GREAT IDEA! Thx

 

[Marhault]

I will be very interested to see the percentage limits on the 25k, 5k, 1k, and the fracs considering they're likely less than 4% of the total lot COMBINED. I highly doubt the fracs will be at anywhere near the percentage of an order they were on the last couple sales. After sample sets it's an even lower percentage.

We might very well not even see the 25k, 5k and maybe even the 1k available.

All speculation of course...I love speculating.

Where's the fun in just waiting???

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

I will not be censored.

Does anyone know if there's buttons included with this sale?

I agree Jim is doing a great job. For me speculating on what we might see is part of the excitement for these sales, and could drove more interest. I'm not sure how it can do any harm?

Man we can't bitch we can't speculate! What can we do!

Just kidding man.

We all appreciate what Jim's doing, if he didn't want us to guess and speculate and hype he wouldn't have posted anything till the sale thread went up.

i just hate the notification's im getting in my email but i guess i can turn that off

In that case just wait for the sale thread to be posted. Why post pictures of barrels if you dont want people guessing what's inside!!! I think Jim knows this crowd better than anyone.

Ugh I turned the email stuff off ages ago, I just get browser notifications.

 

[Senzrock]

Who's volunteering to put together that amazing spreadsheet for chip breakdowns and %'s once Jim posts the info?

 

[Marius L]

i just hate the notification's im getting in my email but i guess i can turn that off

My email would be 99% PCF if I had email notifications on. Why keep that on if you're on here all the time anyways? The only thing I have email notifications on is new threads in Jim's vendor page. You know, just in case I'm ever taking an actual break from PCF, I still wanna know if there's a chiproom sale going down.

I'm not speaking for Jim, nor offerring advice on how he should structure his sale(s).

But I won't be surprised if it looks something like this:

• $1 -- cannot exceed 45% of total order
• $5 -- cannot exceed 25% of total order
• $25 -- cannot exceed 15% of total order
• $100 -- cannot exceed 10% of total order
• $500 -- cannot exceed 5% of total order

..... with a limit of 2,000 chips per household.

If included (and they very well may not be), I'd expect limits along these lines for the chips with more limited quantities:

• 25c -- 1% of total order
• $2.50 -- 5% of total order
• $1000 -- 1% of total order
• $5000 -- 0.5% of total order

Given the limited numbers of those denominations and $25000 chips, it's feasible that they may be sold separately; perhaps even via auction (here or elsewhere).

If he keeps the order limit to 2,000 chips, that would be ridiculous. And I think it might be ridiculous anyway. Two barrels of fracs won’t do anybody any good. I expect the frac limit to be 5% or 10% and when they’re gone, they’re gone.
Similar with the big chips - nobody’s gonna but 2,000 chips so they can get a half barrel of $5k chips. I expect those to be a 5%er, maybe with a price tag higher than we’re used to seeing, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Yeah, i have had absolutely zero bad experiences on here. Everyone has been super cool.

THIS! BIG AGREE!

I'm coming up on 4 months here. People have reached out to offer me chips that I mentioned I was interested in, and the prices have always been fair. A couple people have even just sent me stuff! Not even asking for postage! Nothing even approaching a bad experience yet, although I will say I have not yet ventured into the higher dollar realm yet. I imagine that's where any issues that might exist take place.

 

[TheDuke]

Not that I know anything but here's what I think is a logical approach.

After Jim establishes final count of his entire inventory, use established PCF advice on ideal cash set figures using $1 through $100 denoms and tourney sets using $5 through $1000 denoms.

Have a few sets options that can accommodate 100NL to 500NL and T1000 to T10000 games. Quick easy buy it now buttons for easy purchase.

Then use eBay to auction the rarer denoms like fracs, 5k, and 25k.

Easier for him and easier for the public. He then doesn't have to check orders to ensure they comply with percentage limits and consumers just click and buy.

Less stress for everyone.

But I digress, I'm just speculating here and have no idea of how these sales actually run from Jim's perspective.

Relax, just let it happen


edit: Jim's sale. Its fine how it is.

 

[Marhault]

Would be a really boring hype thread if everyone just said "thanks Jim" and that's it. We gotta have some hopes, dreams, speculation, arguing, you name it. I wouldn't be surprised if Jim actually gleans ideas from people's speculation at times. Just sit back and let everyone hash it out and cherry pick the good ideas. Depending on the tournament chips I might be sitting out anyway. This could be the only fun I could get!

Controversial opinion: screw tourneys that start with 5's. That is all.

I'm planning on building a tourney set that starts with 5s. Do you suggest I add 1s or go all the way to .25?

I've always thought screw tourneys that start with 5's. But since that's the cheapest and easiest way to build a tourney set with these cash chips, I might do just that. The action is the same, of course.
If I wanted to start with 100's (like most casinos do these days) I'd need at least $1k's and $5k's and those are hard to get, and crazy expensive. And if I wanted to start with even higher denoms so I could be a "high roller" that would just be silly.

Something that I feel needs to be said is that Jim did not order these chips in quantities to make playable sets for lots of people. The casino ordered the chips in quantities that were appropriate for a single casino.

For a casino to order the number of fracs that WE would find useful after breaking up a casino's worth of $1s, $5s, and $25s into 600-chip sets, or even 1000-chip sets, would be WAY WAY WAY too many fracs for a casino.

Facts
1. Casino fracs are rare.
2. There are not going to be as many available in this sale as some would like.
3. Items 1 and 2 are not Jim's fault.

4. @Gear can make you fracs from any chip you want, personally I think the coffee secondary $100 would make a great relabel $0.25.

I thought it could be a good $1

FYP, sir.

I think he meant "feeBay"...

 

[CraigT78]

I'm gonna buy all the $25k chips and relabel them as fracs.
