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

Hello Chippers and da’ Kind; Once again I am re-working my inventory, prices are still dropping as usual, and I am helping the process along on selected items. I have considered many ways to continue reducing my California inventory. And nothing seems to have any value; but slowly dropping the prices down to whatever level you the collector considers to be a fair price. And by-the-way thank you for all your past requests. Reggie

**I will be sending out to my Hold Service people, their state of accounts by this time next week, approximately the 25th of November.

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

BUY, SELL & TRADE


MANY OF YOU PROBABLY WONDERED IF I WAS A DEALER. THAT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE; WHEN IT COMES TO “CHIPPIN”.
I WOULD HAVE GONE BANKRUPT THE FIRST YEAR I WENT ON THE CHIPBOARD ADD THE FACT I DO NOT EVEN DO EBAY; AND EACH EVERY YEAR THAT FOLLOWED.
MANY YEARS AGO IN THE COMIC BOOK COLLECTING HOBBY, I LEARNED THE FINE ART OF “BUY, SELL & TRADE”. ONCE I MADE THE PLUNGE IN 1995 TO BE A CHIP COLLECTOR, I REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE HOBBY OF CHIP COLLECTING WITH OUT SUPPLEMENTING IT WITH SOME SALES AND TRADES.
SO, SOMEWHERE AROUND 1996 I DISCOVERED THE CHIP BOARD, THE BLOG BOARD THAT GREG SUSONG SO CAREFULLY ORGANIZED AND PUT TOGETHER FOR US NOVICE COLLECTORS TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. I IMMEDIATELY SOUGHT OUT THOSE THAT WERE WILLING TO TRADE, AND THAT SEEMED TO WORK VERY WELL FOR ME.
I ALSO REALIZED WHEN TRAVELING I NEEDED TO BUY MORE THAN ONE CHIP TO INCREASE MY TRADER INVENTORY. THE REST OF THE STORY HAS BEEN RECORDED ON THE CHIP BOARD. BTW, MOST CHIP DEALERS WON’T CONSIDER TRADING. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME THAT DO, AND THEY GET BOTH MY TRADES & CASH.
I REALIZE HOW HARD IT IS TO GET STARTED ON A LIMITED BUDGET, AND BEING A BLUE COLLAR WORKER MUCH OF MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER HAD A LOT OF MONEY TO POUR INTO MY COLLECTION, SO I IMPROVISED BY, TRADING AND SELLING.
IF ANY ONE IS INTERESTED AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HOW I WENT FROM 100 CHIPS TO OVER 10,000 IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCES AND THOUGHTS.
SINCERELY YOUR TRADER FRIEND, REGGIE
