My friend has Chipco trays he would like to sell. I just emailed him asking how many he had to unload and what condition are they in. Assuming they are in good condition, what could he expect to get for they?

Thanks in advance,
Stonker

FYI these are different trays. I forget the exact measurements, but chipco trays are designed for thinner chips (ie chipco and maybe Paulson). The asm racks are maybe 1mm wider and will fit ASM chips nicely, but be a tad loose on the others. Worn chipcos fit 21 to a row in the racks sold by ASM.

I personally prefer the chipco racks. They're less brittle and made of a higher quality material, but if your chips don't fit, what good is that?

99% has Chipco racks. He either mis-posted or assumed I got them for him from ASM and not Chipco.

I have my ASMs, Paulsons and Chipcos in Chipco racks and my Nevada Jacks and Nexgens in no-name Chinese racks.

In the Chipoco racks ASM are snug but fit, Paulsons are half a mm loose and the Chipcos just right.

Chipco racks say "chipco" on the molding. The racks from ASM are "Kardwell", I believe. Some of my ASM chips fit tight in a chipco rack, some colors do not fit no matter how hard you try . This is frustrating because I like the chipco racks and have about 30 of them.

I was wrong, thought Matt got them at ASM, didn't realize he got them from Chipco...they are chipco racks they say Chipco International on the bottom.
