No hypothesizing here. I’ve spoken directly to a GPI/Angel sales rep. It’s not like I’m yanking this info out of my ass. I’m putting in an order myself, come hell or high water and it won’t be for profit. Small enough to be personal yet not small enough to eliminate the chances of some very deserving people owning a piece of it. You can screenshot that and send it to wherever and whomever. It won’t change the fact that a crate will arrive at a location that belongs to me. Does it make me any more important than others on this site? Absofuckinglutely not.

Is there a way to merge Snowden and Les Grossman into a singular avatar? It would be so perfect.

(Did I just help design the future inlay?!)

The first respects the community and does so with a sense of humility. The latter thinks he just cracked vault for the Fed Reserve and is walking away with gold bars following by being knighted by the queen of England herself for doing so. Just the fact that they made their IPO buyers sign NDA’s is a joke in itself. You’re gonna sue someone for spilling the beans on a duped purchase? Talk about the epitome of stupid lol

Also one is deceitful at best and fraud at it's worst and the other is not.

Seven figures of profit would be, roughly:

10 people, each buying
5,000 chips, each paying
$20 per chip, with all of that going towards profit

Do you think the buy was as large as that?
 
Is this a pr0n thread or what? Most everyone besides @softchewy and @ImCrossland too afraid of the NDA to share some pr0n?

9 pages in, and there is a pretty pathetic amount of pr0n in this thread, for how many of these chips there are out there (how many is that, by the way...not "enough", but hopefully a lot!).

Pr0n! Showcase! Whatever you want to call it.

How about you, @RainmanTrail? You've GOT to have these. Letssee!!!

Either because getting them made for you has an element of underhandedness to it...

Or

Discontinued assets are available to everyone...

I respect you Kyle, and I have no dog in this fight (and, in fact, I'm all for more chips in the hobby), but let's not pretend that the total profit for the key participants in this buy wont hit 7 figures and that that profit wasn't a motivating factor for how the chips were acquired and distributed.

7 figures, really?

You keep talking about NDAs, I have some chips and never heard of, saw, or was asked to sign an NDA, not sure where you’re getting all your info…

I think it is fewer primary actors, buying approx 100K chips, and selling most all of those off privately to folks at nosebleed prices, yes.

We all know the insane current market prices for chips and any entity who could get an order through would have to be crazy not to make it a profitable venture. 7 figure profits assume a LOT of chips and participants/investors, given what I’ve seen I would guess this is quite a bit smaller than that, but who knows?

Do I wish as much as anybody that a 1million chip PCF GB could get done through GPI? Absolutely, unfortunately we all know that can’t happen and until it can interested resourceful parties with the right connections are going to be the only way new Paulsons keep coming into the community. As for people acquiring and selling them it always comes down to selling for maximum profit the market will bear versus a fair price to chippers not on one’s shit list I guess? Which I think is a highly individual decision and varies greatly.

Lol. Its all an illusion. We have been all convinced as such. I still find it interesting that chippers arent the ones actively pursuing opportunities to acquire discontinued casino chips. We have no idea what goes on behind the scenes to bring those bike tires to market but somehow the same person manages to keep feeding us addicts our drug. They seem to have cracked some code yet dont face the same criticism.

My guess was the NDA was some sort of "bluff" to remind people to keep to their word of keeping silent until the right time. You would be surprised how a threat of something keeps people compliant regardless of how stupid it may appear to others or not.

In an ideal world, we ALL could have ALL the chippies we want in ALL the colours and ALL the spot patterns we dream of, but alas that is not an option.

At the end of the day, I applaud anyone who can bring chips to the market through what ever means necessary. We all have a choice what we are prepared to pay to own chips, if you arent prepared to pay the price, there are always other options available.

At the end of the day,chips are just a tool to bring people together to enjoy the company of others over a game of poker whilst forming life long memories. Dont let what chips you own or dont own get in the way of that.

Last I remember, being part of a NAGB makes you no more and no less important than anybody else who wasn’t a part of it. I’m not sure what makes certain individuals speak down to others simply because of certain accomplishments. It’s like a doctor telling his patient, “wanna see my PhD on my wall?” News flash, patient doesn’t give a fuck. Just wants the right treatment.

I "assume" modestly. But I think you under-rep your knowledge, which I think is unfortunate, but perhaps understandable given the position you are in. Let's agree that there were 100K chips in this buy? Let's say the key players kept 10-15K chips for themselves and their close friends (at "reasonable" prices?), and have sold/will sell the rest off at prices ranging from $8-22+ per chip? So what is the average price...perhaps an average price of $12/chip? I think I'm actually being conservative based on what I've read on the threads thus far.

And fair disclosure: I sold chips from the boat buys, at (dramatically lower) market prices, but then again, I only ordered what I wanted for myself at the time. Profit was not the motive.

I think Kyle highly underestimates the number of people who think he’s an absolute dbag but don’t really say it to his face. All you have to do is respect others and not scrutinize people every step of the way. That alone would have made that list a smaller one.

What did I ever do to piss you off Zaki? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
