I give the MotorCity Casino Detroit Paulsons another try, starting at USD 900.00 now.

Up for auction: a very unique set of 486 MotorCity Casino Detroit Paulson clay chips
Breakdown:
$ 0.25 202
$ 1 164
$ 5 120


The Sahara Plaques shown in the pictures are NOT part of the set I am selling.

These are LIVE CHIPS! The casino is still in operation.


The chips still are in the same condition seen in the pictures, since they have only seen the felt once afterwards. In addition to that, I always forbid my players to shuffle the chips. The pictures were taken when the chips were freshly oiled, so they have dried up a little since then.

Auction ends on Sunday, May 7th, 14.00 EST (= 11.00h PST / for Europeans: 20.00h CET)

Starting bid is USD 900.00

All bids are binding.


Shipping is extra, of course, and depends on where you live, and the service you want. I myself live in Berlin, Germany. Since the parcel will weigh more than 5 kg with adequate packaging, the prices are as follows:
- standard shipping to US, Canada and most overseas destinations: EUR 53.99
- if you want premium shipping (10-14 days, air mail guaranteed): + EUR 34.00
- if you want insurance: + EUR 28.00 for value of EUR 2,000.00 max
Shipping to EU destinations is EUR 20.99 premium shipping, insurance is extra at the same rates as above.
If you live somewhere else, please PM me for exact shipping costs.

Payment: by money transfer, or PayPal
PayPal Friends&Family comes with a fee on my end, since I live in Germany, and you probably don't. For most overseas residents, it is 2%.
If you cannot send the money in EUR, then a paypal currency conversion fee of 2.5% of the total comes on top.
These fees are on the buyer.
Money transfer is without any fees on my end, but might cost something on your end.
EU buyers: There are no payment fees! PayPal F&F is free, as well as a wire transfer.

I have a lot of experience with overseas shipping, and chip packaging. In my heydays I owned 46 different sets of poker chips, nearly all of which I bought from overseas. About 20 of them have been sold over the years, also mostly overseas. I have never lost any shipment, and I have a very good idea of what professional chip packaging looks like. I promise the chips will arrive safe and sound!

Those words are almost sacrilegious. Back to the Auction with no carping!

Replying here as to not keep carping the thread!!! @colter ripton

Yes, we as collectors buy chips, we harvest chips but we do not take chips back to the cage unless we are cashing out a win after culling through the chips to bring back the minty chips!!!

Lol I dont think it is......what im saying is if you turned in the 5s you could get a hell of a deal on those quarters and 1s......
 
I just paid $500 for 2 racks of those quarters. Buying this set and redeeming the 1s and 5s would have been a better move.
