVENTUALLY BE SO REDUCED THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESIST. HOWEVER, I SHOULD POINT OUT TO YOU THAT A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE ARE ONE OF A KIND, IN OTHER WORDS; IF IT IS A CHIP I HAVE ONLY ONE, OR IF IT IS A SET OF CHIPS THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT I HAVE ONLY ONE SET.

ONCE THE CHIPS GET SO LOW AND THEY ARE EITHER FACE VALUE OR THE SETS ARE FACE VALUE, I WILL BREAK UP THE SETS AND/OR LOCK THE PRICE ON THE SINGLES TO EITHER JUST ABOVE FACE OR FACE VALUE. I REALLY WANT TO FIND HOMES FOR MY CHIPS I JUST DO NOT WANT TO PAY TO HAVE THEM TAKEN OFF MY HANDS.

I STARTED SELLING MY COLLECTION AND ANNOUNCED IT ON THE CHIP BOARD, SEVERAL YEARS AGO; FOR THE HARD TO GET ITEMS THEY WILL BE PUT ON THE REVERSE AUCTION STATUS. THE CHIP BOARD WILL ALWAYS GET FIRST SHOT AT MY CHIPS, I DO NOT DO EBAY. SOME COMMONS WILL HIT THE LOWEST OF THE LOW “THE VERY VERY CHEAP CHIPS” OFFERINGS.

MONTANA IS THE ONLY STATE I WILL BE MAINTAINING FOR MY COLLECTION. I AM CURRENTLY LIQUIDATING CALIFORNIA AND MY DUPES FROM ALL OTHER STATES.

I WILL CONTINUE TO DO REVERSE AUCTIONS ON THE FREQUENCY OF ONE EVERY YEAR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHIP BOARD. JUST BECAUSE…

THANKS FOR BENDING AN EAR TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT…REGGIE
