Thanks @TheChipRoom for bringing these to the community! They look awesome.

Its a beautiful color but I dont think the condition will match up with most. Only maybe would be the pri 25s, but even those I think will be better condition.

So is everybody assuming that all the primaries, except maybe for the $25s, are vg-nm?

 

[Altheman003]

I wouldn’t get high hopes of the lower denoms being NM. He already said there was mint chips at the top of some barrels, but won’t be separating them from the used chips. Even being open for only a few years, it doesn’t take very much for flea bites to show up on RHC’s.

Some will get lucky and get some minty primaries though (hope it’s me). I see a lot of cherry picking coming up, with the less than perfect chips popping up in the classifieds.

This is the last update on my package

Shipment Received, Package Acceptance Pending

Your shipment was received at 3:53 pm on May 11, 2022 in LOS ANGELES, CA 90009. The acceptance of your package is pending.

I think the base on the HSI was day green and this one is just green.

My sample set is still in LA but when it arrives I will be comparing with the primary HSI's that I have and can take pics.

Also I'll try running the set through my ultrasonic if dirty at all to see what results there.

I was just about to pm @TheChipRoom as the USPS to Canada used to be lightening fast and something has changed (looked like a partner is involved).

My status matches yours exactly whereas two other locals went onto the next step (CanadaPost -> Richmond -> Burnaby -> Delivery) and received their packages yesterday/today.

In my experience the only way to get a USPS package to move is to submit a ticket to USPS with the tracking number and then the package moved right away.

I recieved dealer buttons from Himwad a few months ago from a group buy in 4 days total....it was magic.

I am wondering perhaps our chips are at the side of the railway tracks in those piles of cardboard we have seen online..... hoping they are just in the bin waiting.

I got a guy. A Canadian mountie who keeps the customs guys in check.

I guess I got lucky, mine aren't too bad. They do seem to have some UV dust, and at least in my set it seems to come off of both the primary and secondary $25 onto the surface and my hands.

..that’s not dust

Only an issue if you have a black light poker room.

This set has no tri-moon ha

 

[Jonesey07]

Out of place comment but I can't find the colors for these chips. I also need the colors for the Jack Detroit chips! If anyone can assist, please PM me!!!

I’m really digging that pink and purple.

Jim posted the colors. I think on page 2 or 3. Someone else reposted later in the thread. They're here. Go to post 1, click on Jim's name and look as his posts. He hasn't posted much since.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. I also found some in the ChipDB!

 

[Ben8257]

Did everyone else's sample have decent primary hundos? The only chip that we recieved that were pretty used were the Hundos in both sample sets.

Not terrible and I am far from a condition snob but worthy of noting.

I love these chips but don't dig the inlay. Has anyone murdered any of these yet? In the name of science..

Mine was very good++ (maybe even excellent)

Here's some images of racked chips. I must say these primary chips are in great shape. I personally have racked the chips. When I reach in the barrels, they feel more like new chips than any other used chips I have felt. Most of the $1s are new. Many of the $5s are new. Less on the $25s. But all have sharp edges. I have only seen a couple of flea bites.

 

[opengun]

I sure hope I can snag a 400-500 chip set

 

[xdan]

Thanks Jim @TheChipRoom

Now.. the million dollar question? When will the sale page go up?

 

[Bill_Man618]

@Tommy i hope you’ve been investing in the servers because they’re gonna be put to the test during this sale.

You shouldn’t have an issue getting $1- $100 chips from either the primary or secondary sets. The snappers may be tough, but certainly doable in the 1st minute or 2. Anything $500 or above will be harder. Im going all out on this sale and getting chips from both primary and secondary and am not worried that I’ll get my chips. Only thing I’m slightly worried about is the $1k’s.

This will be my first big sale. I’ll be paying attention to all the presale activities so I’m ready to go when time comes.

Thanks Jim - do you know when you will be posting prices?

 

[BlackJackStarCity]

For me
$1 Primary or Secondary
$2.50 Secondary
$5Secondary
$25 Secondary
$100Primary or Secondary
$500 Secondary

I might just stick to the secondary's just to keep the set consistent.

Now I need to understand how to be part of the sale or auction and shipping costs to Australia. Any instructions I should read?

Hopefully soon. I'm working hard on racking. I used to have 4 workers for times like this, now I have 1 and she's still in school

Please, take it easy & don't rush @TheChipRoom, a sale taking place in early June would be perfect... I only say this because Ima be flying back on the 29th lol.

As a first time member of the unemployed population, it would be my honor to lend a hand towards such an important business in need of temporary help! I have previous experience too
