Chip Tip & Weekly Note! Please Read 
Well, he said;; that is a deep subject. I am giving myself about 6 months to a year to sell off all of my inventory. All of it except the Montana chips, of which will go to which ever one of my kids wants the collection of 900-1000 MT chips & 100 or so doubles. I have already started, and have had some good results. I am slowly preparing some catalog inventory sheets on my computer and can email the the inventory in increments once I get them all done. The Nevada is almost completed. I will have them all done by late Sunday. However; I am not interested in doing any wholesaling of the good stuff at this time all the lower priced items must be sold first. So all of that are getting low on traders and the newer stuff, and need really attractive traders, Grouping 1, 2 & 3 will be the tickets. I am about 1/2 through my pricing, and have some images along with asking prices for the first group which is the sets. I am not inclined to give any discounts beyond the price I have set for the SETS in group #1; unless you are or have been a good past customer. Believe me when, I say I have kept decent records over these 20 + or – years. I have about made special image catalogs for this monumental sale. Thank you for reading this, any questions? Please inquire to my email addy. Images will be sent to those that are sincerely interested. I will continue make my postings on Mon-thru Sat., and a special posting on Sunday. Thank you for reading this

Sunday: Will probably be a day of rest.
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.

IT IS BY FAR THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY TO GROW YOUR COLLECTION.
WHEN YOU TRAVEL, BUY SEVERAL CHIPS FROM CASINO’S YOU VISIT, INSTEAD OF ONE OR TWO. BE PARTICULAR WHEN YOU BUY THEM, GET THEM IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
BY DOING THIS YOU WILL BE IN A MORE ECONOMICAL POSTION TO TRADE FOR CHIPS YOU WANT IN YOUR COLLECTION.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PROPONENT OF TRADING. I AVERAGED 2 OR 3 TRADES EVERY WEEK. (BACK IN THE DAY)
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT TRADING ON THE CHIPBOARD OVER THE YEARS. HERE ARE PROBLEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE DO NOT LOOK AT WHILE TRYING TO REASON WHY NO ONE WANTS TO TRADE WITH THEM.
1) WHEN THEY PUT UP IMAGES OF THEIR TRADERS THEY ARE FILTHY DIRTY AND/OR TOTALLY THRASHED.
2) WHEN VISITING A CASINO AND PURCHASING ONLY ONE OR TWO CHIPS YOU ARE NOT INCREASING YOUR TRADE INVENTORY, AND BY NOT INCREASING YOUR TRADE INVENTORY YOU ARE NOT INCREASING YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO TRADE.
3) TRYING TO INITIATE TRADES ONCE EVERY MONTH OR TWO, DOES NOT SERVE YOU WELL EITHER. YOU NEED TO ADVERTISE SO PEOPLE REMEMBER YOU.
4) KEEP LETTING YOUR CHIPPER FRIENDS KNOW THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TRADING.
5) BUILD A NETWORK OF FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES THAT WILL HELP YOU OUT WHEN YOU NEED A CHIP FROM A CERTAIN CASINO.
6) THESE ARE SOME IDEAS THAT I THINK WILL HELP, THAT IS IF YOU WANT TO GROW YOUR COLLECTION…REGGIE
