I love everything about these but their slipperiness. I've decided to move them. They have been used exactly one time. With all the drama going on (some pot stirring from me) I've decided to start this auction at $100.00's less than what I paid for them. Why you may ask? Why not.

100 x green
200 x blue
200 x yellow
80 x purple 25
20 x white 100

Also, please be advised it will probably take me a week or so to ship. The next 10 days for me are very busy.

I will add pictures to the OP in just a second.



@pltrgyst feel free to double check my ending time since I routinely screw that up lol

So this means you’ll have no Matsui chips? Or still keeping a single table set?

 

[detroitdad]

None, they're just too slippery for me.

Does no one get thrown off having a green .25?

I played a night with them, it was fine for the whole table.

 

[Highli99]

Does no one get thrown off having a green .25?

No it works fantastically as long as you do not also use a green $25. The purple $25 is perfect for this reason.

 

[liftapint]

The green fracs were by far the most popular in the group buy. And most appropriate for an Emerald Bay set

 

[detroitdad]

And for some crazy reason these sell for more than 1.4 per chip. I'll donate the extra to @David O charity

 

[WedgeRock]

Theae are great chips. Slippery? A little. But they are brand new. To say the colors pop is an understatement. The pink and orange fracs (not in this auction) are electric. I liked these chips more than I expected.

Sad to see these go, @detroitdad, but GLWS.

 

[ssanel54]

agree, though guess it depends on the stakes. also make a killer $25 in an Emerald Bay theme

 

[RocAFella1]

What was the over/under on how long this set would be kept for?

 

[WedgeRock]

What was the over/under on how long this set would be kept for?

@detroitdad's duration on holding on to sets is measured by uses, not by days or weeks.

Therefore, these chips lasted exactly 1 DD.

 

[pltrgyst]

.... Highest bid at [ 8pm, Eastern Standard, SUN, 09-01-2019] will win....

@pltrgyst feel free to double check my ending time since I routinely screw that up lol

I think you were second-guessing yourself, Bill! What you have is 9pm your current time in Detroit..

So you might have wanted to say 8pm Eastern Daylight Time, (or simply Eastern Time). Until October, anyway...

 

[pltrgyst]

BTW, $700.

LOL

We need a PCF unit of measure sticky...1 changster, 1 DD, etc

 

[kaimat]

I thought these chips were designed to not have the slipperiness that is typical of Matsuis.

Were they better than most Matsuis, just too slippery for you personally? Or do they seem to be the typical Matsui slipperiness?

 

[liftapint]

They are a little more slippery than the Horseshoes

 

[detroitdad]

They are a little more slippery than the Horseshoes

correct.....

 

[detroitdad]

slippery for you personally

It would actually be helpful to have an embedded clock we could all use as a reference point for auctions.

 

[detroitdad]

Does no one get thrown off having a green .25?

It didn't at all. IMO, the green frac looked fantastic with the blue ones and the yellow fives. I purchased three different colors of fracs. Before I got them I anticipated that the green would be my least favorite. It ended up blowing the other two out of the water.

They are pretty freaking slippery.

 

[detroitdad]

They are pretty freaking slippery.

They are ever just slightly more slicker than the Horseshoe Matsuis. That "slightly more" takes it past my threshold.

Oh snap. I was referring to the Horseshoes, any extra slippery and I don't think I could handle it.

Too me, they feel a touch slippery. @liftapint ? Its fractional, but its there imo.

get a few platters of wings for a game...those chips will be sticky in no time

 

[Perthmike]
