The Chip Room - Anyone know whats happened? (2 Viewers)

[Puggy]

Without Jim, it seems the door of bringing new casino chip sets to the collector market will be nearly closed. If he is no longer around, it would be devastating news to the chip enthusiast market.

Whooaaa! David! Nice to see you here . How are things?

(Apologies for threadjack)

I may be able to offer a bit of perspective on Jim's situation. I live about 5 miles from his warehouse and I visited the old one twice. It was big, with bins and giant plastic bags full of chips (Grand Victoria's at the time). Quads over at perfectmancave,com and a couple of others were with me on the first trip and he posted pics over there if you want to search. It was a big, cool place with an awesome office and I would assume high rent. Another PMC guy bought a set of CC Desert Palms that day and got a great deal. He gave me an awesome deal on double downs he had lying around on my second visit. I don't think there were too many huge casino scores after that visit, and obviously there has not been one in quite some time. It was probably very expensive to lease and heat such a big place, with hardly any inventory. I know he had a lot of CC Desert Palms and Army/Navy cheapo sets lying around too, along with bins of casino cards etc. He lived only a couple miles from the warehouse and he is also a local high school golf coach with kids around high school age. My guess is after his move to a smaller warehouse he shut down a second location all together and is just running things from his house if another big score happens to pop up. He is a super nice guy in person an gave me free reign to look around the warehouse all by myself, I was finding cool single chips lying all over the place under pallets etc. and I bought a bunch of singles while I was there as well! To wrap it up my guess is that Jim would be happy to sell us all some chips if only he can find some!

Maybe we can support him in the meantime with a Paddle Board sub-forum here....

We need to get him to cross post on PCF! I can't even get on ChipTalk. New accounts aren't getting setup, and the password link for existing accounts is broken as well. To me, CT is completely dead.

 

[David O]

@abby99 can probably get you set. Many of us lurk there.

 

[David O]

It took a long time to get set up there but ...... It led me here so all is great. As I always say, "there is a reason for everything!".

The Chip Room is still alive and kicking! Getting chip deals together has been increasing difficult lately, although we are always working on a few. Hopefully, we will have some new deals to report soon. We know we owe PCF a pre-sale...maybe the next one???

Glad to hear it is not just me. I can't register there. Somebody please ask Jim to come here instead.

Jim, post on PCF, please. We beg you. Lets call a spade, a spade. CT is officially dead. They're lucky if they get 5 posts a day. All the traffic is on PCF, join the fun.

 

[David O]

Jim it is great to see your post. We here at PCF are glad to hear you are well. We look forward to seeing you post here and I for one want to wish you a warm welcome back.

 

[Marius L]

Glad to hear from you Jim - anxiously awaiting some minty new Paulsons That way I can sell my old minty ones

 

[abby99]

The membership should be able to absorb 100K+ minty secondary Paulsons in about 5 minutes. OK, so I exaggerate -- make that 10 minutes, provided that we don't break the internet.

In for 1000. 99k left.
I've always wondered why this hasn't been attempted before? All we can do is not make the 100k requirement.

I've been thinking about the chip room a lot lately, glad this thread opened up with Jims response. There is hope yet for another PCA type of group buy!
