What to do with a few thousand super diamond plastic chips? (1 Viewer)

[Saoliver]

Seriously? I thought about target practice (aim small, miss small) but the clean up would be a bitch.

Would anybody want these? Most are stamped "SPC." Some are blank. I just really need them out of my garage.

Find a local charity that does casino night and donate them.
Or organize the first one for them and then give them the equipment to continue!

What do they look like?

 

[Saoliver]

I will try to get some pictures up and get a count of each color. I will send them anywhere if someone wants to pay shipping.

Here is an example.

Understood what you were talking about

I was going to suggest target practice, but I see you already contemplated that. I have some chips that will eventually be used for target practice.

Give them away to someone. Craigslist 'free' ad.

Give them to an Old Folks Home!!

Haha, in 1995 those were the coolest chips we could find! We used those for a blackjack game we hosted every Thursday night in college and people thought those were the shit! Four of us were the house and I never had to touch my savings account the entire year.

In any event I have 600. I actually bought more of them around 2002 to make a travel poker set! Then gave half of them to friend. They are now my two boys pokers chips who are 7 and 10. The chips are their problem now!

Give them away to some youngsters just learning the game....

Target practice.

I sold 1000 of them on eBay for like $40 12 years ago. Who knows if that's still the going rate.

Not really looking to make a profit. I’d give them away to someone desperate for some chips.

I hardly think $40/1000 is a profit. But if you are looking to donate I think senior centers are a good choice as already mentioned.

That said, when I get my customs, they are going to the old folks home with me and I want to be buried with them.

I’ll get pictures up soon. Can’t even remember what colors and how many I have. Gotta unbury them in the garage.

 

[Hot Nuts]

Would this be considered flipping?

 

[bigdonkey]

I’d consider flipping...off the host who made me play with these.

More like flopping.

I use these in therapy with the kiddos. Seriously I have thousands. Old folks home/school. Great for token rewards system.

Store them in your fridge.... maybe not in the door though:

So this was my tournament set when I really knew nothing about chips, but played a ton of poker. For security purposes, I had them stamped “SPC” instead on denoms. The pink chips are blank.

800 pink
300 red
600 green
500 black
300 purple
200 yellow
100 gray

Total is 2800

You pay shipping, and they are yours. They will not be carefully packed. I will throw them in a large flat rate box, if they will all fit. If there is room in the box, I will stuff it with newspaper.

If no one wants them by Monday morning, I will donate locally.

You could do a giveaway, where first 10 who replies in gets entered into an all in hand. Winner gets it for the price of shipping.

My OCD demands to know why the yellows were not stacked under the green so all the reds could be kept together.

Fixed.

I knew someone was going to say something...I should've known it would be you, @WedgeRock . It was late, and I really did not care about presentation. They were all mixed up in a box. I thought about just taking a giant "mixed box" picture. I decided to stack them only to see if I had lost any in the last 15 years. All are present and accounted for.

I may do a give-a-way like this and pay the shipping. I imagine that it would be short handed. No way 10 people here would want these, even for free.
