Nice looking stacks, moose. Are all the stamps in that kind of shape?
Just curious . . .
Also, do the local casinos use clay "Roullette" chips? If so, why not just get a bunch of them for my next set? Or, are they for table use only (ie you cannot pocket them, and leave the table)?
You got the rack of grey. They will need some light cleaning with warm, not hot, soapy water and a toothbrush. The stamps are good but spend the min. time necessary with the brush on the stamps so that you don't remove them at all. I put the chips down one at a time on a damp dish rag, which does a good job of holding them in place while you are cleaning them. Finish off with a light wipe with a magic eraser and also wipe the rolling edge too. These will be perfect quarters/dimes.
The rack was $25 + shipping but wait until everything comes for the 'one cheque solution'.

My chips are all mint.
If you take a roulette chip off the table, security will tackle you and beat you. Roulettes are the only chip in the house with a variable value. Therefore you could steal them when they are worth $1 and return them when they are worth $5 or more. The dealer puts the value in a little rack next to your colour.
Those look REALLY sharp Moose. Can't wait to see my stack when Wetts gets his delivery.
Thanks for the PCA's and also for the flag on the Aztars. I PM'd immediately when I saw your PM to me, so it should be a done deal for me on those as well.
Apparently, my first order was shipped UPS Expedite. They came by the house but didn't drop off because there was extra shipping cost involved, and Mrs. didn't know whether to pay it or not w/o talking to me.
Milo, your chips MAY be in tomorrow. May wish to talk to you about the extra shipping. Have no idea why they shipped UPS vs USPS...the added cost was abit more than I expected.
AJ, we'll work something out if you get stuck for the extra. Just found out I am spending about $500.00 for a new digital camera for the wife for Christmas, so I think I am good with the chippies, now . . .
love it when things just fall into place like this.
Let me know what's up, I am free tomorrow night.
Only thing left to decide is whether to oil my new babies or not. Mineral oil, right moose?
I've emailed Jim @ chiproom to inform him of the added costs, we'll see what he does if anything. I'll pay for it when they drop off tomorrow, and if they are indeed the box with your chips in it, I'll call you to come over.

Basically, telling you it has left or is about to leave their facility. In transit to customs. Customs can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple of weeks. Friday is not likely, best bet would be mid next week.

My order was for 250 PCA's $5, 350 PCA's $25, and 100 PCA's $100
I got 310 $5's, 437 $25's, and NO $100's AT ALL!
Milo, I think your chips are complete though, but you'll have to come and verify. I've sent Jim @ ChipRoom an email, but it'll be tomorrow before I hear I'm sure.
These things are true Primary though...positively filthy! There must be 10 years of gunk on them. Not going to bother cleaning them until I hear back from Jim though.
Lol 26 min of drooling before you noticed no hundos.
It was a horrifying experience. I was stacking the $25's, wondering where the $100's were. The envelope clearly states my quantities for both $25's and $100's but the contents were totally different.
Comments
Your piddly quantities aren't in the list.
That neither answers my question, or gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. PLEASE SAY YOU GOT THEM! PLEASE PLEASE PLLLLUUUEEEEEAAASSSSEEEEE!:-\
BTW...thanks for the hook up on the .50! But I think you got there before me.
I was just trying my best to hold those .50s for you. I told him you would pm him. Sent you his pm on CT.
Happy Black Friday to me!

Which ones are mine, and how much do I owe you?

Only thing left to decide is whether to oil my new babies or not. Mineral oil, right moose?
AJ - We cleared customs today, whatever that means.
Means TOMORROW BABY!!:D
Proud new owner of a rack of Aztar $.50 chips! Christmas is early in the White House! WOOHOO!
Thanks again Moose!

Pharaoh's I wouldn't oil. The inlay is just a sticker and you may stain it/loosen it.
oh, and just to keep the monotony going,
ARE THEY HERE YET ?!?
UPS picked an appropriate corporate colour, as their service is SHITTY . . .
