Sold Windwalker Sale #4: a Starter ESPT Set Plus Extras (Newbie Sale) (3 Viewers)

Up for sale is an Empress Star Primary Tournament (ESPT) starter set. 100% are in MINT condition. I am selling this set ONLY as a set, and am offering ROFR on the extra racks and barrels to the person who takes the set.

This set is being priced below market value, as are the extra racks and barrels.

NEWBIE SALE!
This is a special "starter" sale for newbies -- I am giving preferential dibs to anyone who is new to the forum, and has had trouble finding a playable set to purchase.

Here are the rules for "newbie dibs":

• I will look at all dibs (NOT "I'm interested", NOT "I like this", literally USE THE WORD "dibs" on this thread,) using timestamps between now and 9:59PM Pacific tomorrow (Friday September 4).
• The first "dibs" from anyone who joined August 2nd or later gets the set.
• If there are no newbie dibs by that time, the sale falls back to normal precedence.

Please review the Buying Criteria section below before placing dibs.

THE STARTER SET:
(Yes, I'm aware the set is short 10 T25, but I'm sure you can find that easily.)

DENOMINATION	QUANTITY
T25	110
T100	120
T500	60
T1000	80
T5000	40
Total Chips	410

T500	80	$135/barrel
T1000	140	$135/barrel
T5000	60	$140/barrel

Buying Criteria:

• I will honor dibs, but dibs means you're taking it. If you're curious about them, or have questions -- please PM first.
• This is a "newbie sale" -- please see rules above.
• All purchases must be made by dibs first -- post on the thread, and then PM me to complete the purchase.
• Left-over barrels are up for grabs AFTER all sets have been claimed / sold.
• The set-buyer has ROFR on all extra barrels.
• All buyers pay shipping.
• Paypal FF only.
• Only CONUS, due to COVID-19 complications.
• I reserve the right to refuse to do business with anyone. (The "you've-been-an-asshat-to-me-in-the-past" clause.)

I understand what you meant, but I think everyone should weigh in on whether or not you are an azzhat.

 

[Goldfish]

in the event that there is a split and anyone previously claiming dibs is deemed to be an “asshat” I would like the 25s and 100s.

 

[Ben8257]

Brie and I are willing to help a friend. @LeGold if you still want them and pay the shipping (which is going to be expensive) we can help getting the package to you!!

 

[Goldfish]

Just to confirm I am calling “dibs” on the 25s and 100s if permitted. Thx.

 

[TroyMan]

Dibs on the set and all the extras. Not a newbie, however.

MFRB should be plenty if opting for USPS, for us that is still considered cheap.
@LeGold....go DHL and no more USPS & customs hassle, they are worth it

@Windwalker -> just a shame LeGold has to pay shipping twice, while international members already pay so much overhead.
Would you consider shipping international if money is sent PP F&F and all responsability drops after handing them over to USPS or DHL ?
Asking for a friend

 

[LeGold]

First things first. I don't want to do the bill without the innkeeper, as the saying goes from where I'm from.
I absolutely appreciate the re-shipping offers, should it be necessary. Thanks @horseshoez & @Ben8257, won't forget that no matter the outcome!

As for the carrier, yes, definitely either DHL or FedEx. More expensive (at least to Norway), but smooth and arrives within a week.

They beat me to it but you know I’m always here to help you or any other international chippers with shipping

 

[BPTDirector]

THOSE ARE MALLARDS, NOT DUCKS!!!

 

[liftapint]

Sale #5....it’s one closer to Sale #6!!!!

 

[Windwalker]

Respecting this fully I Wonder if noobs know what the history is and how the face appears. I will admit they look nice from the top though...

If only there was a place called “Poker Chip Forum” where they could go search for “ESPT”, learn its history, see pictures, understand its value, and then come bid on this!

 

[LeGold]

It's too long of a story for anyone to be able to read in time to reach the deadline. *crossing fingers*

 

[Josh Kifer]

I understand what you meant, but I think everyone should weigh in on whether or not you are an azzhat.

This is the prime content I'm here for....

 

[Windwalker]

I overestimated the zeal of newbies for new chips. I must be an anomaly. Oh well.

Maybe if you would just slightly expand your definition of a n00b. Say last 3-4 months rather than just one month?

3-4 months here is an eternity. I’ve only been here 2 months.

 

[LeGold]

Yeah, then we could easily expand it to 8 months too... oh, wait, well who would have thought!

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

3-4 months here is an eternity. I’ve only been here 2 months.

You are an EXTREME outlier...

 

[mathewsarcher83]

4-monther here... it has felt like a year

 

[razer8c]

I just hope whoever gets them let's those extra barrels go and my dibs hold Haha

I am trying to avoid looking at this thread (fail) and drinking until 9:59PM

Pull the trigger!

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

Now I many also be an extreme outlier, but my first month here, my budget for a set of chips was $150. The second month I actually bought a set, and spent about $250. Last month I spent $500 on my custom cards mold set. MAYBE by the end of the year I MIGHT be ready to drop coin on something like this. Yeah I know, snails pace. I suspect most n00bs are somewhere in between our two extremes.

 

[liftapint]

it is a little insane that these haven't been claimed yet.

 

[Windwalker]

They’ve been claimed by multiple people, just not a n00b.
