SOLD Horseshoe Secondary Tourney Set (below TCR prices) (1 Viewer)

[Trihonda]

...my eyes were bigger than my stomach! Well, not actually MY stomach, but my wife's. We have had some unexpected expenses, and I can't justify owning this nice a set right now.

Aside from my customs, this is as close my dream tourney set as I will ever see. In fact, it certainly is my dream Paulson tourney set. It checks all the boxes. MINT, High Denoms, Oversized Chips, Awesome Spots/Colors, Great Casino Brand... Oh, and MINT!

The short story, I just worked VERY hard to snag these (from both Jim and other private sellers), and now I need to sell... For my pricing, I'm going off the recent Chip Room sale (I'm priced slightly cheaper). I am doing this with a very heavy heart, but they need to go to a good home that will cherish them. To Jim and the others that helped get these into my hands, I'm very grateful for having the opportunity to own them (albeit briefly).

Here's the breakdown:

Price: Asking $2300

What you get: The above breakdown of chips, plus FREE shipping anywhere in the Con-US, and insured for the full purchase price (likely close to a $50 cost). My shipping is Bomb-Proof! Foam, bubble-wrapped, Shrink-Wrapped, etc.. You will receive a solid brick of chips that could withstand a drop from atop a 2-story roof (please don't try).

Payment: via paypal FF or you pay the fees. PM with interest. First come. At this time, I'm not interested in splitting this up. I imagine this set will increase in value, so if someone wants to buy and split, they're more than welcome to.

Here's the tourney breakdown I toiled over for days on end. Perfect 10k or 11k for 20 people. 20 x 1ks and 20 x 500's available for color ups.

Fan-f*cking-tabulos offer. I can't say it's in my price-range, but a free bump on the thread before they're snapped up.

Ha! Took you 11 minutes to talk yourself into it?

Damn sorry to hear I know how you x cited you were to get these. Did you get to even play a tournament with then yet? If not, sounds like you need to have one this weekend as a hello/farewell game.

Took me 2 minutes to know I wanted the set. 9 minutes to figure a way to break it to the wife.

But someone may have beaten me to it...

The set is spoken for, pending payment. These have not seen felt, other than for photos. I haven't had the opportunity, nor would I put them into play now that they're spoken for. They arrived to me MINT, they'll leave MINT.

...That doesn't mean I won't look at them often until they get boxed up.

I didn't post this in the OP, since I didn't want to sell these on sympathy, but I want to now explain why I had to sell them. My in-laws live 1.5+ hours away. My father-in-law has cancer (which we already knew about), and my mother-in-law was his main source of care and transport to his upcoming radiation/chemo treatments. My MIL just went into the Hospital yesterday, and was rushed into ICU this morning for serious health concerns which will affect her long term ability for self-care. This means my wife and I will be traveling, assisting with her folk's care. We're expecting some additional expenses. I don't tell this to generate sympathy, as I understand that all families deal with these issues and sudden expenses from time to time. We will be just fine. But given the situation, it's hard to justify keeping this set with the holidays (and health care issues) looming. My wife worries about money (and is understandably freaking out about her parents), and given the situation, selling the chips was the right thing to do.

The main reason for this explanation is that I feel very guilty at the level of accommodations Jim and the other private sellers made to get this set into my hands. Only to have me sell it right away.

Sorry to hear about the family, hopefully the next owner will appreciate the deal.

Dude so sorry to hear about your situation. I think everyone who helped you and this whole community definitely understands. This hobby can be an expensive one and real life has to come first. I'm sure your wife appreciates you freeing up some extra cash to use for your travels and other stuff that is going to come up. Chips come and go my friend. I'll keep you in my prayers.
