Only two barrels in this box today but it's all I need. Now if only @Gear would answer my emails to label that blank rack (and others)

 

[sheikh617]

Expected was for Monday. USPS decided to brighten my weekend up. Can't take proper pr0n but I will share chip photos very shortly and break out the Nikon tomorrow.

So... when’s your next game?

 

[RocAFella1]

Gotta start somewhere.

Pft no idea . I have a buddy who hosts once every couple weeks and I've been bringing the chips there, but I miss playing at my table!

Some oversized inlays go over the bottom of the hat and cane on RHC and THC, I have some when I get home I can send you pics. The oversized (giant or grand) inlays make them no good for milling OR PLAYING.

Fyp. Oversize inlays cover the surface clay, making chips slippery and hiding beautiful edge spots. Worst idea of clay chip manufacturers ever.

 

[MathijsVS]

Nope, just a low level sales rep contact. I’m gonna go the CPC way, I love their online chip designer!

So now you’re getting into customs?

I have the feeling you’re gonna be responsible for a lot more pr0n in the future

Going for a fully personalised set, tribute set or more of a card room theme for your home game?

This should give you an idea of what is possible with CPC. @Ronoh has designed my favorite custom set of them all. Check out post #14.

The start of what will likely be the most difficult part of my chipping journey, now and likely ever. Have to give it a shot though.

 

[Rieguy]

One Claim Stake $25 down, 19-79 to go! Easily my favorite $25 chip and love everything about them; the watermelon colors, inserts, and inlay. I believe it is leaded as well.

Let me know if anyone has some to sell!

Great taste in chips!

I got cash

Your whole set with them is nothing short of spectacular. I only know of you and one other that has them in any quantity. Even Spinnettis has just one.

Check with Chris at Spinettis tomorrow. The website only says they have 1, but the website inventory isn't always correct. It's worth a call over there to check.

Thank you! I had messaged him on these not too long ago, so I'll give it a bit before I pester him again. Your Stardusts from him in an old post is what made me go there first actually.

 

[DMack]

I checked just a few weeks ago, and it was the only one they had. Their prices are just getting outrageous, so I passed on the single.

Same here (just another chip). There's a limit as to what I think is acceptable.

I might be wrong, but it seems like the kind of place where haggling is allowed, especially on larger purchases.

 

[LeGold]

Nope. Well, at least in my particular case. Price firm and unrelated to the rest of the purchase.

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Got turned down for a trade offer - $450 in chips (based on their pricing) for a $115 chip. It’s hit or miss.

 

[DMack]

This. And I’ve spent my fair share of $$$ there in the past. I know I’m minnow in the ocean, but my past spendings meant nada.

It's been years since I've bought any quantity from them, but in my experience, their flexibility in pricing diminishes as their inventory of your desired chip approaches zero. Saw it firsthand with a certain Reno $5s and $25s.

Yeah I think they are more in the business of selling chips at that price point, not buying chips at that price point. #goodbusiness

Not buying, trading, and at 4 for 1 rate?

Know the chips your referring to. Crazy prices for sure.
