May I propose a fun challenge for Jim @TheChipRoom ??? A small prize to the member who guesses closest to the number of chips being held in one of these barrels?I’d like just one barrel of chips please.
Not much new just we’re going to have a bit longer to gather funds than initially expectedUgh! I figured everyone had gone quiet on this thread. Turns out I wasn't getting notifications. Argggghjjhhhh!
What do we know? I saw pictures of oil drums that I assume are filled with body parts of the people that Jim had to take down in order to acquire the chips.
Some zoomed in shots of RHC $1s...
I'm so confused!
To be surprised or not? Maybe not getting notified is a good thing? LolUgh! I figured everyone had gone quiet on this thread. Turns out I wasn't getting notifications. Argggghjjhhhh!

Thanks for the gruesome visual @BearMetal. The term "chipper" has instantly taken on a whole new meaning for me....I saw pictures of oil drums that I assume are filled with body parts of the people that Jim had to take down in order to acquire the chips.

Hmmm.... isn't Jim from Michigan, rather than North Dakota #Fargo
Frankly he could offer up some dice chips covered in used diapers and I'd be in. Just need to know ahead of time to plan my purchase. Like do I only need 1 rack of diapers?
It's like the 6 day underwear idea. 3 legs holes instead of 2. Everyday you turn the underwear a third of the way. After the 3rd day you turn them inside out and repeat. Genius.This reminded me of what I just old my wife last night. We need to figure out how to reuse our four month old diapers twice, as I need to save some money, when the godfather of chips is having a blowout sale every extra buck helps.

Anyone want to see what an open barrel of chips looks like?
Love minty looking Paulsons.
But damn. The 7/8 inlay on RHC... reminds me of the 2005 CDIs. That barren space between the mold and inlay messes with my OCD.
If any of those THC Day Blue quarters hit the auction block that will be bonkers!
I feel you in this brother! I’ve never participated in one and while I don’t “need” (do any of us lol) I sure would like to get a pieceI write what I see.
@Thisfiendis138 surprised or not, I need this sale. I've managed to miss the others ones due to my own stupidity. I feel incomplete.

Hope so...not counting on it.
And if there are some...it will be a crap shoot
I have never bought anything from one of Jims sales. How does it work?

Jim will create a sales thread that has links to PayPal marketplace where you can edit quantities and submit payment.
Order quantities are usually based on ratios of denom and total order size. I.e. $1 chips can be upto x% of overall order.
Check out his vendor forum for prior sales threads to see format.
This prevents numb skulls from placing a 1000 chip order of just $1k chips. Allows for people to make playable sets and gives Jim the ability to sell thru his inventory instead of being left with unbalanced quantities of denoms.
Hopefully they put any ceramic chips they had at the bottom of the barrels. Oh, and any BJ roulettes, they're durable!
He does lift the restrictions on percentages at some point (maybe 1 hour) after the sale begins. But by then, there are definitely some denoms out.Thanks. I was just curious how the timing aspect works. So you basically just have to jump on the sales thread the moment it is up. Gotcha.
