CHIP TIPS FOR CHIP COLLECTORS

HAVE YOU EVER RUN INTO THIS?

*THIS IS A COLLECTION OF VERY FRUSTRATING SCENERIOS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY HAPPENED. IF YOU CARE TO SEND SOME ADDITIONAL OCCURANCES AND HOW YOU TOOK CARE OF IT. PLEASE DO.[b/]
If you can, please; help out with some solutions to these.• You initiate a trade or the party in question initiates a trade; and after a while and exhausting all avenues, you realize that the other party is just jacking you around, never was serious about it, reneges on his/her word, with draws original offer, or just quits answering your email. This was a CCA member.
• Are contacted through the Chipboard or other means; for a trade but the trader insists on you shipping the agreed upon trade items first, but; cannot give you references of previous trades with other CCA members. And makes the statement this is the way I always do it.
• Asked to hold something, with a promise of payment, that never comes?
• Been told after paying the seller in full; that your chips were mailed to someone else by mistake. This is usually a scam to buy time, because they may or may not have them to begin with? They possibly were waiting for your money to float themselves a loan.
• Been the victim of receiving, very dirty, damaged, chips that were not described as such? Should you have to put up with a buyer beware policy that has just been laid on you?
• Received orders from brand new, or novice collectors and have had to try to educate them in the short while of processing their order, tactfully? There is a lot of things that can go wrong during this transaction. Can use some pointers on this one myself.
• Been asked to re-ship non casino/chip related items internationally?
• Sold an item on the Chipboard and then marked it sold, only to be notified by the buyer they have changed their mind. Or after 3 emails not even a return of your email questions of are you buying or not.
• Sent an email to a seller on the Chipboard requesting information, asking a question about “a for sale item”, or listing an item that you are looking for; and/or any other informational quest? And never get a response? (Both you and the person in question are CCA members)
• Make an error and been accused of being a hustler by a “non-member” of the CCA?
• Been approached for a trade, meanwhile the same person is trying to trade with others for the same items.
• Been a recipient of a “phishing expedition” email? With very nice chips as bait?
• Answered a post on the CB only to discover you are a late responder. This is not so bad, but to find out that you not only are late but the 3rd or 4th, to respond. Wouldn’t be nice for the Poster to let everyone know this on the CB?
• I made an order and paid for it (pay pal)on the 1st of the Month…after inquiring if and when the order was shipped, I was told that the order was shipped yesterday that he was a day late getting it out. “Yesterday” was the 6th of the month the same day he got my inquiry, not even close to the day it was paid for
• Here is one that happened to me, this person is a dealer, an antiques store owner (sez he doesn’t need money) sent me an order I made on the CB, the order was incorrect and he immediately launches into a tirade blaming me for everything, simply because I asked him to make it right or I would accept the correct chips and send him back the ones that were not correct. Also, he refunded my money with out me asking for it. There were a number of other flaws in his behavior that became very evident, but I will not bore you with the details.
• Had someone request an item(s) that have a time dated offer connected to it, and not come through with a
payment, disallowing other patrons the opportunity to purchase those items? Had your email addresses hacked and had a phony request for funds sent out to all your friends?
