Nice pickup! I had a big set of these and they were very nice except for some wonky inlays. Great price for those! A little oil works wonders for the colors on those chips.

Damn nice grab! Those deals don't come around often...if at all. Congrats on the score.

Just a thought. Seeing as this seller obviously isn't familiar with the real value of these chips, you may want to reach out to them and give them some packaging/shipping advice. Otherwise, you may really only get $200 worth out of that set...after you cull all the broken chips if not packaged right.

That's good advice. I'll do that! Thanks!

Great pickup man!

 

[navels]

Nice!

How do you people find these deals?!

Nice pick up!

I've just had a "Casino De Isthmus" alert setup on eBay for a year or so. Just been waiting and hoping.

 

[Mac128k]

Wow what a deal! Odd they knew enough to call them BCC and there is another set on there for sale over 1k and they still blew them out. Hope they show up to your house

Me too. I messaged seller about packing them carefully and they replied almost immediately. I'm confident at this point that they should arrive safely.

Total steal... nice score!!!

If they’re shipped in the case, I bet they’ll be fine.
But this one is scarily close to “too good to be true.” Fortunately eBay will take care of you, as a buyer, if you get screwed.

That's what I thought, too. Fingers crossed.

Three way split anyone?

 

[tallsbutler]

Three way split anyone?

Yes. I would be down for the 3 way split. @MD Mike if you're serious, lets talk about it.

I want a rack each of the .50, $1 and $5

 

[echoseven]

Wow, nice pickup!

 

[allforcharity]

Wow!

 

[Wils]

That price, and it was up for no less than six days? Only one bidder?

Was everyone else napping, or is it too soon after Christmas?

I honestly wondered the same thing. I ordered them so quickly after seeing them because I was sure I only had seconds to spare before one of you swooped in and grabbed them

 

[surferb]

I’m guessing a “not paulson” in the auction and it would have gone nuts.

 

[ovo]

holy cow, what a deal, was it buy it now ??

 

[tallsbutler]

It was an auction with a buy it now option.

 

[ovo]

that was a serious score

 

[tallsbutler]

CHIPS ARRIVED TODAY! They were delivered a day early, and not only was every chip accounted for... but there were actually 50 more chips than were quoted in the listing. 700 total.

Breakdown:

125 x $1
125 x $5
100 x $25
150 x $100
100 x $500
100 x $1000

And, these are absolutely the mintiest chips I've ever touched. Feels like I'm the first soul to ever touch them.

I'm pumped! This was one of the sets I wanted as a 16 year old poker/chip enthusiast but figured I would never be able to have. Couldn't be happier. Thanks for following along and thanks for all the nice comments on this thread!

 

[allforcharity]

As a James Bond fan I must get myself a small set of these one of these days, even if it's just a barrel of each denom just to display.

 

[Lars]

Nice score!
