Are they all RHC?

Deleted....Duplicate post.

Are they all RHC?

Yeah. Unfortunately. However, they still appear quite pretty so a lot of people seem to be able to look the other way here.

Sort of like seeing a really pretty woman who likes to talk about her cats a whole lot.

You can deal with that because, well... her edge spots are just so beautiful.

 

[MD Mike]

Actually some of the higher denominations are IHC... but I wouldn’t ever need to go that high so I forgot they existed

Updated the sheet's formulas to calculate the percentages based on the total of Primary and Secondary chips combined. You can save locally to excel or make a copy and make all the edits you need.

Thanks! There is a small problem with the "Within Limits" column. You are not taking into account that the limits apply to the combined purchase of primary and secondary chips. In other words, if I purchase 2000 chips, I cannot purchase 100 primary 5K AND 100 secondary 5K. On your spreadsheet, however, it would say this configuration is "Within Limits".

Stupid question but.... where do you place the order through? I don't see a website. The original post mentioned a shopping cart so I assumed it's on a website somewhere. If not, where will the link be? Will it be in Post #1 in this thread (the original poster edits his post and adds it in there)?

Once the sale starts there will be links added to the OP for each chip. It runs through PayPal.

I made an updated spreadsheet that takes that into account. Try this one.

Thanks for this.

And when does Chip Room announce when the sale will start? Do I need to keep coming here to refresh this page?

And how much time will there be between the announcement of sale date to the actual sale date?

I'm worried that 1) I'll miss the announcement and 2) Once it's announced, the actual sale starts too soon after so that I don't even have time to place an order?

 

[FDLmold]

The sale will be on one of the next two Sundays last I read.

From the original post by Jim:

**We will add the date and time, pictures, grand opening chips and sample sets by tomorrow

You'll be able to schedule just fine.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Last newbie/dumb question - I know primaries are first line casino chips and secondaries are their backups. In this case it's all brand new, so are you guys picking them just based on design alone? Are there other considerations like resale value and things of that nature? Not that I care, because I don't look at poker chips as investments. I plan on playing home games with them and showing them off to friends.

 

[guyfleegman]

So, what’s the resale value gonna be on the $1000’s?

Just get the ones that you want... particularly since you plan on using them.

There are obviously some chips (.25, 500, 1000) that people seem to be really into, so it may make sense to get those even if you don't end up using them.

There will be plenty of notice. Check back to the OP of this thread. The start time will probably be posted today.

Thanks! Didn't realize it's a combined limit. I've updated the original sheet as well, as I can see some folks still accessing that version.

@saleen121212 has been awful quiet...

Edit: or maybe we were each other’s kangaroos?

What happened?

 

[Ethan]

What happened?

Just missing your banter around the parts!

 

[Sparty]

What happened?

I think some of these degenerates were accusing you of being the disruptive kangaroo.

 

[Jonesey07]

So I'm not planning on making an order, but my ordering services could be offered out if anyone is so inclined. PM me.

Busy trying to plan 3 orders for these lol. Mass chaos in the pm/text department.

[dr-octopuss]

Hi I would like to buy a 5$ rack but if I get it right I can’t do it alone...So if anyone is ok to add me on his order, pm me please.

You can wait until the hour is up and then buy whatever you want.

Many people think the 5's will still be around then, but up to you if you want to take your chances.

 

[WedgeRock]

Looking for a single $1000 chip. Adding it to someone's order seems silly, as shipping and re-shipping will double the price.

Guess I'll roll the dice in the secondary market and/or try once the limits are removed.

@Boother36, are you picking your order up? If I can add a solo $1000, would you mind picking up 1 extra chip and delivering it next time I see you at the felt?

So I have never had nor have I considered getting mint chips before this sale but I am going to get caught by the bug and be involved somehow.

My question for you all that will be involved or have mint chips, do you plan on using them or will these be just a show piece? If I am involved, I will put them in play, but I am just curious as to how you all approach it.

 

[seyff45]

depends on the person, but my thoughts are to get these on the table.

Pretty sure 97% of us buy chips to play.

I've bought a lot of chips over the years -- seriously, a lot of chips -- but I've ALWAYS bought chips that I liked (at least at the time when I purchased them; people's tastes can change). And everything else is totally secondary to that main driver.

Similar philosophy on selling. Most of the chips that leave (not many) are those that either I don't "really really" like anymore, or more likely, because I've found or purchased other chips since, that I like even better.

I'm basically just leasing them all anyway, since in the long run, when I'm done and gone, the money balance will pretty much be a wash. So why bother with anything that you don't really like or have a passion for? Get what makes you happiest, and gives you the most enjoyment. The rest of it is relatively unimportant.

Get a sample set for display. Chips are for gaming.
