I gotta be honest and say it, but so far I'm a bit underwhelmed by the spot patterns so far. The 3rd spot on the bear claw of the $500 is almost invisible compared to the other two, which makes the chip face look somewhat twisted. The 418 pattern is somewhat wasted on the bright orange $1000Sec, and even the lack of contrast on the $5000Sec doesn't highlight the 814 spots.

So far the best looking chip is the primary snappers.

Can’t wait to see these up for sale!

Couldn't agree more. Those snappers will sellout in seconds.

 

[4RunnerRunner]

Yup, glad I pulled the trigger on HSI

Still going click faster than you guys for samples and THCs!

Will be interested to see how the sales are structured.

It will be like the other sales. snappers can only be 5% or so of your order so people will have to buy 1002 of 1's and 5's to get snappers

 

[Pgheddie]

Is that 5% of chips or 5% of total order price?

 

[FDLmold]

It's always # of chips. So the 5% chips, you have to buy 2000 total to get a rack. The 2% chips you have to buy 1000 total to get a barrel.

[Pgheddie]

So 1900 other chips to get a rack of something limited to 5% of total. So if I want 5 racks of snappers, I need 9,500 other chips....

No Starbucks for the wife this month.

yep, expect the snappers and $2 to be 5% so to get a full rack you'll need a big order

You spend HOW MUCH in starbucks for one month?

 

[Pgheddie]

Me. Maybe$9/ month.

The wife? I don't ask questions to which I don't want to know the answers.....

 

[Pgheddie]

So if snappers are limited to 5% and 2s are limited to 5%, I could get 5 racks of each if I buy another 9,000 chips? 1 rack of each of I buy another 1800?

 

[wolfpack]

no you can't even add one of the 5% chips until you have 95% of one of the non limited chips like the 1's or 5's. There are some spread sheets floating around that allow you to plugin numbers

 

[wolfpack]

for instance the HSI I got 300 split between 1's and 5's and that let me get 15 snappers and 15 quarters

You would have only had to buy 270 between 1s and 5s though, right? The 15 + 15 of the limited ones would bring total chips to 300 and neither of the limited ones would be greater than 5% of the total.

There is typically a limit of 2000 chips within the first hour. That allows for only 1 rack of the more rare chips that can only be 5% of total order.

no the 5% is 5% of your overall order.

 

[Pgheddie]

Are there any chips left from the last sales? Some of the links seem to still be up.

Its all about allowing the most people to get the chips they want while at the same time not leaving Jim with tons of chips that aren’t as popular. He has been at this game a long time and has really mastered the system.

 

[wolfpack]

look at the previous sales threads for the rules

Rules
1) Horseshoe Southern Indiana chips are limited to 2000 chips per household.
2) All orders MUST comply to the denomination percentage limits or they will be cancelled and refunded (no exceptions)
3) No multiple orders to hit your percentages. Each order must comply to the percentages or it will be cancelled and refunded.

 

[Colquhoun]

Once the hour is up and restrictions are lifted, any remaining highly-desired chips will go in about 2.4 seconds.

 

[Pgheddie]

So the 5% limit is only for the first hour?

 

[GianThaMan]

So the 5% limit is only for the first hour?

Yes, but by the end of the hour, all of the mint IHC chips and THC chips will have been gone for a while.

 

[mnebesny]

And those beautiful RHC 2s...

 

[wolfpack]

and snappers

 

[davislane]

If I have to guess Im going to say there is only going to be secondaries for $25 and above. I hope Im wrong but we will know soon enough.
