You know you are a Chip-A-Holic when... (3 Viewers)

This thread is the first time I ever heard the term "chipments" and I will use that forever now.

Apparently for reasonable size chip purchases, say hypothetically (1200) mint PCA secondaries, they'll all fit in the mailbox

Mrs. Bentax1978 neglected to tell me that one of the boxes had "a lot of rattling going on inside". Probably better she didn't mention that before I got home this evening or I would have assumed the worst. But despite being jammed in the mailbox, and several internal chip boxes opening up and spilling during the journey, everything appears to be ok.

Here are the contents of the two boxes that were "heavy as fuck" along with rest of their new family.

Where did you get all those PCA secondaries? I thought they were pretty rare now

They certainly don't come up often. I had been looking for some $100 PCA secondaries for a while. I slightly overpaid for a barrel on eBay about 3 months ago, and then bought a 500 chip PCA set just to get a second barrel after that (see a previous post in this thread). So when they popped up for sale in large quantities a couple weeks ago, I bought first and though about what to do with them later (another sign of being a chip-a-holic). Some of them will end up being relabeled in my Pier Five 818 cash set, the other will stay with the PCA cash set (and one rack has already been sent to a PCF friend who has been trying to get a rack for a while and was just behind me in line to grab them from the seller).

When

You find boxes of chips from three different closets. Chips that you didn't even remember you had.

Check

When you mentally calculate your life savings into a number of starting stacks.

Uh, huh. My life's savings are getting nervous.

When the casino scene in a movie features a hot brunette bending over the table and showing way too much cleavage, and you blurt out "Look at those spots! I'd kill to get my hands on that rack!"

And you aren't talking about the boobs.

Nope, Dave. Not that far. Unless someone's handing me Bellagio cranberries, I'll take the top rack for a night.

when

You have sets you have never even played with

We have a responsibility not to hoard. Repeat after me, "I will put into play, all of my chips."

When you have so many packages coming in that your local USPS mailman asks what kind of drugs you are dealing!

We do deal in grams.

When the fire department tells you to evacuate, and the first thing into the truck are your poker chips!View attachment 20151

Fortunately no damage to any of the houses!

Yes, sadly, our fire evacuation plan includes poker chips.

Purchase a set of 500+ chips just to get a single barrel out of the lot.

And then go sell the rest.

When you build an add-on to your home, just to make room for more cases.........................you might be a chip-o-holic

If you have more chips displayed on your wall than most people have in their cases...........................you might be a chip-o-holic

If you ask your 16 year old child when they're going to become emancipated and move out so you'll have another room to store your chips................you might be a chip-o-holic

If you sleep on the couch so your chips can use the bed...............you might be a chip-o-holic

If you cashed out your 401K because Jim at the ChipRoom announced a holiday sale.................you might be a chip-o-holic

I think someone needs to make a "Chips Onboard" sign we can put on our vehicles rear window

My chip family can kick the shit out of your chip family.

And now I need to contact J5 about some wall art....

I fall into this category.

 

[Toby]

Still, I think it's okay to have pics of others people's chips on my phone. It'd be a bit weird if I had lots of pics of your kids on my phone

Would that rack happen to already be pictured on this page?

Or did I make a mistake by not bringing some Chipcos and ASMs too? And what if a game breaks out on the bus and I left my travel set at home?

When a seller doesn't even have time to ship the chips you've bought from him before you buy more chips from him just because you never know when you might need that other rack of chips.

That secondary pca is my favorite 5 of all time...and I really really wish I believed in redistribution of chip wealth right now.

I did the same thing. Except it was five years later, not three.

I can make your struggle 0.2% easier next year if you let me take a rack of those Highway 9 $100 chips off your hands. (y) :thumbsup:
