Much like car dealers put on the back of new cars they sell.

I've got 9 chips so far. I think they're pretty cool, but I haven't seen them everywhere. Seems like they are popular in the midwest, but not down here in the Southwest. Maybe I'm just not seeing them. I usually don't ask about them, just pick one up if I see them.

We use them as a drinking game strategy! When playing spoons, the card game,we use HD poker chips instead of spoons! ITs funnier because the chips are smaller and dont make alot of noise!. if anyone has ever played spoons knows that this can be an advantage!!!
Anyone interested in trading some chips? I have some Biloxi pensacola st augustine daytona tallahassee mobile dealer chips. shoot me a pm if interested!

Nor sure if it helps, but I just got one yesterday at the Harley apparel store in tombstone, az. I had actually never seen any here in the midwest, which is why I thought it was cool and bought one.

Only thing I collect any more is miles. I do have some of the Harley chips though. When I'm on tour and stop at a shop I usually will give the girls in the Motorclothes dept a tour t shirt. Sometimes they will throw together a little bag of swag and give it to me before I walk out the door and almost always, there is a chip in it.

The chips are a good idea I Think. I the dealer I go to mostly the will cost you 2 bucks. A dollar for the chip and a dollar towards Wreathes Across America. I have been thinking about collecting them. Problem is, every time I go to a different dealer, I forget. Kinda strange too because I made one of my chips int a key ring for the bike. I must be getting old.
