This one looks to be good, although maybe too deep.

I’ve been super busy with life, but more importantly to PCFers, have finally caught up with all shipments, follow ups, and PMs..

This is an inventory weekend and I will have some updates regarding next weekend’s rack sales by Tuesday.

I will also update on the possibility of additional cash sets that I may or may not be able to put together from existing inventory; offering Hot Stamp ‘cash’ sets; as well as a very limited number of ‘limit’ sets… finally, tinkering with the idea of a ‘cash Bear Claw’ set. :unsure:

Seemed like there was a lot of demand for primary and secondary sets. Out of curioaity did the tournament sets sell out?

Excited to get mine in play tomorrow for the first time.

But I'm guessing they're looking for potential information on racks being sold.....

Yes that's what we are looking for. No one else, just me and @liftapint, everyone else go back to work.

I have it on good authority that Lebron is setting the record on Feb 9th though? :ninja:

Hey. It’s all good. They’re his chips to sell. I don’t own any and don’t want to, so I have nothing to consider. But your #2 is bs. They were all playable sets. As for the rest some people paid $2 a chip, again, let’s be real.

Of all people, a Vendor should know better not to cr&^ in a sales thread...and there are plenty of places on PCF one can continue to show dissatisfaction with other PCFers, Vendors, chip sets, sales, or anything else.There is even a Politics section and maybe one can turn this topic into a social/political debate. But I am sorry that some people are upset about the sales methodology or chip availability... Also sorry that the order you placed for the $2/$5 Secondary Cash Set didn't get filled. Demand was very high and drawing had to take place. Unfortunately, many PCFers got shut out.

And, as a PCFer who has been around a few years, I have gotten to know a few people, traded with many, sold and bought a lot, and have built some decent relationships. Yes, my chips, and I think I have the right to do as I wish (I think)...This includes giving away some chips for free, some sample sets for free, some chips/sets at discount, some chips at discount to get some people started on their journey, and even do some trades with a few....not sure if there is any rule against any of these, but I will check the rule book next time.

Is THIS a sales thread??? Making sure. Ok I checked. It is not. I see your quote is from a different thread.

As for your apology for not filling my order, it’s all good I would have passed it on to another “fortunate” user after hearing of the QC issues and weight of the current chips coming out of GPI.
I don’t believe anything I said in any thread of yours would remotely be political so I’m not sure why you go there.

And yes. Your chips to do with as you please. I never said otherwise nor would I.

How dare I “crap” in your sales thread? Really? Of all people? Really? Ok there Ken. All I said was there was an interesting lack of transparency in your methods and question why you keep secret the number of chips being sold which clouds the true value of the chips imo.

I’ve heard there was 100,000 chips I’ve heard there was 200,000 chips I’ve even heard there was more than that. I doubt you bought 200,000 chips but more power to you if you did, I’d protect what I paid to what I was charging and hide the numbers too at your selling price.

The support in these opinions I get is quietly behind the scenes because folks here have some weird fear of being modded or suspended if they say anything, we’ll if anything I said is suspension worthy so be it, one person even asked openly for my comments to be removed which is fine by me if the violate some rule but that dude comes at me for sport.

Seriously dude if you got an order thru GPI, bravo, if you like others before you want to sell $2 chips for $12 that’s great, the American way
But let’s not pretend that we are so displeased with the flippers of these chips while your own deal is nothing but a flip and then you distort the value of these $2 chips by hiding how many have been put into the market.

I’ll say again what I’ve said in the past, it’s all good many have clamored to buy these at your prices for some chips with no historical or real casino connection, at least with real casino chips you can find how many were produced. For all I know you have a whole house full of these things but I have no idea nor do I care as I don’t own any therefor have no risk of the consequences of paying 10-12 a chip for something that later may be flooded into the market.

Sorry if my questions ruffled your feathers dude. But shit happens when secrets are kept and the reason for the secrets not answered.

Why won’t you tell buyers how many exist?

Every time I sell something considered even moderately “rare” the first thing I’m asked is “How many do you have” ? They ask this so they can put a value on it for themselves. I think it would be great if no one asked that question and just went with my personal valuation.

The difference between your stuff and the people that did it before you is the numbers are out there for their stuff and the crazy prices paid for them aren’t being paid like they were, so I guess I’m left with my answer, to protect the profit. Why not just say it.

Jim at Chiproom doesn’t release his quantities while selling. Why would Ken? I wouldn’t if I were him.

The boat NAGBs were different - those were people putting in specific orders versus Ken getting chips from GPI with an intention of bringing some to market here and keeping some.

Jim tries to keep the numbers down so he isn't "Stuck" with chips he cant sell....

And once again, the claim is that every sale of tiger chips is "Sold Out" Lottery draw for chips, well except for his friends. so why keep the numbers a secret??

Oh, because Jim does it?? his chips are also .39 cents to under $4 with the few exceptions of the high denoms which everyone knows are in very limited supply as a real casino doesnt stock those chips in high quantities.. The numbers are also public if someone wants to find them as was done in many chiproom sales causing fits by some. These are made to order. What makes something a collectors item? Knowing the supply...... Not just that the supply is limited...

I don't fault anyone from buying them for a second, if you want them go ahead but I've spoken with a lot of people that wont buy at these prices not knowing if a flood of chips is out there to be revealed later, you know, like a hoard.... What happens to the price of a chip when a "Hoard" is discovered?

I've also been explained to (whether true or not) that there is an open order with GPI and more can be produced at will if this is the case why would anyone pay 1500 a rack for $2 chips that can be made any time.....

If it's to protect the profits, just say it....

P.S. I haven't once bitched about the prices of his chips either, profit is good, but I seem to remember some bringing out the pitchforks when I ran the Lakeside Inn sale and a few others..... Making a choice to buy a rack of chips for $1500 dollars should at least come with knowing how many are out there. @Spinettis Gaming has never refused an inventory amount on chips as why would I buy not knowing if I could get something playable.

This is a flimsy argument, and that’s giving it too much credit.

Hypothetically, if I forked out several hundred thousand dollars of my own money to have chips made by GPI to be resold on this forum, there is no freaking way I would tell everyone the numbers. I am taking the risk that the chips or certain of them won’t sell out … as a seller, why would I give out that information? So that buyers can know that there are plenty of certain chips and I’m left holding a bunch of them? No way.

Nobody claimed these chips were “rare” or “collector’s items.” People can choose to buy or not without knowing the number of chips produced and hypothetically that more of them may be produced in the future.

At a 2 or 3 $ cost and the hype behind them this is the "Flimsy" argument. There's no chance or risk at this point, they're sold out already.
And everything here is a collector item are they not? And some are referred to by the creator as Unobtanium.

Yup. I think the sets were priced crazy fair at $6-7 per chip.
If people want to add on racks at donkey prices of $1k to $1500 per rack, that's
1) their business and
2) not out of line with what we've seen with recent nagb sales

This is patently false and I can completely understand why some people feel 'hurt'...especially if they are Vendors and have been in the business for a long time... this has always been part of NAGBs, especially when they are unveiled, ut starting rumors and innuendos without any proof is irresponsible and slanderous.

If you want keep spewing falsehood, go ahead..these attitudes have been around since the first NAGB...and will never go away...
