Wanted Blue Mountain Casino (1 Viewer)

[MegaTon44]

Despite being hotstamped solids (and the fact that they sat in @BiGGyT's drawer for a decade before he sold them to me), I love these little bland bastards anyway. This is my first Paulson set and it is my favorite set. Aside from one $1 chip on Amazon for about $25 shipped (and yes, I've paid $10 for one despite them being worth about $0.50 and I have 915 of them), I don't know of anyone who currently has any Blue Mountain Casino chips. Some may have been milled or relabeled over the years, others may reside in some obscure collection somewhere, but they never come up.

That's where you come in. We've had so many seasoned chippers join since I've posted an ad about these, so maybe they are buried somewhere deep in your hotstamped solids collection. If you have them, I would really like the opportunity to purchase them. This set is very sentimental to me, so I would love to reunite all of the chips

Here's a picture of the chips for your reference. I also included the backup BJ chips (I literally have one of the $1 chips and 0 of the $5 chips) as well as a shameless pr0n pic.

Thanks so much!

Dammit, I need to up my prices next time....

Thanks to everyone who continues to alert me about these chips. They are very special to me, even saw action at @Pokerdweebz and @thewhistler's Massacre in Manheim.

25 x $25 (the hardest chips to find) are currently on eBay and @Burke and @AfterTheFact shot me PMs to alert me. Thank you all!

Special thanks to @BiGGyT to sold me these as my first set and continues to tip me off. Truly appreciated Tim. These will always be my favorite set.

I have about 4,000 of those, but alas, not for sale. Might entertain a trade offer for your TRK Rounders, however.

Spoiler

Sorry, j/k - really don't have any Blue Mountains. Just checking your resolve regarding the Rounders set and testing what was ~really~ your favorite.

Haha. I'd trade the Rounders in a minute.

Rare TRK fantasy chips are great, but I like leaded casino THC chips (that are equally as rare) more.

Sorry, but I'm bidding against you on eBay.



Hahaha jk, hope you get a great deal on those. This thread is one of the reasons I love this site so much.

 

[BiGGyT]

Would be awesome to reunite the 75 with their 25 brothers. Dan, you are a motivated individual. Watching the auction, good luck.

Aside from one $1 chip on Amazon for about $25 shipped (and yes, I've paid $10 for one despite them being worth about $0.50 and I have 915 of them)

That "my casino chips" seller on Amazon is a full on rapist.
He'll only list a single chip of a kind as being in stock and with a shipping charge of $4.50. Then if you buy it, he'll relist another chip of the same kind at an increased price.
I got a gulfport single from him for $2.50. I contacted him and told him I was looking for a bunch and asked if we could work out a price for whatever he had. He said no. He then increased the price to $8, to $15, to $20 (I'm ashamed to say I got drunk and bought one from him for $20, one night, when I needed to fill out a barrel) and now to $30. I don't begrudge a guy for trying to make a profit, but with this guy, the C word comes to mind. ARE YOU READING THIS, MR MY CASINO CHIPS? C WORD!

Very interesting you say that, because this one is similar. The shipping for 25 chips is $17+. I can move past that because the bidding started at $3. I bid $25 to start and asked him if he had others and would be willing to bundle. Suddenly, my $25 was outbid, and I'm pretty certain it is a shill. These chips hold sentimental value to me, but they are hotstamped solids and very few would collect them in bulk like that. Just confused and annoyed....

 

[BiGGyT]

Yeah, sounds fishy to me. Not a big demand for casino worn hotstamp $25, especially if 25 of them. Rack maybe, even a barrel I could see as a slight premium, but 25 is just weird

I would not bid again until seconds before the end.

 

[upNdown]

Right. It will be interesting to see if, after the sale, you get a second chance offer from the seller.

 

[BiGGyT]

Tell me you got these, $2 bucks each is a ripoff imo, but if fair price think you owe me like $5k

I went to $51+$17 shipping as a failed snipe bid. Waiting for the shill to be exposed and my second chance to be offered. If not, oh well. Pretty bummed. Feel stupid I didn't go higher to fill my rack exactly.

Btw, I paid $200 for a rack of BMC $25 from a PCF member. I don't mind paying for these chips. I've spent $20 on a single $1 chip when I already had 915 of them lol.

 

[BiGGyT]

Sucker.....

 

[BiGGyT]

One day, I will come to your home game, and we will play that set, and use all the $25s

Good call on the shill. Looks like some $1s and $25s were just relisted

 

[MegaTon44]

I was able to snag nearly all of those eBay listings over the last month. My new counts are

$1 x 1100
$5 x 420
$25 x 200
$100 x 105 (Bourbon St tourney)

Would love to find some BMC $5s as I'm pretty set on the others. Outside of @Psypher1000's solids sale over 1.5 years ago, I've never seen these in bulk. Would be nice to add to my workhorse denom if anyone ever comes across some.

Thanks so much!

I like those little bland bastards!
