Oh well crap. Sorry all I didn’t see any conflict as these were totally sold out and the two products didn’t seem closely related.
Jim is the best. I still am pissed I missed out on some tables a few months ago when he drove thru, but it was bad timing. Just buy twice as many chips next time and he will forgive you....
Yeah, I see it now. Without being on that side didn’t think to see it as competing. Edited my post, but no way to edit my idiocy where it’s been quoted, right? Tried being helpful.
This should be pinned for every single sale. Every time excitement, then a few disappointed, then the cranky pop up. He has given us access to more chips then nearly anyone else, I can't even count high enough for the sets he's got into play... The highest I can count is 4, but still.
Josh,
Send me some pics and I could make the drive!
I’m going through Jim’s vendor pages now to make sure I know what’s out there, what I can refer others to, and see what else I can spend.
Better PM them...
Oh man, some sales on the blue wall were legendary. And I think the Jack's sale will be remembered at that same level in a few years.
Jim sends me selfies all the time, I figured he would just add them to the daily mail...
If it's any condolences I attempted to make a post about a guy cleaning dice chips, when he was in fact actually cleaning real dice... looked like a real jackass....ooops....
Would be better if it were possible to add the items to your cart and it would "reserve" them for a period of time like when you order movie tickets, hold them for 5 min or something to let you complete adding things to your cart without losing the things you've already added. That was the issue I ran into. I added something to my cart, checked to see if it would check out, then once clear went back and added something else and by the time I did that the first item had sold out. Something like that could alleviate the shipping charge issue as well.
Course I guess someone could just log in and load everything in their cart and hold it for 5 minutes angering the masses...but I guess if he bought them it wouldn't be much different than it is now.
Again, I think this comes with time (since once can be an aberration). If an individual is repeatedly buying chips en masse only to routinely release them later at a higher price, you’ve encountered a flipper in the wild.
Wonderful news, and thanks again for all the hard work you put in to bring these sales to us!!!

When I checked out one of the items was out of stock and it told me which it was and I was easily able to remove and try again. I was on mobile.For the future, Jim you really need to ditch this paypal checkout page you’ve been using. It’s 100% useless. You’re making sufficient profit on your sales that you should be able to afford a decent online retail sales portal. It’s 2019 for God’s sake
Your current checkout page will let you add whatever items you want to your shopping cart, and only upon checking out will tell you the generic message “Sorry your items aren’t available”, leaving the want-to-be purchaser to go back and remove every item from their cart to try to find out what isn’t available, and later re-add their entire order chip by chip, all while inventory quantities are rapidly changing. It makes the purchasing process essentially impossible, especially when combined with rules on chip quantities which the buyer is trying to adhere to. The entire experience is so bad that it puts you off wanting to participate in these sales at all.
As a seller, your customer service is stellar - you are responsive, shipping is reliable, products are good, etc. Your sales portal let’s the process down, however.
Tip: how about having one sale page, with options for adding all of the denominations in the sale, which actually shows the quantities remaining?? This would make the process a little bit less of a guessing game/lottery!
cheers!
