Thanks, that was my final bid

 

[Daniel Albarran]

That's it right? Great score @Gorbash !

 

[Daniel Albarran]

Alamedas next month including a rack of the colon orange 1ks and a rack of the lovely bubblegums! Figuring out what else to add.

Let's go international today. Ecuador forced all casinos to close in 2012 I believe. Prior to 2000, their currency was the "sucre". Interestingly, they have now adopted the US$ as their national currency (with a ton of economic benefits). Clearly, these chips were made when the sucre was the currency. In the 70s-80s, there were about 30-40 sucre per US$. Thanks to what I'm sure was wonderful government management, there were 800 sucre per US$ in 1990 and 25000 sucre per US$ in 2000. I'm not sure when the 100k chip below was made, but its casino value in US$ could have been as high as $1000 and as low as $4. Whee!!!!

These are all lead baby, with textured inlays, Top Hat & Cane Paulson beauties. They probably made so many 5k chips because they maybe changed them out as the currency devalued? I could see a nice tourney set being made out of these...

I remember when I first noticed these chips in chipguide about five years ago. Just friggen beautiful.

That’s a lot of *sweet* looking chips. My favorite is the $5k in Paulson Grey with… is it Lime Green and Lavender spots?

Looks like @CDC may have won this

Looks like @Gorbash bid of $1,369 may have came in 6mins after the $1,350 bid of CDCs and doesnt it only extend for 5mins ?

Or am I seeing it wrong ?

Looks like $1,350 came in at 11:35 and $1,369 came in at 11:41 which would be 1min late

So looks like $1,350 should have been the final bid

Or am I wrong here ?

It does seem like you’re right looking at the time stamps, in real time I don’t remember my bids ever being close to late so I’m not sure how that happened, but that's what the time stamps say.

@CDC @Daniel Albarran

Probably should add @Tommy to verify that I was a minute late like the time stamp says I was.

 

[CDC]

Nice surprise, I did time it a bit, while doing other stuff, thought it was borderline..

Speaking as a neutral 3rd party, I would agree with that statement.

@Gorbash and @CDC, to help you understand what you were seeing as it was happening last night (and why Gorbash may have been fooled by the “nn minutes ago” numbers at the time), take a look at this auction:

https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...ed-leaded-paulson-black-scv-20s-1-rack.80789/

Specifically, scroll down and read my Oct 16, 2021 post that starts with the text, “OK folks… I have sat and STARED at the @Mongoose $260 bid followed by the @OfficerLovejoy $265 bid. Here’s what I discovered:”

Also read the post immediately following that one.

Hope that helps!

(1) My head hurts after reading that thread because I’m not so good at reading/reading comprehension.
(2) Dibs
(3) @Josh Kifer is going to be simultaneously sad and angry because the chocolates were going to be his birthday gift. The only thing worse than hurting the kids is hurting Josh. Hope you people can still sleep at night.
(4) I wish I was bidding against @Jacks instead of CDC so that I could buy these chips in 2-3 month for 20% less than the ending auction price .
(5) @Daniel Albarran when is the bubble gum 5K auction, I gots me some extra chipping funds to blow bubble with now.

In all seriousness, I think the moral of the story is this:

Treat the 5 minute rule like it's a 4 minute rule, and you should be fine.

(3) @Josh Kifer is going to be simultaneously sad and angry because the chocolates were going to be his birthday gift.

Oh wow... milled and silver foil hot stamped with "HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE 25¢"?!! I'll have to see if I have some spare Paulson Chocolate chips around here...

I generally treat it like a 1-minute rule and just place my next bid when I see I’m outbid, I’m not trying to drag out the process, but sometimes you have to step away from the auction and you’re away for longer than you realize/thought you’d be away and you just bid as soon as you get back. It happens. GG CDC.

[Daniel Albarran]

Thankfully it didn't get out of hand with a crazy 500 raise or something.

 

[Daniel Albarran]

@Josh Kifer I have a relabelled rack if you're interested.

 

[CDC]

Thanks all, everything has been settled!
