Official Asm Gb Trading Discussion

tastic · #1 (**permalink**) 03-21-2006, 10:12 AM

In light of the first of these GB chips showing up, and that several including myself have expressed interest in trading sample sets, perhaps this thread could serve as the trading hub.

(I was also toying with the idea of having a little contest...for example, those wanting to enter could put up a sample set and we could have the general CT public vote on their favorite, with the collection of sample sets going to the winner...)

What do you think? Lots of time to consider this as I'm sure we'll be into April and May before the last of the sets arrive...

I definitely interested in trading some chips. Mostly, I'd be interested in the 1/4" gb chips.

We should probably wait for folks to actually get there chips and post real pictures of the chips though.

Definitely..I was just putting the idea out...as I mentioned we're probably another 2 months away from the remainder of the orders to arrive (I'm on the later end myself as I ordered on the very last day (jan 31)...in retrospect I've been kicking myself for not deciding to order sooner...

ATHY?????

Funny, I mentioned this very thing in one of the group buy threads a month or so ago, suggesting that everyone order an extra 100 chips so we can have a group trade within the group buy

A separate thread that contains ONLY pictures for a contest would be a good idea so long as it contains only the pictures so we don't have to weed through tons of text messages.

Well I didn't order 100 extra but I will have 15 sample sets available for trade/contests/bounties/prizes plus whatever extras ASM decides to top my order up with...

Edit your title by adding the word "OFFICIAL".

I think everyone should just have 1 post with a picture, amount and choices available for trade. Everything else should be done by personal PM. I will post my availability once i recieved mine

I will trade some of the extras

Put me on your list for a trade...your "faux Dunes" chips from another thread are really cool. Maybe you can submit one of these golf course design inlays for the protege competition with a new casino name??

Ooooohhhhh, a chance to trade for some faux Palmas. I could see a killing being made on eBay with these babies. Just think of the tag lines: Made by ASM, acquired from a known seller of Palmas, undiscovered cache of high denom Palmas found, etc

I'm j/k of course.

BTW, we need to add an evil smiley to the list; twisted was a close a I could get.

Thanks, noel. I'll definitely trade with you. Sandy at PC.com turned my ideas into pictures, but my inlay is definitely available to use if anyone wants to.
