Canceled Windwalker's 5000th Post Mega Sample Set Sale: Cocaine Giraffes (1 Viewer)

Of all the PM requests I've ever received about sample sets, I've had none more than requests for a set of the Sacramento Casino Fun Room, dubbed by @JeepologyOffroad (I think) as the Cocaine Giraffes. I've been reticent to break racks, so for my 5000th post sales bonanza, I've decided to break 1 rack of each denom to create 100 sample sets.

The catch? The sale is only valid if all 100 sample sets are spoken for. Please indicate your dibs on a sample set (limit 4 per individual), and I will start filling in the list at the end of this post. Once all 100 slots are filled, the sale is valid, and I'll collect payment, and all sets will be shipped out. The sale will be open for 15 days.

The sample includes the $0.25, $0.50, $1, $5, $10, $20 and the milled/labeled leaded $100 by @Gear .

Price per sample set is $200 $150 plus $8 shipping in the CONUS. International buyers must either have a re-shipper or pay for international shipping.

[Highli99]

I’ll do another one and might do up to max if we need numbers to get to 100.

 

[BigSlick4523]

I think $150 a sample sounds way better LOL naw GLWS these are Awesome

 

[NumisChip]

In for one set please

 

[BillyBluff]

Oh, go on then - in for a sample! Thanks Krish

 

[Windwalker]

Slots 18, 19, 20 and 21 taken by a member who wishes to stay anonymous. Member also requested a price discount, which I’ve applied to everyone. Sample set price is now $175 plus shipping.

 

[Bill_Man618]

If we keep up with this rate we will all be looking a minty Coke Giraffe chips in our mailboxes soon! Thanks for offering these up Krish they’re great chips.

 

[Grandmasturkey]

In for a set pls

 

[Windwalker]

Just 23 so far!

I thought this might have more interest at $175 for a sample set, but I might have been wrong. Will leave it up for a couple more days and if there’s no movement, I’ll take it down.

Wouldn't breaking a barrel of each denom suffice to make samples? Then you would have 80 spares for each denom.

I call that a win win scenario in my book.

 

[Justchipin]

I'll take 1

 

[PinDoc]

Count me in for one set please.

 

[5bucks]

I’m out
Thanks

 

[FickieRowler]

Dibs for One.

[BigSlick4523]

LOL J/K very nice of you Krish they are awesome

 

[Duck]

In for a set!

 

[Windwalker]

I guess this ended up being a reverse auction after all.

Final price drop to $150/sample set.

Sale concludes / cancels on Sunday next week.

 

[Windwalker]

Bump

 

[chrismurda]

Bump

Pun intended?

 

[Justchipin]

The fact that this isn't at 100 dibs yet but you can't get Jim sale $5 for less then 350 a rack? Something is wrong here guys haha

 

[asam2006]

At the reduced price please put me down for 2 sample sets! Thanks

 

[MrCastro127]

I will take 2 now if that helps us get them !

 

[cpac54]

@upNdown ?

I buy samples, but I'm not sure what I'm missing (hope this isn't taken as a thread crap, seriously curious). They are bright colours and crazy inlay on 6 original chips, can't be that rare if we're talking about putting 100 into the market.

I cane easily see $50-60 but I can't get to $150. Can anyone sell me on these?

 

[citationjeff]

Me too, if these have a unique history or some other defining value point, I'd love to know more about them. Thanks!

 

[Windwalker]

can't be that rare if we're talking about putting 100 into the market.

Grant, I think the difference here is between “rare” and “scarce”. Since I own the overwhelming bulk of these chips (they were first set I truly went all out on trying to assimilate), the price is simply a reflection of what it would take for me to break 7 racks and create sample sets. I have gotten numerous requests to buy sample sets over the last 2 years, and this sale is a bit of an experiment to see if I could sell 100 of them at a time.

I personally don’t collect sample sets, so I don’t understand the allure, but I figured if people were interested, they’d sign up for one.

In terms of price / value, I think it’s a murky equation. If it’s not worth it to someone, they won’t sign up. If it is, they will. I just have a minimum I’m willing to take in order to break up racks, and this was the price, that’s all.

There are some threads that discuss the history (or non-history) of this card room, and what led to the existence of less than 6000 chips in total from here.

Sample sets have sold for all kinds of prices on PCF, but perhaps they really only have a few buyers at higher prices. Like I said, this was just an experiment. If it work, great. If it doesn’t, I’ll gladly keep the 7 racks.
