My set of 568 Aztar Striped Tourney chips is up for sale!

These are not your run of the mill standard Aztar tourneys - these are rare and especially beautiful chips, nicknamend "Aztar Striped Tourneys". Only very few sets of these are out there. Correct me if I am wrong, but probably just 5 or so.
This is probably the only chance you will ever get to own a set of Aztar tourneys, since I would assume all collectors owning one will hold fast to such a trophy set.

This set is ranked among the top sets among collectors, and certainly deserves the term of Holy Grail.

This is the breakdown:
25 160
100 162
500 125
1000 100
5000 21

The first and last of the pictures below show the set as it is now. In between, you find the pictures I took in 2009, when the set encompassed 5s as well, but had less of the higher denominations. You may know them from my weekly chip pr0n over on CT.

The price for the chips is USD 3,600

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, the prices are as follows:
- standard shipping to US, Canada and most overseas destinations (takes 3 weeks or more): EUR 53.99
- if you want premium shipping (10-14 days, air mail guaranteed): + EUR 34.00
- if you want insurance: + EUR 56.00 for value of EUR 4,000.00 max, + EUR 70.00 for value of EUR 5,000.00 max
Shipping to EU destinations is EUR 15.99 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
a) PayPal Friends&Family comes with a fee on my end, since I live in Germany, and you probably live overseas from here. For most overseas residents, it is 5%, and includes paypal's currency conversion fee.
b) Money transfer (wiring the money from your bank account to my bank account) is without any fees on my end, but will cost something on your end. From experience I can say this is in many cases cheaper than paypal!
buyers from the EU: 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 heyday 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!

I'll start it off. $36.00! <--- sarcasm. I wish. Good luck, free bump. Love. This. Set!
 
Was für ein super schönes Set!(y) :thumbsup:
Ich würde es gerne in Deutschland halten,
Aber der Preis...

What a wonderful set.:)
 
For anyone concerned about international shipping with DrJohn, I can offer my experience with him which was outstanding. He is quick to respond to PMs, packs chips carefully, follows through with tracking info and works with you to ensure the transfer goes through smoothly. One of the best!

GLWS!

Epic chips! (y) :thumbsup:
 
impressive set
like WedgeRock & Geremie said i think a lot of members woud buy raffle tickets ^^
 
I guess a 17 day auction works for the seller, but as far as spectator sports go, no bueno.

I dunno if it works for the seller or not. Certainly doesn't fuel a frenzy. Could dampen initial enthusiasm, actually. 17 days is a long time for excitement to dissipate. Just my observation.

Very rare set of chips though. Someone will be buying something very special.
 
You are right, of course, I wanted the auction to run for 10 days - I simply skipped a line in the calender by accident...

I will update the OP accordingly.

This auction now ends on Saturday, June 3rd, 14:00 PDT
 
Of all the chips that i have, nothing shuffles and handles like these beauties. GLWS
