Extra!22 New Arrival’$ Chip Tip & Weekly Note!

Well this week comprised of a lot of seeing Dr’s + the Hot Wire Installation crew of which the later was a dream (at least for now). I started to dispense a lot of my convention hauls. Nothing new in the mail to put on the new arrival list. Today you will see some of that stuff. I mis-counted there were only 10, sorry.

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; over the last few years trading 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

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
