Picking up South Lake Tahoe Chips

I'm going to South Lake Tahoe on Thursday to pick up denominations from $1 to $100 for anyone who wants them. In particular, I'll be going to the new Golden Nugget (formerly Hard Rock). If you want me to get any chips for you from South Lake Tahoe, send me an email or text with your want list. My email address is barry@sunset.net and my ph# is 530-570-2222.

Here's how I'm pricing things:

Face value of chips + $5 per casino + $10 "order charge". Includes 1st class mailing.

If you want 1st class package with tracking, add $5.

If you want more than 10 chips or if you want extra padding, I'll send them via 2-day priority (add $10).

Any additional tips are greatly appreciated but quite optional.

Casinos in the area include:

Golden Nugget (formerly Hard Rock), opened 9/13/2023
Bally's (formerly Montbleu, formerly Ceasar's, probably formerly many others, LOL), opened 2021
Harrah's, opened 1955
Harvey's, opened 1944

For the Golden Nugget chips, I will take special care to get only flawless chips. If they'll sell them from the cage, I'll go that route, but casinos seem less likely to allow that these days. GN chips are less than 2 months old, so they should mostly be in good shape.

All other casinos will be purchased from the tables, and while I'll try not to end up with any horrible looking chips, I won't be spending a ton of time annoying the dealers and pit bosses by buying and selling stacks to go through. If, however, you'd like me to take that extra time, I DO tip staff that put up with this (as long as they don't sigh repeatedly) and so I'd expect you to throw something extra my way if you want me to get you the best of the best.

If you are one of the 8 people that reached out to me for Reno/Tahoe chips prior to the SNCCC show, I already have you on my list for Tahoe chips, but if you'd like to amend your order (add duplicates, other denoms, other casinos), send me another email/text and I'll take care of it.

My venmo ID is @Barry-Sherwood. My PayPal ID (friends & family, please) is barry@sunset.net.
