Extra!7 New Arrival’$, Chip Tip & Weekly Note!

Folks, On Friday the 4th of Aug thru the 7th of Aug there will be no posts by yours truly. On Aug 8th I will do my previous Saturdays post and catch up for that week end.
I have almost tripled the size of my medium priced Nevada chips as of this date. Check them out on Thursdays, possible you may find that elusive NV chip you need to plug a hole in your collection. Also, in the mail over the next couple of weeks I am expecting some super rare Nevada chips, don’t forget to check my new arrivals on Saturday’s.

To save money buying chips from my posts, here are some tips:

1) Remember I ship via United States Post Office (USPS) so by buying more than one chip you will most definitely save you money. Try to remember I have a hold service; by shipping several chips you save.
2) I trade, and yes this over the last few years has lost it popularity, however it still is the best way to save money in this hobby. And yes a trade/cash combo works, too!
3) A third way, tried and true; is to send me a listing, short list or larger list and make me an offer. I may make a counter offer, but know this; it still will result in a considerable savings.
4) Here are various ways to create cash discounts:
a) To get at least a 10% discount spend at least $100 (single chip or a total of $100)
b) To get padded envelope shipments be a regular customer with hold service.
c) Over $100 sales will require a bit of negotiations.

CHIP TIPS FOR CHIP COLLECTORS

MY PRICING

Pricing is an opinion of worth or value. It is always good to be able know exactly how much you should ask for an item. But, pricing is not an exact science. My prices range from 50% face value up.
My pricing structure is always a struggle. Over all I gauge my pricing on these facts:
1) How much I paid
2) How many I have in my inventory
3) The commonness or scarcity of the item
4) Guide Value (if a guide is available)
On occasion I must take serious offers, because of unavailable pricing indicators. Again, this is something that individuals do not agree upon. When I am given a lowball price, I tend not to answer the e-mail. Please, be reminded if you have never seen one for sale at the price you are offering, then it is a low ball price.
My prices are reduced as time goes by; when the item in question does not sell.
In rare instances I will raise the price of an item after something unforeseen happens that causes a scarcity of an item I may be fortunate enough to have in my inventory.
Your input is always important,… Reggie
