Real talk are we even going to be abke
To buy a set? Ok I am 100% not interested even if it were cheap (don’t like the chips personally) BUT I’d like to mention it to some friends/family but seems far fetched a normal guy like me even gets one of these. The 124 samples sold out in 1 minute at $125 a pop. Read that again. One minute. I don’t want a sales pitch. Should I mention to say “grandpa” if you want a set I can hook you up or is this just a shit show. Sorry if that’s brash but this hit 1000 comments I’m thinking why bother trying. Keep in mind personally I’d only want a huge cash set 3000+ But If someone would want a few racks of each then what? Hate to them finish buying nickes only to learn dimes are sold out. Seriously I’m having a bad day and this whole “you can buy horses soon” seems super far fetched. What’s the inside scoop. U know the center piece of lasagna....
I'm sure there has already been lots of speculation on the thread already, but if this is run similar to JIm's last 3-4 sales, then there will be the following guidelines:
1) there will be purchasing restrictions in the first hour of the sale
2) the purchasing restrictions on a build-your-own set will probably consist of a) a maximum number of chips (e.g. 2000 assorted) to 1 address, b) a maximum % for each denomination that can be purchased as part of a single order
3) there may be some pre-packaged sets, with a maximum number of sets (e.g. 1, maybe 2) to 1 address
After the 1st hour, all the restrictions disappear, and you can buy whatever you can load into your cart.
We can further speculate on what chips will be snapped up the fastest, depending on guestimates of quantity and popularity:
1) Fracs, $1000, $5000, and $25000 of both primary and secondary will be snapped up first.
2) $500s may soon follow after that.
3) The $1s, $5s, and $25s and $100s will last beyond the first hour.
4) Of the remainder, $5s and $100s will probably be most popular. $1s may last for days. $25s, ever the red-headed stepchild of these sales, may last weeks.
5) 25-50% of buyers in the first 10 minutes will probably get what they want. For the rest, it may be considered a shit show.
Horse trading will go on for quite some time after the sale ends. The Classifieds will go at least 60% Wanted HSIN for 48 hours.
