questions you are posing, but here is something that might help out. I wrote this about a month ago...Reggie

5000+ TRADERS ON THE CHIP GUIDE, NOW

WE HAVE A NEW TOY FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE INCLINED TO TRADE AMONGST OUR FRIENDS AND CLUB MEMBERS. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, ONLY CLUB MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED TO PERUSE THE TRADE LIST, WANT LIST AND COLLECTIONS OF THOSE MEMBERS THAT HAVE TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO LIST THE ABOVE IN THE CHIP QUERY FACILITY.
CHIP COLLECTORS PLEASE KNOW THIS, WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN ANY ONES TRADE LIST PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT THESE PICTURES OF THE CHIPS YOU ARE LOOKING AT; ARE THE ONES THAT WERE USED BY THE ADMINISTRATORS THAT WERE SENT THE PICTURES BY THE ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTORS. THAT INCLUDES MINE. WHEN YOU ARE ASKING ME THE PRICE, OR ARE INITIATING A TRADE I WILL BE LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT CONDITION THAT MY CHIP(S) ARE. I WILL PROBABLY BE SENDING YOU AN ACTUAL PHOTO OF THE CHIPS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.
AMONG MY TRADERS THERE WILL BE MY SETS (OVER 200 OF THEM) IN EACH CASE, WHEN SOMEONE SELECTS A CHIP FROM ONE OF MY SETS; I WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER WHETHER THE SET SHOULD BE SOLD INTACT OR WHETHER I SHOULD SELL THE CHIP AND BREAK IT UP.
ALSO, IN LISTING MY MASSIVE GROUP OF TRADERS, I HAVE FOUND MANY NUANCES. THE COLOR(S), MOLDS, REVERSE INSERTS, CONDITIONS, ULTRA VIOLET MARKINGS (UV’s), ETC.
WHEN YOU GET READY TO CHECK THIS VERY USEFUL TOOL OUT, HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO SAVE YOU SOME TIME IF YOU ARE ‘PUTER ILLITERATE AS YOURS TRULY:
CLICK REGION TO START A SPECIFIC SEARCH THEN CLICK THE COUNTRY YOU WANT; USA. CLICK STATE IF YOU ARE A NEVADA COLLECTOR THEN CLICK NEVADA ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BOTTOM. CLICK COLLECTIBLE TYPE IF YOU ARE POSTCARD COLLECTOR; OR CHIP COLLECTORS. YOU CAN NARROW YOUR SEARCH DOWN EVEN MORE TO THE DENOMINATIONS IF YOU ARE A DOLLAR COLLECTOR. AND THE REST ARE THERE TO HELP YOU EVEN MORE. PLEASE THANK CHARLES KAPLAN WHEN YOU SEE HIM OR COMMUNICATE WITH HIM, HE DESERVES A LOT OF KUDOS.
