FREE loan of Paulson clay and Bud Jones plastic samples, especially for new chippers! See inside for rules.... (5 Viewers)

[allforcharity]

No need to add any further samples, it has already gone beyond what I envisioned in the first place.

 

[JDPoker]

Ok, let me know where to send them next (I can feel my bank account draining the longer these sit on my desk).

 

[allforcharity]

Hold onto them until there's another sign up. I'm not sure why new members aren't at least curious about samples, considering it's only the cost of shipping.

 

[drdr]

I would love to be next. But... Australia. Never been in the same room as a Paulson... cos Australia.

Maybe I need to have a midlife crisis and move to chipper paradise of northern America. Hmm, US or Canada?

 

[BlackOakRGC]

Hey! Just found this link now! Is there still a set circulating in Canada?

Unfortunately no, there is not. The last member that had the Canadian sample went incommunicado. And USPS basically destroyed the 2nd USA set. So only 1 left in the USA.

I suppose you can get the set back into Canada, but you'd have to pay for shipping to come in (minus $8), and then all the shipping going out. It would be up to you if you think it's worth it.

 

[mcfilthy]

I'd be down

 

[allforcharity]

@JDPoker please contact @mcfilthy for address details.

Others feel free to sign up. Best to look at some free samples before you spend an inappropriate amount of money (whether small or large).

 

[JDPoker]

I sent @mcfilthy a PM on Monday, but still haven't heard back from him.

Then hold on to them for a moment. If someone else signs up before he replies, then let's keep it moving.

@JDPoker you guys can skip me. I retract my sign up for now.

I would be very interested in being next in line if possible! LMK what I need to do.

Get a few more posts under your belt so you can receive PMs. @JDPoker , contact @2dollarbill when you can.

 

[JDPoker]

@2dollarbill asked to hold off for a while, so chips are still available.

Hi all! I’d love to get my hands on a set. I live in the Netherlands, is that possible? Thanks

Unfortunately, no. Perhaps there are members local to you that mY be of help.

Understandable! I’ll try to get some around here. One sample set I found online on a German site was 200.- so I figured I’d give this a shot haha.

Hi, I would like to sign up to take a peek at these chips.

 

[allforcharity]

@JDPoker you can contact @potatolei

 

[JDPoker]

Chips are in the mail. Thanks @allforcharity, it's really great that you are doing this for us newbies.

 

[potatolei]

Thanks! I just received the chips in the mail. The chips are very impressive. Shuffling the PAN C&Js feel and sound amazing, and the Imperial Plaza Resort 43mm chips are very nice. Is there a special name for that type of ceramic? It feels smoother than the average ceramic chip.

(I thought Hat and Cane mold was exclusive to Paulsen but Cristy and Jones use them too? I think I prefer the feel and sound of C&J over Paulsens even.)

Imperial Plaza are 43mm chips from SunFly, who is a Forum Vendor. They have been used for a couple PCF group buys, search for the "Prestige" and "Imperial Plaza" info. I think the Prestige line is now a stock item.

Checked in on this thread to catch up on the success of @allforcharity 's great initiative. Damn what a disappointment. UPS incidents are one thing but stealing a sample that is meant for circulation to new members is low.

At least 1 set is still in circulation and hopefully it lasts well into the future!

 

[FnC]

Are there any sets for Canada left? I would be interested in checking them out

 

[Sparkynutz]

Too many pages to read them all but I saw a few offers to add chips and I'd like to as well but the set does look pretty big already.
Maybe split into two sets?
I'd be happy to send some.

Nothing to add for now. Not splitting.

Hi. Did you mean to sign up for sample set evaluation?

If you find a Euro based chipper who will volunteer to do this....
