Paulson Chip Worth? (1 Viewer)

Hey Chippers!! Got a set here of Paulson Chips that I've used maybe once or twice. Brought these back in 03-04 & wondered if they're worth anything? Here's a pic of the chips. Any comments are appreciated!!
I have maybe 800-1000 of the $1 300-500 of the $5 300-500 of the $25 and about 300 of the $100
View attachment 31760 Ok guys. I'm ready to part with a small part of my collection. I'm gonna be selling 4 tubes (20stack) of my Paulson chips. I'm asking for a price of $400 firm.
Well, since you created this thread to ask what they are worth, I feel compelled to tell you that expecting anybody to pay $5 per chip is pretty ridiculous -- even if you were selling them as single collector chips on eBay. They just aren't worth anywhere close to that. I know, because I've been the primary purchaser of nearly all of these chips over the past several years. If anything, the recent addition of more chips to the market will likely drive prices down -- supply vs demand.

Recent prices for volume sales have been under $2/chip, often less than $1.50 per chip. In addition, it's very unlikely that anybody is going to be interested in buying 20 of each of the denominations, since there is absolutely nothing that one could do with those 80 chips (even sample sets cannot be made and subsequently sold, if purchased at that price).

If you are actually serious with your statement about selling some of these chips to fund your CPC set, I'd be willing to pay $400 for 229 of the $100 chips. It's a fair price, and you get the cash you need for your customs. Let me know if interested.

Hey @BGinGA thanks for telling me what's up with these chips. Unfortunately I won't be able to get the amount you want till July. That's the next time I'm going back to Hawaii cause that's where they're @. So if you can wait till then, then we can do some business. But if you can't wait then I'm sorry. Just cause those chips are all in Hawaii. The ones I have are here in Vegas where I live so let me know if this is ok. I also forgot to tell you BGIN that I also have $2 & $3 vineyard casino chips. I'll leave the pic so you can take a look @ it. I'm sure you know which one those are in the pic. Thank you again sir for all your advise. I'm gonna stay humble & listen to your guys advise. You guys have been such a big help. So thanks again! Also, Copag, Kem, or Bicycle Prestige!!! I'm trying to look for Bicycle Prestige Blue jumbo index. Poker width. Just emailed them so let's see what they say. Any advise, or links you can send me will be greatly appreciated. Ok, here's the pic!

Also @BGinGA i seen the sales forum got all the comments erased? Did I do something wrong, cause I don't wanna get kicked off this forum!! Let me know if I have to do something to correct any problems. Also @Tommy if I did something on that sales forum that made the comments deleted please let me know. I don't wanna break any rules that you guys might have. Thanks guys!!!
 
Oh, and @BGinGA its for a custom GOCC set. Not CPC. I've decided to go with ceramics. I know lame. Lol! But oh well. Here's my color ideas. Let me know what you think!

I can't speak for Tommy or his moderators, but I doubt that the posts on your sales thread were deleted because of anything you did. More likely some of the comments made by others were considered thread carping, and subsequently removed. Chances are you would have received a private message if your actions had been considered in violation of any posting rules.

I won't be able to get the amount you want till July. That's the next time I'm going back to Hawaii cause that's where they're @. So if you can wait till then, then we can do some business.
My offer stands, unless I find the chips I need elsewhere for an acceptable price before then (in reality, unlikely to happen before July).

I also have $2 & $3 vineyard casino chips. I'll leave the pic so you can take a look @ it. I'm sure you know which one those are in the pic.
I'm not a Vineyards collector, but there are many members here who are.

I'm trying to look for Bicycle Prestige Blue jumbo index. Poker width.
I have several spare unopened decks, in both red and blue. All of mine were purchased at Walgreens, during their BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free) sales. Send me a private message if you are interested in a few.

Yeah I'm sure that the comments were erased because the thread got off topic real fast. I don't disagree with the moderater there :)

A sale is a sale. Don't need everyone to put in their 99 cents worth of why they think it should or shouldn't be a certain price.

I'm guilty of it too ;)
 
Here's my color ideas. Let me know what you think!

I like the general layout and colors/spots. It's a little heavy on purple/lavender for my personal tastes, but I really like the $100 chip. I'd probably replace the pink spot on the $5 with something else (I'd suggest either gray, white, tiger, or retro blue). Any of those would likely balance out the set a bit. Might want to change the dayglo peach spot on either the $25 or $500 to something else, too.

Here's three of the suggestions, one spot of each:

I think I like the retro blue best (if going for a darker chip) or tiger (if seeking a brighter look).

I have at least a half-dozen decks each of red and blue in poker width. I'd have to check to see if they are standard index or jumbo index. Very nice cards (especially for the low BOGO price), but our group uses bridge size almost exclusively.

I updated my last post with a mockup.

Ok let me know if there Jumbo index. As for the chip your right, I like that dark navy blue. BEAST!!! Looks like I need to update my roster
 
Hey @BGinGA I also forgot to tell you BGIN that I also have $2 & $3 vineyard casino chips.

You may want to list these in the classifieds if you are looking to fund your customs. There are probably more Vineyard owners out there than 20th Century. I don't know what to tell you for price, but it sounds like these would be easier for you to part with, and your not breaking up a playable set.
 
I am also wondering the same thing with Paulson's. I have a large set of Casino de Isthmus James Bond Paulson Chips that are used, but are in excellent condition!! The set has a little over 1400 chips (about 2 racks of blue $1 chips, 10 racks of red $5 chips, one rack of green $25 chips, and one rack of black $100 chips). I am looking to get rid of the whole set, and was wondering what those chips would go for? I see asking prices on eBay that are between $1.50 and $2 per chip, and am not sure what to ask for those chips. Any input would be great!!
