"Once you play with these chips, you wouldn't want to play with any other kind."

Except ASM, CPC, BCC or Paulson. Oh and maybe China clay or ceramic. I have a set of Bud Jones and they are cool in their own way but not many people would list them as a favorite although some would.
 
I really like these chips, but my liking comes to an abrupt end at anything over $1.50 per chip. {shrug}
 
I paid $1.50/chip for a rack of BJ fracs. (For a limit set) And thought that was a little much. But you don't see fracs that often.
 
I guess my ceiling is the same as Larry's: $1.50 per. I wouldn't be ecstatic to buy at that price, but I would probably still buy. I think a more reasonable price would be $1 per or perhaps just over. Where I would price them around that number would depend on how motivated I am to sell.

The only explanation for the price in this auction is a brain aneurysm. I'm dealing with a similar seller in a real estate matter which only goes to show you that morons will be morons no matter the scale.
 
:eek: $4/chip for BJ's. Reeeeeeealy?
No, "only" $3.73... ;)

I´d feel like you, cause we are talking about "plastic chips", but for that price you can only get the $1´s, $5`s and $25´s. The hundos and $500´s went for $4-$6 (6 years ago).

Forgot to say, i love them! (y) :thumbsup::D
 
A set of S2 chips with high denominations is pretty sweet, but lol-wtf-bbq at $3.73/per and "you wouldn't want to play with any other kind."
 
Agree, don't think these will sell at that price but the 25, 100 & 500 denomination chips are some of the prettiest S2's ever. The 5's all seem to have color variance issues.

It's my auction and I don't have a brain aneurysm nor am I a moron. Asking price is probably not going to be final price unless someone really wants to pay that much for it. I would be stupid to not take it if someone is willing to for it. I have never listed this set on craigslist so you must have contacted someone else.

I'm asking $3995 or best offer. The words "best offer" mean it's a negotiation. Most of you are too hung up on the asking price.

$1.50 is perfectly reasonable price per chip, but I have to take into account where the chips are being sold. eBay takes 10%. Paypal takes another 3%. Shipping is probably around $40 w/ insurance. In the end, if I sold the chips for $1.50 each, I will net approximately $1.30. I lose about 14-15%.

I would prefer to sell the chips somewhere other than eBay, but it was a place to start to advertise where there's a much bigger audience than on this forum or another.


As for the color variance on the $5, the subdued red color is due being untouched by one's hands. The colors will normalize once you start handling the chips. You can see the matte-ish colors on the rest of the denoms.

All due respect I honestly think you should consult a neurologist. Undiagnosed aneurysms can lead to very serious issues.

Should I just give the chips away to prove I don't need to consult a neurologist? Capitalism still exists in this country unlike what you and the left want to push it towards.

I really just mean to look out for your best interest. I'm sorry if I came off as disrespectful in some way. To be completely frank it just struck me that I had to speak out.

My first wife died suddenly of a brain aneurysm and I was plagued by guilt. The neurologist said I couldn't possibly have seen it coming. But then he saw her eBay history. Dozens and dozens of items listed with prices that had no basis in reality which, it turns out, is a newly discovered symptom of small scale brain aneurysms which, if undiagnosed, can lead to severe injury or even death.

Feel free to PM me if you might be interested in a referral. I'm in the northeast but I have been active nationwide in the auction-indicated brain injury community so I have a lot of contacts. Or I could just be a sympathetic shoulder. Best wishes.

For the next 24 hours, I'm willing to sell the set of chips to anyone on the board for $1.50/chip minus shipping. For you jbutler, I'll sell the chips to you for $3.72 each in honor of your dead first wife.

I presume that you've never heard of the phrase "It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it." If it's priced too high, it'll never sell. The market dictates the price and not what you think it should be.

Really generous offer. Welcome to the board! I hope whatever you get is plenty for whatever evaluation is deemed necessary and, Allah forbid, whatever procedure is recommended.
 
I guess you haven't gotten the lobotomy that Allah asked of you. You should be so lucky in your afterlife.

Allah has blessed my family in so many countless ways. A lobotomy is an extreme medical procedure, but if it is in His plan, I trust it will be so. I hope for you that you can find peace on your path as well.
 

I just wanted to see how far he'll push it. I doubt anyone on the board would take me up on my offer for the chips. Most people on the internet is all talk. When it comes to putting up, they shut the eff up pretty quick.

On this point you're absolutely correct. People on this board talk a big game but when I comes to spending serious money on chips, it just ain't gonna happen. People here make sound financial decisions.

You really think paying money for poker chips are sound financial decisions? Paying money for poker chips is a luxury that most in the world can't afford.

You can't be serious. I would be willing to put up any amount that at least 50% of the people in the world have at minimum one set of poker chips.
 
Holy crap, Jack....lighten up already.

Welcome to the forum, oicu812. Good luck with the sale, and I hope somebody here jumps on your $1.50/chip offer for a pretty nice set. But I would differ with your opinion that high-end poker chips are a luxury and not a reasonably sound investment opportunity.

Back to your normal wacky programming.....
 
I'm extending my offer for the duration of the whole Memorial weekend until Monday, 11:59pm PST. Offer is good to anyone on PCF. $3.72/chip offer to jbutler stands. Everyone else $1.50/chip not including shipping. No payment by PP nor offers accepted on eBay.
