I need to return to a little liquidity in order to finish my BOLO project by year's end, so it's time for an auction. For your consideration, we have a 630 chip set of Jacks Detroit chips suitable for a 20-person tournament, These chips really need no introduction, but here are a couple pictures nonetheless:

The set breakdown is as follows:
$5 GO x205
$25 GO x205
$100 Secondary x150
$500 Secondary x50
$1000 Primary x20

As is, this is enough to do a 20-person deepstack freeze-out 3K tournament with 10/10/7/2/1 chip stacks. There are a few extra 5s and 25s to cover losses and damage, and enough extra 100s and 500s to colour-up all the 5s and 25s. Just hunt for either more $500s or $1000s in order to convert to a more traditional 2K tourney with sufficient rebuys to suit your group. These chips have been lightly handled but not used in a game. They are otherwise in minty condition. They have not been oiled.

The reserve price has been set at US$1160, which is the initial cost of all these chips at the very first Chip Room sale price, and does not include shipping/insurance charges. This is considerably less than my actual acquisition cost of these chips. Of every dollar of winning bid above US$1160, half of that money will be directly added to the prize pool of my upcoming charity fundraiser which I will be doing in the latter half of August this year, and this money will go directly to Canadian-registered charity as chosen by the winner of the casino tournament held at the time. The higher you bid, the more money will be pre-raised!

If the winning auction bid is $1400 or more, as a special gift I will include up to 6 Matsui racks (like the ones in the pictures above) OR up to 6 Paulson 24010 or ChipCo acrylic racks at no extra charge. However, be warned that the increased bulk of the racks may increase the total shipping cost. All of these racks are in newer condition.

To encourage bidders from outside Canada/CONUS/Alaska/Hawaii, I will offer a $25 shipping discount to the auction winner if shipped to an address outside of these areas, i.e. Europe, Asia, Australia, etc. This may also be considered a bit of compensation for challenges with time zones as this auction ends very late at night near GMT and very early in the morning in the Far East and Down Under.

Mandatory auction rules as per site policy:
  1. STARTING BID: $1160
  2. Bids must be placed using numbers (no images), in whole dollars, and in minimum increments of $10
  3. NO RESERVE. The Starting Bid of this auction will be treated as the Reserve Price.
  4. All bids are to be placed openly in this thread. No bids via PM/Conversation.
  5. No bid edits or bid retractions permitted. (note: ALL edits are logged instantly)
  6. Auction will use the '5 minutes after last closing bid rule'. Highest bid at 4pm, Pacific Time, Wednesday, 29 May 2019 will win unless there is a bid within 5 minutes of closing time - then the closing time will be within 5 minutes after the latest bid was posted. A bid at the close time is NOT a valid bid. Since seconds are not displayed on post timestamps, these examples will be used as a reference.
  7. I reserve the right to: 1) cancel the auction if no bids have been made; 2) edit the listing to correct errors or clarify rules as needed.
  8. PCF (its Owner, Admins, and Moderators) are in no way responsible for any actions in this auction.
  9. Shipping Terms: I will ship anywhere in the world at Canada Post rates, insurance optional
  10. Payment Terms: PayPal Friends and Family (or Goods and Services at +3% after total costs)
