Not Mine Starbursts...lots of them! (1 Viewer)

[uclaure]

Hello Chippers,

I came across this ad on Craigslist. The seller wasn't willing to separate the chips from the tables. He wants 2500 obo for everything. 4000 starbursts! Only three colors though. If someone picks them up, I'd like a couple hundred of each at cost for a finders fee. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/for/6162969903.html

Sniff around and see if this guy would sell those Starburst alone maybe. I could be interested.

I just sent him a message

We have 8 trays- each tray holds about 500 chips

Look nice

63c per chip + 2 free craps tables + 6 free blackjack tables...

Sell each table for $50 and you get Paulsons for China clay prices (38c per chip).

If those are peach and somebody snags them, hook a brother up with a rack?

Edit: they look like they might not be peach, probably they're that lighter shade, I think melon?

 

[uclaure]

Any news?

 

[duffman]

If anyone grabs these, I would also be down for a rack or 2 of the peach & green.

 

[BSteck]

I'd be in for a rack of reds

 

[Steve5k]

I'd be in for a rack or two of red and a few racks of peach (2-4)

Are we there yet?

I'm trying, but he has not responded.......

 

[inca911]

These are basically in my backyard. I will contact him tomorrow, unless he responds to other PCFers' inquiries this evening.

 

[BSteck]

I'll throw the counts out there to help...

 

[jbutler]

If the ultimate buyer wants to unload all the chips at once, let me know. I could stand to let go of a few racks of peach and a couple racks of green, but would need at least 800 red and preferably 1000.

 

[uclaure]

I'd be interested in 200 peach, 300 red, and 200 green.

 

[BSteck]

Poor guy's phone is blowing up from chip-a-holic calls right now.

I'm not trying to step on the toes of those who had their dibs in before me. No worries if those sales prohibit my purchase. Just giving the eventual buyer the heads up that if they want to get rid of all in one transaction, there's an interested party.

Awesome! Thanks inca.

No worries on my end at all... we're all just expressing our desire for these chips and letting the future buyer know the interest out there. Hope someone lands them! (y) :thumbsup:

I would take two racks of each in case they were not all spoken for

 

[Seeking Alpha Social Club]

I would take the last 150 green

 

[Jambine]

Has this guy responded to anyone?
I made him an offer on all of the chips by email right before I posted above. No response

 

[Godzilla28]

1000 peach and whatever leftover greens please.

 

[whoop84]

I would take 100 peach if available.

 

[BSteck]

Ha! I love how we're all divvying up these phantom chips! Regardless, here's the latest counts...

We've resold 95% of the chips before they've even been purchased from the seller.

 

[BSteck]

Actually... 195% if you count jbutler's offer for all the chips. This place is crazy.

I exchanged emails with him early this morning, around 6 am pacific time. He said he wasn't interested in selling the chips by themselves. I told him thank you and that if he changed his mind to let me know. That's as far as I got. Hopefully someone here will have better luck and bring these chips to our community.

 

[inca911]

Just sent him a note to stop by tomorrow to take a look.

Walk in, drop $2500 on the table, pack up the racks and chips in your trunk, and drive away. The craps table might be worth a look-see.
