Well that really took off down the stretch
Well that really took off down the stretch![]()
I’d be in for 10.
If it went for $12+ on eBay and is now going to be auctioned for more, I’m out. Cool chips though.yeah... I almost got it for under 600 but then a bidding war started.. I'm gonna make an auction thread and I'll post the link here when I'm done.
Exactly why I didnt wana bid more past 550. I knew it would be nothing but drama no matter whatIf it went for $12+ on eBay and is now going to be auctioned for more, I’m out. Cool chips though.
So you outbid me at 555, then the other guy at 880, esentially doubling the price on a split here so big round of applause.yeah... I almost got it for under 600 but then a bidding war started.. I'm gonna make an auction thread and I'll post the link here when I'm done.
Damn you Capt Obvious with your sense and orderly fashionIf only there was some fair and transparent way to tell who should get the extras... like some kind of ordered queue based on whomever voiced their interest first. If only that information was public and measurable with a timestamp. Too bad we don’t have thatguess the only alternative is to do a silent auction so the middle man who outbid other PCFers and needlessly doubled the price can get their hard earned additional profit.

Unless you planned to keep them all yourself, brafkngvo
after 550 someone else can deal with it, I dont like them much more than that to get 10 or 15
and reship.
Someone here had it for $800 at one time so we could have split it up cheaper.
Im not offended, but I made it clearly transparent of my bid here to try and keep the price down.I'm not offended that someone outbid me, it's a free country. I certainly don't expect the rest of the world to defer to a bunch of dudes on PCF posting "In for 10" or "Dibs on a barrel." Plus, I wasn't in the first handful of people to post "dibs" so the only way I was getting something that I wanted was buying them myself, so I won't vilify someone else for doing the same thing. He took the risk and has his money tied up in the chips now without any guarantees of what prices other people here would be willing to pay.
I think his auction idea wasn’t designed to get the max or rip anyone off IMO. When he was proposed with a fair and equitable way to divvy up the chips at a reasonable price that is what he is doing.Im not offended, but I made it clearly transparent of my bid here to try and keep the price down.
The fact that the first thing to happen was he tried to run an auction to get the max out of them after is pretty telling.
GL here with anything else in the future.
The fact that the first thing to happen was he tried to run an auction to find a way to give the entire community a chance to get their hands on some of them is pretty telling.
What he did above was fine going down the list Top to bottom with a price and people can pass or split or what have you.I think his auction idea wasn’t designed to get the max or rip anyone off IMO.

The previous boondoggle silent auction.... IDK how thats even a thing, was pretty much hot garbage.
I wonder if he has some more of these chips? Maybe he has a thousand of them, seems like there were a lot.On a happier topic, I think I convinced the seller to join the forum... he says he has a bunch more stuff to sell... hopefully on here to minimize the drama...
Thanks for the consideration, I'll opt out too.If anyone decides to opt out, I'll update this to the next person in line
Me too. I'll release 5 from my dibs if there are people waiting for themHappy to take less ... so more people can get them, which was the whole goal of this
I understand it's a difficult position you were in with supply < demand. There's no perfect method however I believe there's some imperfect ones.Fair point... that is the best way to do it.
$15 each is the final price

Thanks for doing this as an alternative. Nothing is going to make everyone happy but I think a transparent and objective method like this is a good start. I don't want anyone to think my statement were done to be self-serving however so I'll take my name out of the hat for these but thank you again for this offer![]()
This is also a great point...I don't understand all of the whining from those who lost. If you wanted them so bad you should have bid higher. @Av8tion won fair and square. Why the f@ck is he obligated to sell to those who just happened to see this thread and posted their 'dibs'?
If he wants to put up and auction and get market value then he's entitled to do so without being shamed by this forum. He's entitled to do whatever he pleases. Not what is deemed fair by the internet poker chip police.
A large number of people continue to rape and pillage in the classified (I.e.NAGB Paulsons) at far greater quantities and dollar amount without any criticism. @Av8tion deserves the same silence and respect.
