Every sale from Jim there are more and more people punching the unicorn. Please stop.
Any idea how many golden tickets there were?

Sorry I am like 5 pages back and so if we have moved on, my bad.
Jim just needs to start auctioning off chips by the rack. It'll get rid of all these "I HAD to buy 2000 chips so I could get my barrel of 25K's. I don't need or want the rest so I have to unload them... but what am I supposed to do... just give them away? How is that fair to everyone? The only fair thing to do for the community is to auction them off."
I think Jim just needs to roll with a Silent Auction. Submit your offers with your best price over a 24hr period. That way those that think chips are worth $1000 per rack can get as many as they want with a Thank You, and good luck trying to flip them.
Then those that want to pay $75 a rack can throw their hat in the ring and if it wasn't enough, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Jim wouldn't have to be transparent to who he sells to at what price, and there would be very little reason for people to bitch about anything. They will find something, but they're just trolls looking to troll.
Also, Jim isn't doing this for the community any more than a drug dealer is doing it to help addicts find the stuff they need. This is a straight up business. He isn't maximizing profits, but this is a lucrative side hustle so he can afford to sacrifice capital on the sales end in exchange for ease and efficiency of ordering/distribution.
The idea that acquiring chips anywhere is somehow related to "community" is Laugh Out Loud fucking ridiculous. It is, and has been, cut-throat for quite some time now. If people are getting hooked up with less than "Market Prices" that isn't "community", that is friendship.

That's halarious, and I do hope Jim leaves a nice gift for his postman every year!
But for PCF every year Jim does a giveaway for 1 golden ticket. I was lucky enough to win this year
Looks like 70 others knew that I won... not exactly secret when Tommy post publically who won the giveaway.

Jim is a business man. Saying this is equivalent to me saying "Jim has used this hobby to make himself rich". Neither of us really know what we are talking about, but it doesn't make either of us wrong. His business, so far, is the only one to repeatedly acquire closed casino chips.
That's funny shit. I was more looking for a solution to make these sales easier on the pokerchipforum, not Jim. Not sure his meme is going to silence much bitching. It's also worth a note that he is referring to this as his job. I find it hilarious that people see this as Jim doing us a favor. We can't wait to literally throw our money at him.
FWIW, I appreciate the service Jim provides, but I appreciate it and see it for what it is, a business taking advantage of monopoly. Given the opportunity I would too.

So now instead of checking PCF every 3 mins, Im checking PCF and the post office link for expected delivery! Best part of being self employeed, I dont have to call in sick to work so I can wash my new babies when they arrive!
This forum has > 10,000 members. Of course it will go fast. Oh the humanity!!!!
If Jim wanted to he could just cherry pick certain buyers.
Quityerbitchin!

Well damn... what a day for the mail lady to be late! Nothin!!!
Hopefully that old lady didn't figure out what those two boxes are worth... and it's OK, I can do this @Josh Kifer style (aka Mr. Eastwood)
Any minute now she should be along. Guess I could pluck those weeds in the walkway while I wait but 93 degrees... maybe later! Lol

Damn, Ben is EXACTLY the type of person I thought he was. He’s rushing home to open another trove of chips while jamming to Tim McGraw/Taylor Swift. A truly emotional experience.
I love this man.
That was my first thought as well! (Followed by, "how the hell is he wearing jeans and boots in +37c heat?!?"

I was disc golfing during the sale and tried to get an order in from my phone and I managed to miss everything i was going for. The good news: "babe you'll never believe it I just saved us $1500"
I hope everyone who got chips enjoys them!

That's the way to do it.... I heard if you sit on a porch and drink a beer, a package from Josh Kifer arrives....

I'm a construction worker, not a lawyer or Doctor... we have all walks of life in this amazing hobby. Them boots ain't shinny either, Georgia Loggers with the CC7 inserts baby.That was my first thought as well! (Followed by, "how the hell is he wearing jeans and boots in +37c heat?!?"
@CraigT78 6.5 acres all to ourselves and I prefer this veiw.. the river is about 3/8 of a mile back and flows through our property, we have been busting our asses for years now cleaning the place up
May only be 2400 Sq ft of home, but for some it's the freedom and space we need more than huge houses. BTW ole Zillow says $625k for our slice of heaven... I wouldn't sell for double that!
FYP bro, it was set up for a perfect rhyme and you killed it...
Old neighbor lady is getting upset about the mail, she must be expecting chips too, it's 1/4 mile to the mail boxes and she has drove up there twice already.
** update**
I go in to do my business and wouldn't you know... that whole "watch pot never boils thing is absolutely correct!"
Now lord give me the patience to wait for my beautiful better half to make it home! It is only fair that I wait.

I kinda want you to livestream the unboxing.
Wasn't a criticism at all - we all have to wear our respective "uniforms" but I can assure you, on a hot summer day the first thing I'm doing when I get home is throwing on a pair of shorts! I hate pants!
Your plot of land reminds me of camping in the forest back home in Canada - gorgeous.
Jealous of you Yanks getting your chips already - can't wait for mail day here in Switzerland
