Not Mine Blackjack table + Chips (1 Viewer)

So this guy has a bunch of Fabulous Las Vegas chips. He was unwilling to count them for me and is unwilling to split them from the table. Having said that, you could still try going to take a look and bring some cash....could walk away with some chips. Or ya'll may need a blackjack table who knows.

He emailed me some pictures as well:

Great find. I saw them a few weeks ago, but the "cash and carry, must buy table too" concept is a pain. I encounter it quite often because the seller doesn't know how to ship and thinks PayPal is for scammers. You are on the right track in searching. Some of the best chip finds can be found with tables. If they are local, you can often get a free table because the chips alone are worth the asking price.

Awesome searching!

Yeah he responded "I don't know how I can sell the table with no chips."

This has happened a lot where the seller is unwilling to split the chips from the table...

I msg'd the seller. Thanks for the heads up. . Ad is a month old, but ya never know.

 

[Burke]

He still has it. I was emailing him today.

Look like Fabulous Las Vegas chips - like getting the table for free at that price of that's what they are. Those $1 are the EVAR!

 

[Burke]

They are FLVs. He sent me a pic of the inlays but I am just having trouble uploading it.

EDIT: OP updated with an extra pic

Just be careful. I'm not sure if it's the same seller but I was working on a deal with a guy that had the same pics listed several years ago. He got very ... i don't know what the right word is....confrontational? Agitated? Defensive? And i ultimately backed out because i didn't want to deal with that.

Offer to give him some replacement chips if he will sell you those.

 

[Burke]

As links alluded to, I don't get a very friendly vibe from him. As soon as I mention the word "shipping" I think he would freak out....

Would rather share on here and let someone close by get a chance at the deal.

I actually thought the same thing. I'll show up it's a case of official casino weight dice chips, so he has some chips to use for the sale of his table.

My guess based on his case is that he has a little over 300 chips total. Could be a good value if you can sell the blackjack table. The table looks somewhat plain and basic so I don't know how much you could sell it for.

If someone picks these up, let me know and maybe we can make a deal.

I think there are more chips. If you look at the chips in the table picture, it includes $.50 chips and a lot of $1s, the case picture shows no $.50 and few $1s, so I think there are more like 700-800 chips. Also, that table has a drop box, a mounted discard, it seems pretty nice, so if I were in the area, I would jump on that deal, assuming more than 300 chips.

 

[Kyle]

Don't know why he won't count or estimate how many chips are included.

If I lived there I would check it out and offer him 5 One Hundred Dollar Bills Counting Cars style and then go from there.

I get it. If I listed something on Craigslist, I'd expect somebody to show up at my door with cash, and be done with it.
He's getting emails from across the country from people looking for him to piece out his lot, and then he'd have to pack it up and ship it (which can seem like a big deal, if you're not used to shipping stuff) But before they do that, they want exact counts on the chips (which he doesn't find relevant because he's not a manic chipper) and then after he goes through this effort for a faceless person on the other side of the country, then they're gonna try to negotiate the price down on just the chips? Leaving him to try to sell a table with no chips?
I get it. He wants to keep it simple.

 

[Burke]

I for sure get it. On the other hand I would think to myself, "Hmm, why would this person care about the chips in particular anyway. Maybe I should do some research...." Personally, I also like to entertain all deals...you never know what someone will offer. It is very easy to say "NO."
