Still looking for some chip collectors out there!

I can easily get Seminole Hard Rock Casino chips for anyone interested in adding one to their collection - I live 10 minutes away

I'd rather keep it low denomination chips (keeps the hobby affordable on a school teacher's salary)

Cheers all,

I have a $1 chip thats from Soaring Eagle casino in Michigan that I'll trade you.

PM me if interested.

Absolutely! look at your pm Effexor.

I have a couple of chips from South African Casinos...If you interested...Maybe I can get from the other casinos around here....the minimal value though is R25 roughly estimated at $3.50...I can send them no problem as they are standing gathering dust lol

I'd do a backflip for a South African chip! Check out my pm. Hope to hear back from you!
Cheers,

Hey Slowpoke,

I hadn't heard back from you. Hope you're still interested. You have my salivating for a South African chip

Cheers,

Effexor has just mailed out his half of this thread's first chip trade. Thanks! Looking forward to recieving it in the mail. My chip to him will be on the way within the next two days (the one I had wasn't in the best shape - I'm heading to the casino tomorrow and will pick up a few more in better shape to trade). Anybody else out there interested in trading, let me (us! Other people that have posted to this thread might be interested too!) know.... It's concievable that we could develop this thread into a nice little trading circle. This is an exciting and interesting way to pick up obscure chips that you would likely never get a chance to collect! Remember, Nobody is interested in buying or selling anything - I want to keep this a safe, friendly medium for authentic chip collectors. Cardchat Rocks!


Thanks Effexor!

I have some 256k chips from Singapore and some 512k chips from Malaysia. Anybody interested?

I'm very interested... the only problem is I don't know what 'k' means - what are their approximate values in usd? I tried looking up currency conversions for Singapore and Malaysia, but neither of those countries currency is a 'k'. Let me know Pigpen!

Cheers,

Post was a joke (note smilie) for old time computer people, and those who actually had seen the chips, so I guess it was pretty obscure. Sorry. K is for kilo (1000). Those are very old computer chips from the time I used to build computers. 256k chips held 256,000 bits. Nine put together to make 256k bytes (8 bits plus a parity bit for each byte). 18 on a 512k (kilobyte) motherboard; 18 more 64k chips to make the FULL 640k RAM that was all that was addressable at 4.77 megahertz. Later motherboards could address more and used 512k and 1024k chips. The chips came from Singapore and Malaysia among others. Now, my computer has 960 MB of RAM at 2.8 gigahertz, or 2000 times as much memory (500 times as fast, too), and it is not on 72,000 little chips. Now SIMMs pack mucho memory on a little board that fits into motherboard slots. We have come a long way from 8k memory computers (DEC PDP8, e.g.) that took up a whole room.

i have 1 dollar chips form the borgata in Atlantic City

probably already got these but ....I got a $1 chip from grand casino in tunica , a $1 metal token (not technically a chip) from ballys , $1 token from sea escape , and a $5 chip from lucayan beach (Bahamas). used to have one from every place I played but all are lost now.

Ok... ya got me.

cheers,

I don't actually have a borgata chip! I drove through Atlantic city a picked up about 10 different chips... but I missed the Borgata. How long ago did you pick it up? I'd be willing to trade you a chip from Florida if you're interested. Send me a pm.

Cheers,

nope...i don't have any of those and would be happy to trade ya. I do have a few metal tokens, but I really don't collect them. Most of the ones I have were given as gifts by friends and family that considered them 'chips'. I've also found that they are more difficult and expensive to mail. If you're interested, send me a pm.

Cheers,

I'll see if I have any $1 chips from a few local casinos here (well, I live in TN and they are in Mississippi because TN has a no-casino rule thing)

That would be cool... I have $5 chips from Beau Rivage down in Biloxi and Harrah's in New Orleans...and those aren't really in your neck of the woods. I don't have anything from the central US. Let me know if you want to trade.

Cheers,
