What you may ask is a Chuck Buck!?<\/strong>\"\"\u00a0 Did you find one of these in an auction lot?? Your a lucky bidder! \u00a0It’s a FREE DOLLAR TOKEN<\/strong> you can redeem or save up and redeem at a later date and the really lucky bidders may find a 25.00 gift card we hide once per week as well! \u00a0We are hiding 25<\/strong><\/span> one dollar wooden chuck buck tokens each auction in RANDOM LOTS and in one lot we hid a 25.00 gift card <\/span><\/strong>as well also made from wood!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why WOODEN dollar tokens and WOODEN gift certificates??
\n<\/strong>They look like the old wooden nickels you would get at coin shows? Well that is exactly what they are its our modern take on a old school give away that no one really does anymore! Since CHUCK (Our mascot here on DGD’s) is a Beaver and beavers are known for making things out of wood it was only fitting to make the tokens made out of wood… but let me tell you that was harder than one would think! \u00a0We ordered a laser engraver, built it, learned how to use it and made our own wooden tokens and stamps. \u00a0Our 25.00 gift certificates are also wood and if you are really lucky you will find one in your stuff this week! \u00a0To increase your chances just win more lots!!<\/p>\n

Since were on the subject of beavers as mascots whats the deal with Chuck the Beaver anyway?<\/strong>
\nSince our website is “DAM” GOOD DEALS (DAM as in a beavers dam not the curse word) we made our\u00a0logo “CHUCK<\/em>” the beaver and we feel that is very Canadian of us to do that!! \u00a0We did not want to use the cuss word like that other version of DAM! \u00a0My grandmother would be mad at me if I ever did that she hated that word especially if you put a three letter works starting with G and ending with D with a big hole in the middle… \u00a0 Boy she did not like that one bit… I can still taste the soap! And as for the name… Gil came up with it (Between you and me I don’t know if he realizes a woodchuck and a beaver are different animals).. Gil if you read this, Woodchuck is a what we here in Canada call a\u00a0groundhog. Now back to the chuck bucks….<\/p>\n

How to redeem your chuck bucks?<\/strong>
\nJust bring them in with you when paying for your items, they are worth a dollar each! You can use them for your auction winnings or anything from our second chance or bulk area. \u00a0Save them up and use them when your ready or use them one by one. \u00a0We just thought it would be fun and it’s something different. \u00a0We used rubber cement on the ones mounted on the cards, they should just peel off but we have not tested that theory yet. Usually when you use rubber cement the items will pull apart easily so lets hope that works out! If not with a title force it will come off the card and may take our logo behind the coin with it. \u00a0You do not need to keep the card just the wooden token<\/p>\n

How do I get more Chuck Bucks now that I am collecting them… I need more!!!<\/strong>
\nWe will RANDOMLY<\/strong> throw them in with lots when we are photographing the items for the auction so you may end up with a few or none at all…. it’s all random. \u00a0Win more lots and find more tokens! The item that sells for 1.00 may have a 25.00 gift card and the 400.00 item may not have anything at all. We do not pick and choose the lots by value or anything like that.<\/p>\n

My Chuck Bucks all look different?<\/strong>
\nWe HAND make them and experimented with some techniques! We have a few different styles. Some are made with stamps, some are laser etched some are burnt in with the laser we have tried all sorts of stuff.

No one really does stuff like this anymore and they should. \u00a0It’s fun and makes things more interesting plus we got to learn how to use a laser engraver and make cool stuff with it. \u00a0Here is one we made a using a stamp we cut out on the laser engraver. Since no two are exactly the same feel free to collect them too, maybe someday (80 years or more from now) someone will have one for sale in a local antiques shop! One can only hope!<\/p>\n

So many people are interested in how we made the tokens, we use a laser engraving machine here is a quick video showing it at work. Takes about 1 hour to make 34 coins (Double sided)<\/p>\n
