Sold Argosy Casino Indiana (4 Viewers)

Most of these chips say Argosy on the face. They have all been cancelled with a hot stamp. Some of the hot stamps have been removed, but an indent remains. The stamps can be removed with non-acetone nail polish remover. These chips are not drilled and notched like most of the Argosy chips that were sold in the Paulson store.

The .50 chips say Indiana Gaming Co. and have not been cancelled with the hot stamp


I have four "small game" sets and four "big game" sets. Here are the prices for PayPal with shipping included CONUS. US residents get priority.

Small Game
0.5 - 200
1 - 200
5 - 75
Total 475 ($379)

Big Game
1- 300
5 -300
25 -100
100 -35
500 -5
Total 740 ($566)

Racks of .50 can be added on to any set for $100 a rack, or $150 a rack without a set purchase.

The tourney set is $1500 and priority is given to anyone that buys a cash set

Breakdown
1-2
5-211

Only on the internet can a conversation go from collectible poker chips being for sale to someone bringing up a racist diatribe that makes a disagreement about thread categories analogous to civil rights issues. Unreal. lol Some of you need a hobby, other than grandstanding on the internet I mean.

I wanted to make it quite clear that "take it or leave it" is not justifiable. If I offended people who are too PC in life, well, you're just going to have to deal with it. Tissue GB?

Wow, @guinness , you took my statement as I was offended by your post?? Make no mistake. I was lightheartedly pointing out the lunacy in even bringing up a statement I haven't heard since elementary school to argue about what forum a topic goes in, not saying I was offended by it. You obviously don't know me because I despise professional victims and people who get "offended" as much as people doing 56 in the left lane while playing candy crush on their phone.

I want to make it quite clear that a) It doesn't fucking matter what category it's in, I hit "New Post" like the rest of the civilized world so what's good for me is good for everybody else, b)the underground railroad out of poker chip persecution needs a conductor and you sir fit that bill. Please keep fighting the good fight for which category someone selling poker chips get put in, my god if you don't who will, and c) keep the tissues, I'm sure you've got a ton of uses for them. /senseofhumorcheck


Sorry, no jokes in for sale/group buy/stand against the maaaaannnn threads, my bad.

Not sure a moderator should be "liking" this post. They're supposed to be impartial, aren't they?

Alright alright.....lets get back to the chips.....so here's a cute cartoon to get back on track

I thought these chips were all sold. What's next up for sale? Let's see 'em!!

I think they are all listed under group buys over on CT

@bergs , @guinness

I'm joking around, seriously, sorry if I offended. No need to take sides or anyone have to be worried about what post to like, I apologize for carping @H|Q thread and if anybody wants these posts gone feel free to tell me and I'll delete them. My opinion stands but it makes absolutely no difference to me either way and I didn't mean to offend.

Can't wait to see what the next sale is.

MaxB if you digitally touched that image of TriHonda's card protector to manipulate it into this photo, there will be hell to pay. You never touch a moderator's card protector when they're in the middle of moderating.

Is the infamous card protector an oversized Aztar chip? I just randomly picked the 1k chip from my folder (y) :thumbsup:

 

[12thMan]

Oh my god I didn't even see the card protector under the rainbow, I seriously laughed out loud for a few seconds. I'm glad trihonda is laughing about it now because that is pretty damn funny having it show up every once in a while. Kind of like a meme for the community!

For the record, I was only liking point "A".

And two, when you take a moderator action, and it gets debated to holy hell by people who apparently just like to be disagreeable to everything... well, we're only human after all, and prone to having opinions.

Mods move posts all the time to more appropriate locations. We don't do so out of some power trip, we're just trying to keep the forum cleaner and make more sense. I personally never saw the long thread on GB vs WTS.. Nor do I care. This thread was moved to a more appropriate location, and Tommy has spoken on the issue as well.

 

[H|Q]

... This thread was moved to a more appropriate location, and Tommy has spoken on the issue as well.

Please reference the rules so we can follow them.

It seems we are defaulting to Big Blue when we've left it for the new world.

And we are debating an action you took that some of us don't agree with. If you could show us what qualifies as a group buy, I'd follow it. Right now it appears it's whatever you and whoever reported this agrees upon.

