Wanted 40x Wynn Charity Event 5000 chip (1 Viewer)

[liftapint]

Wanted: up to 40 T5000 Wynn chips, of recent hype.

The set I bought is far too light on T5000, and these chips have changed hands so many times since first coming into our community, that I'm hoping that someone has a barrel or two saved back that they'd be willing to part with.

You know what they look like by now. Do I need to add a photo? I'd have to "borrow" one, since I don't have any of these chips yet. Please help fill out my potentially epic, but currently a little less than, set.

Edited to change thead title, although I have my doubts whether there was any question about the chips I seek

Wynn chips? Never heard of them

I'm surprised there aren't Wynn plaques in the works yet...

I have 10, priced at $2000 each in accordance with the tool and current market conditions.. How many ya want?

@liftapint, you better jump on this before I do

I should have 10 next week....when I win the raffle of course.

Title suggestion... These should probably be called "Wynn Charity Event Chips" as we now know they are NOT "tourney" chips.

I could let go of 10, but it would require me to take back 10 of the 1k chips as part of the deal

Correct. It appears they were used for table games and pretty unlikely that any were used as tournament chips, unless the charity event included a black jack, roulette, or craps tournament.

That's a pretty sweet offer, sir. Kudos.

And I will take it!! Thank you!

30 more...

 

[RainmanTrail]

Well... I did say "as part of" the deal

I figured. But I am hopefully that they'll be cheaper than BGs!

Or maybe Wynn High Roller Cash chips .... somehow it wouldn't surprise me if they used those chips like cash

"I'll split my blackjack aces with the $10k max bet... thank you!" (y) :thumbsup:

Yeah, I'd be real interested in what the donation buy-in was, and how many chips you got for it. Or maybe it was just ten grand at the door, and you played for free.

That's illegal. My guess is this was probably similar to most corporate "casino nights" where your ticket/donation/whatever gets you a buyin stack, and then prizes are awarded at the end of the evening for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. in total chip counts.

Where is this backstory?

Found it...wow

Can't have been that much -- with all those big names and society figures there, they only raised $400K.
