Not Mine Pyramid Casino Chips (China Clays??) (1 Viewer)

[Andrew Marks]

Craigslist listing from Atlanta. I think these are labelled China clays, and I think these are still available commercially, but for $0.25/chip it seems like a reasonable deal (and maybe you could negotiate the price down).

Sprint mold china clays, I think. If you wanted a TON of them, I bet you could negotiate a volume discount. The guy has about 3000 chips.

They're a China clay. [edit: removed other bad info]

Looks still available, here:

Decent factory-labeled china clay chips on the spirit mold, produced by Eastony Industries (and nothing like NexGen chips which are 12g slugged plastic, or NexGen Pro, which are 9g lightweight plastic). Pyramids are one of the first china clay chip lines, originally imported by DaVinci and sold for between 60c-80c each by most resellers (blanks were available for 40c). No longer produced.

Not a great breakdown posted in his ad, however.... wonder what his totals are for all 3000 chips. Looks like he was running some large T5-based tournaments with this set.

Looks like he may have just split the entire set into 3 smaller sets?

Considering the weird numbers, possibly.... you think the totals are something like this?

210 x $1
900 x $5
1100 x $25
400 x $100
100 x $500
60 x $1000
20 x $5000

2790 total chips

That's a shipload of $25 chips. Dunno why you'd ever need that many.... unless you were building a bunch of T5/T25 tourney stacks and used the extra $25's to color-up the $5's. Which then makes me wonder what the $1 chips were used for....

 

[links_slayer]

Yeah, that's kinda what the breakdown looks like in the CList pic - or pretty close to it at least.

Maybe he played a cash game with the $25 and a tournament with it at T25... not a great idea, but it fits the breakdown better.
