Is there an amount of chips and a price per chip to get them to sell us Paulson chips?

Between the venders on this site and us common folk, I know we can quite easily get 1mil in chip orders. Put me down for about $2k worth blind so $998,000 to go. If all it took was money, we would be swimming in new THC paulson customs for sure.
 
The door to the candy store is still open. You just have to find the path to it. And the paths do still exist. You can't share the candy with anyone until you have it. Too much candy may cause cavities so keep that in mind.
 
Guaranteed this forum and its vendors can come up with a 1,000,000 chip order of even just one spotted inlaid THC set with cash and tourney denoms. You could even copy and reuse old color/spot patterns identically for chips that are already out there in big quantities (think Vineyard $1, or Crystal Park $5, or Grand Casino Biloxi $1, or PCA $500) and still get to that number. Easy.

I've no interest in getting involved with this, I will say however that the people who have attempted orders from the GPI either directly or through a "facility name" and failed are the reason why they keep tabs on the forum. The failures brought their wandering lawyers here for a look see, and the failures struck their attention enough that they have changed their regulations on requirements for ordering now. They don't sell to the home market anymore, and that is that. To them we are peasants.
The folks that have been successful, were done a few years ago or prior to that, the folks that were really successful didn't sell their chips publicly, if at all.
There's things you don't know yet, about how this doesn't work. The more you try and fail the more they laugh

Is there concrete reasons as to why this is the way things are? It seems like the consensus is simply that we aren't worth their time which is probably true but if that's the case why not just make a stock design and do a million chip run when it's convenient for them and sell the off to a distributor. Seems like easy profit to me but I'm also ignorant

Ok. Challenge accepted. You get me the 1 million chip order and the cash required to place it and I will make it happen. Not 999,999. One million.

The bet, 10% of the value of the order.

As long as we are talking about GPI pricing I’m in for 3000 chips blind. I can’t imagine it would be hard to get a commitment for 1,000,000 from this group.

See the “Elite” and “Monaco” lines of chips

GPI has no interest in selling to non-casino customers, regardless of order size. They've dabbled in the home market (via large resellers and through their Gemaco division) in the past, but have since emphatically shut down all sales of everything that is not casino-related.

I have no evidence and nothing to firmly back this up, but it seems there may be a good chance there's some sort of formal business agreement or maybe even an unwritten arrangement between GPI and the casino industry? I wonder if casinos have security concerns with the home market being offered similar chips that are used at casinos and perhaps they have some arrangement where GPI agrees to steer clear of the home market and in turn, the casinos continue to place massive orders on a continual basis.

Sort of makes sense. Don't piss off the organizations that make up a huge majority of your entire revenue, particularly not just because you want to try and go after a handful of millions of dollars made of smaller (and probably more cumbersome) orders.

I wonder what I've missed. I did disappear for a year.
Are you saying that GPI changed its regulations after the boat chips, the circus chips and the beach chips?
 
Jackypoo said:
Yes but they don't make those anymore right?

I think they made a million chip run and sent them to distributors. Then they all sold.

Even the crappiest Paulsons they could produce have a place in people’s collections.
 
Pshhhh, Paulson is so 2017. Matsui is the rage for 2021. TEAM MATSUI!

Getting together $1 million here for a Paulson THC buy would take around...33 minutes...seriously.

@RivieraDanny there is a lot here you may not yet know, and a lot of very knowledgeable members. I’m not knocking your knowledge, just don’t discredit people so quickly.

I'm in for 3000 chips of one design, if we get a cash and tournament set together I am in for 5000.

Lol. You get the GPI order in place (never gonna happen) -- or even just started -- and I'll easily come up with the $1M cash. Minus your 100k gambling loss, of course.

I'll even consult -- for free -- on who to contact (unless you feel using your connections are a better choice), specifically what to order, and the appropriate quantities involved. It all starts with a phone call and/or email. Action's on you.

You are simply unaware of how any of this works, and the long and storied history of why it is this way. But if you're convinced it's all really that simple and that it's only about the $$ with GPI, then please give it your best shot. Well worth a $100k finders fee to me.

*****Edited, Obviously Mr. Know has me ignored, which is fine by me.
