I've posted these on EBay already, but thought I would give forum members a crack at them as well.
First item, 300pc total of $5 Aztar Casino poker chips. These chips are PRIMARY and show some wear on them, but are are good condition. Some will stand on their edge. Price is currently $40 per 100pc, without rack, plus shipping.

Can we work out a payment and pick up option?
Just opened these babies up an hour ago. Teaser pron:
YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! Mine have NOT arrived yet!!!
Johnnie, Zoolook, if you could do PayPal, that would be appreciated, otherwise, PM me with alternatives.
I WILL be at Buzzards game this weekend, if that works.
Yes, I could stop by if I'm not working on Saturday or when I'm done, if I am.
If zoolook can't make it down, I'll pick up his chips and he can get them from in the New Hamburg and pay me back. Or Paypal you and pick up from me.
AJ, please post what your final cost was for your chipset after the sales so I can cry a little bit inside.
All right, here's a shot of a little sng set. Had to record it for posterity because I've already traded the $500s for something a little bit better...
Btw I get my chips before you because you are a nobody and I paid for Jim's daughter to go to college for a year. Wait till you see the next batch.
Something to tide you over. I hope you went with the secondaries because I'm loving how there is yellow in every chip but the $1 and the $1 and the .50 share the pink anyways. Killer set!!!!
Yep. Definitely stackalicious!
However, just to make you crazy. Imagine if you will, you had say, two racks of these instead.
That's about right. Original set was about $340 I think for 1000pc. Never going to use 600 $5 though, and you were correct in saying I would never use 100 $100 either, so figured I would get some money back on those. Total sales would be $170, so that would make the set about $170. Then I bought a rack of $1's from you for about $70 wasn't it?? And ordered a rack of 100 $.50 Presidents for another $80 or so, so add $150 or so. Basically, got a complete cash game set for about $330 to $340 ^-^ Oh, and a Dealer Button, add another few $$
Yes, secondaries. Just like the looks of them more than the primaries, but don't ask me why. Couldn't tell you, they just LOOK nicer.
Nice set Moose! Did you get everything you wanted? I think you said you didn't get everything once, but this looks complete to me.
BTW...what's your opinion on the roulettes? Considering them for a deepstack tourney set maybe.
The secondaries were $120, primaries $75. You sure on what you got? In the pic above I have the secondary in line with the rest of the Aztars, with the primary sitting slightly above.
As I said I've dealt the $500s away for something better. Almost eight racks in the above picture, you can expect that to about double in a week or so. I went a little crazy but opportunities like this to get mint chips in quantity without paying ridiculous prices is pretty rare, even though the total will be rather ridiculous, to a chipper at least, it seems reasonable.
It's a really rare opportunity because: the chips are mint, there are lots in most denominations, it's the best Paulson mold, (except for the $1s and roulettes, which are on a slightly different mold), the inlays are textured (which I prefer), the colours are all great (the $25 is maybe the worst, but it's still pretty good, the hundo is just AMAZING, the $500 looks even better in person), and the inlays are all shaped.
Put the $1s and roulettes on the SCV mold instead of RHC, put nicer colours on the $25, make more $500s and add some $1000s and this would be the dream chip set. As it is, it's pretty close. IMHO the perfect set doesn't exist, though the Ritz chips (except for the cost) are pretty much there and Ritz are tourney chips only, there are no cash chips.
Bad thing is, I've run out of Paulson racks again. ???
When the next box comes, you will see. I ordered a sample set of what was left (there is isn't much in the mint ones), 85 pinkish ones, and 85 greyish ones. They will be my $1k and $5k chips for my improved, larger set. Unfortunately I only realized last night that the roulettes are on RHC mold. We'll see how the set plays and if I don't like it, I guess I'm selling off most of everything, except the sng set posted above.
Most of the cash chips I bought for parts of my other cash sets. Pics shortly.
Still waiting on my $.50 Presidents. I was only a day late to order...they SHOULD be in soon. :-\
TOO quickly...should have doubled the price methinks:D
Yeah those hundos went lightning quick and it was a fair price. Certainly not underpriced. But the more you deal in this chip aquiring game the more you realize if you see it and you want you buy it with no regrets. By the time you wait around for a better deal/better chip the opportunity never seems to come again.
As it was, you barely beat out that guy for your Aztar set. If you had hesitated at all for even an hour, they would have been gone.
Hence my Presidents insanity.
I'll bring your chips with me to Buzzard's on Saturday. $40 each, racks NOT included. I'll wrap them up as best I can for you.
See you all on Saturday. Thanks for the quick sale you guys.
Turns out I do have to work on Saturday, so I will be by around 4pm for the pick-up.
See you then!
No idea, but it sounds like a good excuse . Will you send the money to AJ or do you want to pay me later?

$119
Extra Chips Sold (300 $5 and 50 $100)-$170

1000 pc original set is now 800 pc though, so it works out to about $.525 per chip. Not bad for a collector set of Paulson Aztars, huh?? ^-^
Yes, you're right..
Guess what JUST came in?:D
I'm heading to KW/Cambridge for the weekend. I'll call you when I get there and set up a time/place to do the exchange.
C'mon, AJ, you gotta give us some chip prOn . . . thems the rulez.
I'm in buzzardds tourney.
i'll pay you when i pick them up.
They`ll be posted when I return home. Away for the weekend. But its NOTHING like Moose`s purchase. I only got 100 chips to fill up my Aztar`s.
Picked them all up today! Now to plan that poker game.....
