Advice on purchasing first set.... (1 Viewer)

[DRacula]

I'm in the market for my first Paulson set

There is set of PCA (President Casino on the Admiral) primaries that are available locally for sale.

Any ball park advice for what I should offer to buy them for/ how much they are worth?

Thanks in advance for the input

It would help if you showed a picture to show how many chips are available and what denominations there are. There are a lot of people here that could give you a ball park figure with that info.

If they're the casino used, primary chips, probably less than a buck a piece. If they're the minty secondary chips, probably $3-$4 bucks apiece. Without giving away details of the local sale (because somebody WILL steal them if it's a good deal) you need to give more details.

Casino used primaries, they look like they are in 7/10 condition

Around 1000 chips, 50c, $1, $5, $25

Primaries, decent condtiion 7/10

Somebody else should chime in here, but if there are actually primary $1's, I think those are very rare and might be worth something. The 50 centers might be worth something too. The $5's and $25's are probably worth 50-75 cents apiece?

My best guess would be:

$0.50 - $95-$100/rack
$1 - $80-$90/rack
$5 $80-$85/rack
$25 - $90-$100/rack

Buying the whole set you should get a discount though.

WHAT ARE THOSE ORANGE FRACS? And are you getting those as well? They are pretty!

But the breakdown for the PCAs in that pic is not great. What stakes do you play?

I'm probably a bit high, $5-$10/rack maybe?

And here's a set that sold last Feb with a much better breakdown ( and from the pic look to be in better condition than the set you are considering) ):

Anyway - hope this helps?

I've seen this picture before. Do you know this person in real life? Have you seen the chips in person? Would be worried about it being a possible scam. If I recall there was some story about the person having the set and moving to China and not being able to take the chips through customs etc...

I did. You didn't specify you have handled samples...so I was reminding you.

My bad, yes i have played with them. I have sampled THC, Protege, Aztar, and these. Price wise I'm stuck between aztar and these
