Hello Everyone; if you are reading this; it is probably Tuesday. I have been traveling up to Ocala to see a cousin. And back down to Sarasota to celebrate my wifes brothers 80th birthday. Then, back down to Bonita Springs. Lotsa traveling and lotsa fun was had by all.

CHIP TIPS FOR CHIP COLLECTORS

THOUGHTS ON TRADING


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. AND PLENTY OF FLEXIBILITY WITH YOUR PRICING.
• 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 INDIVIDUAL IS OFTEN QUITE DIFFERENT. I HAVE A POLICY FOR TRADING, AND WILL GLADLY SHARE WITH ALL THAT ASKS.
• CHIP SHOWS ARE ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO FIND TRADERS AND A TRADE SESSION. • ROUND ROBINS ARE ANOTHER WAY OF TRADING, THOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAL TO ME.
• I HAVE BEEN TRADING REGULARLY FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS. I HAVE HAD THOUSANDS OF TRADES OVER THESE FIFTEEN YEARS.

* I will trade Postcards, CA, MT or NV chips for MT chips.

*Please know that the single biggest reason some people do not like to trade with any one individual, by far; is because one of them over values his chips. In other words his chips are much more valuable than yours. Just sayin'...reg