The person that reported this thread must have a huge troll boner by now.

(BTW how do I report my own thread as being in the wrong forum?)

Here's the thing. GB are a community thing. They become the history of forum and engage more folks Enriching the hobby for everyone involved.

When someone posts a WTS ad they aren't subjecting themselves to a landslide of bullshit to hook up their friends and community, like someone starting a GB.

These Argosy chips are sold so I don't really care, but I intend to open another GB thread for some Grand Vic's and Stardust Mansions very soon. Will those get moved again? If so I'll just list them at Danny's full retail.

This group buy saved everyone that bought some 25% and the previously not for sale Tourney chips became available for a SONG. This only happened with the combined purchasing power of this forum.

Harley don't you understand some things are more important than money?

I, for one, am ready to die on this hill and if that means forcing everyone to pay 25% more so that these chips can be listed in the "right" subforum (notwithstanding the fact that I have no basis to understand which is the "right" subforum), so be it.

Back to my post from the other thread. The Queen song fits perfect in regards to how many poker chip sets I want... "I want it all and I want it now!" lol.

 

[Trihonda]

Here's my take (not that I need to justify myself):

You have a person who veers away from poker (according to the OP), and decides to liquidate his massive hoard of chips (we're are all very excited at this). Then you have the OP who graciously agrees to assist with selling these chips to the fine folks here on PCF. OP's plan (from my understanding), is to list these chips in lots/groups to help sell off the owner's chips. Some of these lots have already sold.

This is a for-sale classified. This in no way resembles any group buy I have ever seen, and very much resembles most classified ads I've seen (even for massive sets/collections)..

As stated already by myself and Tommy, a group buy typically involves a group of individuals working together to purchase a bunch of X, using mass buying power or just organizing an order to meet minimums from various vendors. Generally, the community has input into how the purchase progresses. There have been many examples of people selling off chip collections, and they never called it a "group buy". People just call it a classified ad. It's like the argument of porn vs art... You just know porn when you see it.

Once the thread is moved (by me), the OP argues that there's a cool factor associated with the GB subforum, and wanted his listing posted there. There are several arguments made why this should happen... such as that unless all of the sets are spoken for, none of the sets will sell (is this really the case), Do those who have purchased sets already have some contingency that these sets are not actually up for sale unless all the remaining sets in the entire collection also sell? There is also the argument that everyone has now saved 25% off these chips because of this massive buying power of the group? 25% off what? Not for me to say. I do know the OP has graciously stepped up to make this sale happen, and that many in the community are grateful.

Despite these arguments, this sale just "feels" like a classified ad to me, and Tommy has posted like-wise as well. When someone reported the thread, indicated it probably belonged in the classifieds, I looked at it and agreed. Thread moved, not a big deal. Not sure why it is a big deal? There was no subversive plot to undermine the sale, or to dredge up some old overly-hashed out GB vs. WTS arguments from some old thread. However, there just might be black helicopters circling your house right now...? (ha, made you stop and listen for a sec).

If you still have questions about staff actions, please refer to the TERMS OF SERVICE

If you are genuinely concerned about defining a GB or want clarification, I'd suggest a PM to Tommy (and not arguing with site staff in a thread). I'd also like an explanation of why it's so important to have this listed as a GB? Is there some status or benefit in this?

I'm genuine scratching my head trying to figure out what the big deal is all about. Like I said, threads get moved around all the time. Sounds like there were some pre-existing GB vs WTS issued harbored in the community.

I don't even own one of those chips... wish I did!

So apparently he's trying to needle someone else?

 

[Gear]

I wasn't going to weigh in, but I think this is all just a big misunderstanding. On the surface it looks like a very large sale, or a number of large sales, which like any other sales belongs in the Classified as a WTS ad.

But what's becoming clear (and was definitely not clear to start with) is that NCD is apparently selling these chips at reduced rates if and only if he can sell them all at once. So H|Q is working with him to come to a price, then posting here to say OK, we need 'x' buyers at 'y' dollars each to make this happen -- otherwise, no deal, or "full retail" prices. THAT sounds like a group buy to me.
