OK......iam sorry for irratic behavior,
iam sure there are a few people ready to ring my neck by now..... 
but I have decided to have Debs handle all my dealings.....
regarding pricing , condition and availability of parts please contact DEBS.
..please bare in mind that the chips I offered will be in the hands of DEBS in week or so..........the chips will be shipped on Tuesday Feb 14th.
so figure the time of delivery before she has them in hand.
with the exception of the 1302s til I have them all accounted for 31 pieces total.
If you have any questions regarding the chips I have shown or offered in the past week.......PLEASE BOMBARD DEBS with your emails 
as she will be the person in charge of all my goodies.
I may keep a chip or 2 here and there and even throw a few free surprises at you collectors once in awhile....... just to show my gratitude towards you collectors that iam not money hungry.....(A COLELCTOR OF MONEY)......lol.......but then again who isnt when the bills ned to be paid........lol...j/k 
catch you all later
GH. |

If anyone knows of the cheapest way for shipping bulk chips from the US to the UK, please let me know. I'm looking into it but it might be easier from the US end to find some info...
Once I receive a shipment, I'll spend a couple of days organising the chips before posting, so I can be sure everyone gets the best chance possible of any particular chip that there are multiples of, plus it may take me a little time to find reference prices for chips I don't know.
Please either PM or email me with copies of any chip requests you already sent GH. For those who were offered free chips, please let me know which you wanted so that GH can be supplied with a final list as soon as possible, and he can get onto the business of shipping out some goodies and get on with the rest of his life

OK,
Debs, no offence... but what the hell is going on? You have been on the forum for all of 2 weeks. GH has just appeared with a million chips that everyone wants. And now you are potentially sat on a trade that is the biggest anyone has seen.
There are a few questions people will be asking themselves as to regards what is going on here.
1) WHY would someone like GH want to ship a quantity of Chips to the UK, when Chipcollecting is abundant in the US and has far more collectors
2) WHY is he choosing a newbie (to the forums at least) to do the job and not an experienced collector with a good long ruinning trading history.
3) Why can he not do this himself? He runs his own business etc
4) Why has he only replied with any type of adequate answer to Debs's questions.
Something or sure is not right here Debs... PLEASE do not take offence (either GH or DEBS) and explain what the hell is going on.

On top of all this - You have no experience in international shipping, and you have stated many times that your cash flow is continuosly having problems - I'll be the first to admit that I have completed a trade with you finally, but still...

GH, I think your a great person giving out free chips and helping other collectors out
But , unfortunately, I lack to see why handling each individuals(11) shipping is such a problem? I'm sure everyone in here is more then willing to wait as long as it would take for anything that is free
Just my opinion...
But I really am not going to want to participate in this "back-and-forth" of shipping items...It really would'nt be worth the cost and point for me
Sorry,

I have no idea what caused that outborst! I contacted GH by email when he first asked people to. Yes, I'm new to the forum. That doesn't mean I don't know anything or that I am not in a position to put time and effort into this.
GH offered to ship chips to me after he had commented that it was becoming a second job and I said I'd love that as a job. Yes, I did offer to help if he needed it, and he took me up on it. Is that wrong?
Does being new to the forum mean I ahve less right than anyone else to do business with someone who needs help sorting it out? I don't see why it should be like that.
The rest of what I ahve to say I'll say in my response to your other (far more offensive to me) post.

You didn't answer any of the questions. See it from anyone else's point of view. And before anyone comments - I'd like t make it clear that I am not upset about this - I am really just utterly intrigued and confused at this outcome!
And I wouldn't have the nerve to ask - maybe you should have consulted everyone else first in the forum, and asked everyone elses views.
Maybe I am the only one with the balls to say anything?

A comment on the shipping from UK.
Lets wait and see what the chip price will be. If the chips are cheap, what if the chipping is a dollar or two extra.
There will be large quantities shipped. The extra cost per chip will be a minimum.
If GH is letting us in on his huge lot i think we should consider it at least, and see what it will give us as a community. (As i understand it he is GIVING chips away that some of us would have paid some serious $ for.)
Edit: It is GH:s chips, its his decision. Lets not scare him away whit all the goodies!!

With you 100%.
Debs, I know you have some restrictions (little cash, disability), it would be a lot easier and better if someone in the same country could do business with GH. Also I'd like to note time and accessibilty (Getting to the post office, and more importantly having time to do it) would be a huge factor in distributing chips in a timely fashion. I hope no offense is taken, but we're all trying to take the best possible route.

Little cash shouldn't be a restriction when it comes to trading on behalf of someone else who has placed trust in me. Getting a job when I am virtually housebound is something I consider an honour, and I am extremely grateful that GH has asked me to handle this. Getting to the post office isn't a restriction, as I can do my shipping directly with the mail man in the mornings. All I ahve to do is package goods and put stamps on the package, then i can hand directly to the mailman.
I'm not sure why my last response to sammy didn't show up. I'm offended by what he said. It's not my fault I ahve some of the problems I have, and if the only solution to this is to just put things on eBay instead of here in order to not upset anyone then that's what will happen. If I am not shown some level of trust and allowed to negotiate business with someone who is making it possible for me to earn an income without having to ive off the governemnt, then I am proud to have been able to communicate with GH and oprganise things. OK, shipping to the US might take a day or 2 more than shipping to the UK, but the same applies in the other direction. I don't complain when I wait a week or more for chips in the post, why should the same respect and understanding not apply both ways?
Having time to prepare and distribute packages is certainly not a problem - it's not like I ahve anything else to do with my time.

ya need to get yourself a set of good scales, some customs forms, and some airmail stickers.
Remember to mark custom forms as 'gift' with a low value. so people dont have to pay VAT

I have good scales already, so that's not a problem. Customs forms I'll pick up before the shipment arrives here, so I'll be prepared with that. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
