List of Legit Vendors? (1 Viewer)

[n0x1ous]

Hi everyone, I'm new to PCF. I was into poker and chips in the early 2000s like everyone else and had a set of 500 Paulson classics new from Apache. I eventually sold them back to Apache about 10 years ago (which I now regret). I am looking to get back into things and its hard to know who are legit sellers. Im mostly interested in NO LEAD Paulsons. Outside of Apache, do we have a list of legit vendors?

For example, I was looking at chipsdealer on eBay. Is this guy legit?

How about these?

thanks in advance.

The chiproom is legit. You can contact Jim directly on PCF @TheChipRoom

Not sure on the other listings.

Also if you click the Poker Chip Forum icon at the top of your page and scroll down to Marketplace Vendors you can see who is on PCF

Eff this guy. He’s reselling a rack for $325 that you can buy right here right now for $199. https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/diamond-jacks-secondary-and-roulette-chip-sale.103419/

The arbitrage is real

 

[improviseallday]

Almost everything I see on eBay is from reselling supply from a known vendor (or a known vendor who will give you a better price off eBay because they don't have to pay eBay fees.)

Vendors I've had success buying from:

- Apache
- BR Pro Poker https://brpropoker.com/
- Broken Arrow https://www.pokerchipforum.com/forums/broken-arrow-cardroom-supply.172/

Also check out the classifieds:

The Vendors here are legit.

Chipsdealer of eBay fame is as legit as any other eBayer, except he charges truly unreasonable prices. Right @ReallyGoodUsername ?

Depends on whether you think $10 per Paulson classic is reasonable or not (it’s not). IMO mikeauto has taken his crown though.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Very helpful. These Tiger Palace chips that were sold earlier this year......Did Paulson make one more run for the home market and that's why the prices on these were so high? The main vendor selling them here....were they all sold brand new?

GPI/Paulson no longer makes chips for the home market. These were custom chips made by GPI for a casino.

Chips were/are mint..direct from GPI factory...

And yes, I am the vendor: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/forums/tiger-palace.169/

A casino in Nepal?

They were made specifically for resale to the home market.. never intended for use in the casino.

They were made ordered specifically for resale to the home market.. never intended for use in the casino.

^ Fyp. However, they were manufactured by GPI for a casino (or so they thought).

(or so they thought).

maybe, maybe not
some "looking the other way/not caring/rule bending/etc." occurred.. unless we all believe everyone who works there is absolutely clueless.

I've bought from Apache Poker Chips and it was a great experience. Highly recommended.
