If anyone has any of these beauties they're willing to part with, I have a rack in progress that I'm trying to fill. Any quantity at all. Even singles

Thanks!

A single just popped up on eBay via auction, might be worth asking the seller if they have access to any more of them. Beautiful chip!

Awesome! Thank you. I'll be grabbing this one Also sent a PM to the seller.

Not sure how much you are willing to spend per chip, but here is a link

Thanks. I emailed David to see how many they still have left. Looks like he has 14 of them. Gonna snag them up

Somebody else must have seen this link and tried to buy them. Shady people man, shady people

Wow, that's really lame. Did this backstabber actually buy those 14 out from under you then?

 

[RainmanTrail]

No, David gave me a head's up that someone else requested them soon after me. They're a PCFer too. Thankfully, David has my back

It was me. Sorry Rainman. I thought David had a large quantity because when I put in 200 in the quantity, it showed up available. So I tried to order 100, and it went through. David emailed me later and said someone already bought all he had. If I had known he had limited number of chips, I would not do that to you.

Again, my apologies to Rainman and the community for any perceived mistrust. I tried hard to gain trust on this forum to screw it up on a few chips.

Hahaha, no worries @thyechal. I actually tried to do the same and got excited about the quantities until I put in 10,000 chips and it still let me try to put in an order. I knew something was up at that point

In today's episode of 'eBay's programmers/developers suck', I have discovered that a search for "Pick Hobson Chip" fails to return results for chips with "Pick Hobsons Chip" in the title. Way to go guys! Keep up the great work over there! Stellar job crew!

- As a side note, I've had two bosses here in Silicon Valley that were both director level or higher in the predictive analytics space over at eBay before I worked with them. I've heard a few classic stories in addition to my own experiences on the site. I used to work across the street from eBay as well. They even tried recruiting me a few times for a data scientist position. I tried very hard not to laugh as I politely declined. There aren't many companies I despise more than eBay... They're not quite on the level of Comcast bad, but they're definitely incompetent.

Here's a fresh eBay specimen...

Thanks, I just saw this one. Unfortunately, I probably won't bid on it. It's in pretty bad shape for $8 Maybe it won't sell and I can talk the seller down off the ledge...

 

[RainmanTrail]

Bump, still looking for these chips in any quantity

Here is one:

[RainmanTrail]

Thanks, I'm on it

 

[RainmanTrail]

Wow. I bid $15.50 and lost the auction. Another one just sold for about $20 too. These are getting crazy. I've been paying about $10 each for singles. Looks like filling out my last barrel isn't going to be easy!
