Reply...I spend at least 100 hours a month looking for chips. Daily I am looking at this Board, eBay, Craigslist and any other site I might find chips. I go every weekend (sometimes during the week too)to look at faires, shops, shows or sales in near by (and not so near by) towns. I incorporate almost all of our vacations into chip hunts....shhhh!!.......don't tell the wife !! she might not of caught on yet 😉
There are many times when I go out all weekend, drive 100's of miles and find nothing..but the thrill of the hunt keeps me going.
I am also finding that I sometimes enjoy the history of gaming establishments more than the chips themselves.
