I've got almost 100 of your .50's and all of your 1's. I also cleaned them all for you
. Only a little more then 100 .50's left for me to harvest and the two barrels of 5's.

That's great man! With any luck, you'll have it all by summer. I really appreciate it. You should probably send me your complete Terrible's wish list in another PM. I have some new arrivals.

You're missing at least two zero's. Maybe consider it then but still doubtful.
Pai Gow Poker is a great game for socializing (i.e., drinking) because most of the time you're not doing much, and a large percentage of your hands will push with the dealer. If you're not sure how to set your hand, the dealer is allowed to tell you how the house would be required to set it.
Did some harvesting for a few folks and after a tip that Parx was getting some minty chips delivered I held out to see if they were getting any $1s for a member who wanted those. Unfortunately, they weren't $1s. However, if anyone wants mint $2s, Parx has released a bunch into the wild.
They're the blues seen here:

Okay, not chipes, but is anyone in need of Bud Jones oversized chip racks? I can grab either of the two types pictured below: all caps logo or script logo. They appear to be identical to me. Lightly casino used - no breaks/cracks, but obviously scuffed, etc.
Yeah, they have GameOn oversized racks as well, but if you're looking for those, just buy from GameOne since they're a sponsor to the forum.

43mm? I could use 1 or 2....

I would take 8-10 of them if they are for 39mm.....don't care which style. lemme know what I owe ya
Thanks
PM coming.
They're pretty much all GameOn for the 39mm nowadays. Wouldn't mind getting them for you except I wouldn't want to undercut a sponsor of the forum as mentioned above.

No problem, Dave. I have one of each on hand, so I'll pack them up with the shipment I already have going down to you.
If you don't have extras racks after you send to BG, that's no problem. My friend has an extra, but I'll take two if you still have them.
Yeah I'm sending a couple to Dave and a couple more to some other folks, but while mine is not exactly an inexhaustible supply, it's close. I'll be able to grab a couple weekend after next since I'll be at Bergman's this weekend. I'll PM you to get your address when I've got them in hand.

Excellent. Thanks!
Got the Parx sample set! Thanks @jbutler
No problem. Sorry they aren't in better shape. Unfortunately that place seems to be letting their chips go the way of the Taj. Hopefully the recent influx of $2s will be followed by the rest of the denoms, all of which could use an upgrade.
I was playing there the other night, such crappy feeling chips, was barely even sure they were paulsons, not really of fan of the "8" mold either.
Are these $1s from Jerry's still in play/harvestable? I'd be in for a rack next time somebody's in Vegas.
As Mr. Cheese and I have found, harvesting chips can get quite expensive due to table losses. Poker would be a lot easier than BJ/craps/whatever, hell even Pai Gow cost me $400 ($200 me & wife each) for harvesting a few choice $5s and $1s
If shipping time was a split pot game, I would be a lock for the nut low every hand. But I'm packaging stuff up today to be shipped tomorrow, so @Psypher1000, @BGinGA, @Toby, @Forty4, @RowdyRawhide, and @inca911, you'll be getting some tracking info this weekend.

You would think, but no. There's folks I've done business with that regularly take far longer to ship. FAR longer.
Agreed. I'm one of the worst.
I always have multiple packages pending that require mailing, and usually the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Occasionally I'll find a large block of time and box-up/ship-out five or six at once.
Very few in play, definitely not enough to harvest. They replaced the giant inlay rhc version in 2013*, and there are very few of those in play, either. The place is tiny.

Actually, IIRC there were fewer of the giant inlays. I was there in January and there were more of the standard inlays THC chips in better condition than the giant inlays. With some creativity a couple people could harvest by playing Ultimate Texas Holdem, the table game. I bought in twice for $50 each and got all $1's (it's a $2 minimum bet game). I only brought 6 of the nicer chips home but could have gotten more if I had been on a real mission to do so.
Like BG said, it's a very small casino without a poker room. Getting a rack or so is possible, but it may come at a price playing the games in the pit!
EDIT: Looked at silver-state-treasures.com site.....the standard inlay chip replaced the giant inlays in 2013.
I'm not a craps player, but getting them at that table could work too.
A couple people working together could get playable quantities. I'll post a pic of my 6 chips when I can find them.
Here's a pic. Mostly in average casino used condition, but there are some in pretty nice shape yet. The giant inlays were definitely well used.
