SOLD Indiana Grand Sale Thread (7 Viewers)

He’s made labels for me that say casino

I think it depends on the casino.

I've had labels made for my Roadhouse set that say "Tunica Roadhouse Casino Resort" or something along those lines, whatever the Roadhouse logo says. But it's defunct now and there will almost certainly never be a Roadhouse again.

Whereas for something like the Jack casinos I know @Gear is vary disciplined in refusing to make labels that exactly resemble the Jack inlays for Detroit or Cincinnati or any city that had or has a Jack casino in it. He has a thread somewhere where he explains this and some of the reasoning behind it like how he doesn't want chips relabeled with his labels to get confused by non-pcfers as legit chips. But I suspect it also has something to do with the fact that Jack as a corporation continues to exist and presumably has lawyers on staff to come after him for trademark infringement or forging casino chips or who knows what.

 

[Gear]

Gear won’t make labels that say “casino”

That statement is simply incorrect.

It's substantially more complex than that. For instance, neither Horseshoe Cleveland nor Horseshoe Cincinnati chips (the original chips) say Casino at all to begin with, so whether or not I'll make a label that says Casino on it is irrelevant with respect to whether they'd be seen as counterfeit vs replica.

We've had a pretty good run on some denominations with the golden tickets. While I won't give exact numbers, here are the denominations that are under 1000 chips. Please plan accordingly

Secondary
$2.50
$1000
$5000
$25,000

Primary
$25,000

Hopefully, PayPal won't screw up the inventory this time! Good luck everyone.

Clifs for the upcoming sale

Week before the sale starts

Back off family...sold grail chips...this is Indiana Grand funds...need to spend

Start refreshing 15 min before the sale

Sale is live....2 min in

'The Indiana Grand secondary $5 are sold out, please adjust your cart'....

Wearing my thinking cap now...calculations, spread sheet & pivot table madness

4 minutes in...'All Indiana Grand chips are sold out'

F*ck this shit...

 

[AlbinoDragon]

Meanwhile, for those of us who only need to spectate the carnage about to happen...

Mostly joking. Seriously, good luck to those who are braving the feeding frenzy that is a TCR sale. May you get what you want, pivot to get what you can, and enjoy what you are able to.

Wow, how many golden tickets were there? I recall two or three that were offered, but not much more.

I recall there a number of golden tickets given out during the Jack Cincinnati Sales, had some PayPal inventory issue and over-sales for certain denomiations for a number of people

I think it's closer to 10-15 then 2 or 3

 

[Tonysquander]

54 hours to go! See you guys on Monday at 2 EDT.

I did not receive a golden ticket for being one of those paypal inventory people. I don’t think they are from that.

Don't be an ass.

Sales starts Monday at noon EDT.

From when? Link to thread?

 

[WedgeRock]

I recall one was a giveaway. And there were a couple that were offered as trades.

Hey it’s already Sunday here
What’s happening

 

[bszczyt]

To more experienced members - how likely am I to buy 600 pcs set i want? Probably will be there from the start. Is it doable or like close to impossible/I have to get lucky?

Doable? Probably, but it really depends on the breakdown you want.

If you stick with $1, 5, 25, 100 it's extremely likely. Any other denoms, you best be quick

And that doesn’t mean the first few minutes.
It means a few seconds, especially when the clock hits the second hour and minimums are lifted. Stuff goes very quickly.

But don’t be too discouraged if you don’t get EVERYTHING you were looking for. After the sale, the classifieds are full of trades and sales, usually with a markup…but sometimes some great deals can still be found.

 

[TheChipRoom]

@TheChipRoom do the 2.5 barrels of table chips that will be sold later include a mix of all primary chips, or just certain denoms?

Thanks!

Mix of all denominations, except $25k

 

[TheOffalo]

Not gonna try to hold you to anything, so hopefully you’ll answer, but understand if you’d hold that info close to the vest… Do you think you’ll potentially price the chips from the mixed barrels cheaper when do do post them later, or will they likely be priced similarly to this sale?

In the past, used chips were always cheaper...

Yes..but with the PP screw-up during the Jack Cincy sales, members that got the short side of the stick (approved order mint chips but no more stock) were compensated by Jim with GT's. I asmume that was more then a few members.

They were not from that sale (I was one of them).

 

[SixSpeedFury]

I see no links so I'm assuming they're all gone

 

[WedgeRock]

Yep. All gone. Better luck next sale.

 

[TheDuke]

Yes. All gone unfortunately.

Best to unplug from electronics for the rest of the weekend. And avoid PCF for at least a few days.

These look great in barrels.

Even with samples in hand I thought the colors were too dull.

But they look great from this view.
