The shrink wrap thing is so weird. Because there’s no doubt that’s a real chip.
So it’s kind of a stupid scam.

That off center inlay would tilt the hell out of me.

Dibs!

They screen captured those pics from somewhere. Didn't even bother to rename them.

Hope they didn’t lift the pictures from that other site and fail to give credit.

These seem to be getting more common? There’s no doubt that the internet sees what happening here with our chip buying and selling practices. Looks like they are starting to pay a lot more attention to us nowadays, can only expect them to get more sophisticated.
Poppin92 groomed his account for months. With this kind of money floating around it’s only a matter of time before someone else does this, if they aren’t already working on it.

Looks like mike47 is gone.

Good riddens.

Mike32>Mike47, at least in my opinion.

This is a scam advertisement. I’m leaving it up to raise awareness.

There are several red flags in their ad and replies (and what I can see behind the scenes) The scammer became a supporter using a likely stolen UK PayPal account. The transaction has been reversed and reported to PayPal.

They referenced an eBay account (which may also be compromised) to check their feedback. The eBay account is a US account with feedback only for buying.

Thanks for the warning.

 

[Tommy]

Thanks for the warning.

I received two reports about it, and the members who responded to the person questioning him deserve most of the credit. Team work.

I know it’s probably just perspective, but the chip on the end of the rolls looks larger diameter than the rolls.

Could a scammer print an edge shot of chips, wrap that around a cylinder, and then put a real chip or two on the end, shrink wrap the whole thing so it looks glossy - Then he could claim “all the chips I sold were real”.

Seems like a lot of effort when the scammer can just post pictures of real chips, take money from buyer and ship noting.

lol, it’s been my experience in life that crooks will work harder to steal money than they will to earn it.

Do you mind elaborating? I’m new and quite interested in how scammers angle here. I’ve made 2 purchases from folk that are well established but I was a little taken back by some of the larger purchases people make the first month or so, especially considering PPFF or Venmo seems the norm. Starting to normalise to it all so best be on my guard.

Thumb of rules is if the deal is too good to be real, they are unlikely to be real

I bought those exact chips on eBay a couple weeks ago from motivateddeals. (Not skybuyer) The chips were all legitimate and real.

You better send those back to Morocco Mike with the UK PayPal account, and NY zip code as his profile location.

 

[ski_ex5]

Very sincere THANKS to @Tommy and all you other guys who properly cast doubt on the authenticity of the scammer. Credit, too, to @Flopalopagus for attempting to help what *could* have been an honest newbie.


I hope no one deems this the improper place or time, but just in case any of you missed it, I have a few racks of Empress Joliet secondary hundos for sale. Totally authentic photo below:

Too soon?


Kidding aside, this is one of the very best online communities ever.

So were the genuine chips that you bought shrink wrapped?

 

[Big Money]

The chips looked lopsided as well….

Yes. They were. Those are some of the same pictures that were in the listing

The chips were in normal condition for the dunes, nothing out of line compared to the others that I already own.

 

[PlaidDragon]

I give this thread a hearty and ardent "LOL".

Are these still available? Asking for a friend

If you're only here to sell your chips that's fine, I'm not likely to buy anything from a non-member member.

Even if you're not scamming, and you're only here because you found the kitty pool and have candy that you can sell for more than you can to the Normals, I'm still not likely to buy from you.
