For Sale AUCTION - AVIATION CLUB DE FRANCE TOURNEY SET (PAULSON) (1 Viewer)

Yes, you read well. For personal reasons, I'm retiring from chips collecting and I'm selling my entire collection (ACF, Ritz, Mapes, Foxwoods, Bourbon Street and more...). I decided to begin with these mythical chips. I'm selling the whole lot so please don't ask for samples.

Clarification : 'Personal reasons' doesn't mean I'm in need of money. So if it is not sold, I should be able to survive...

A real heartbreak, but here they are...

I read "auction" as "raffle" and was like, "Awe crap, I have to enter this one."

Then read the thread and sighed with relief. GLWS.

December 17th? Should be enough time to sell my house. Watch out boys!!

What a set!!

The market has been such that you probably could, too! Time to call your bestest realtor friend - or you could just take out a second on yours...

 

[Whitewolf777]

Two dream sets available on the same day.
Any other miracle soon?

For info, to those who do not know him, Cyberrottweiller is one of the most respected and most reliable chipper in France.

Ditching any Bud Jones chips?

 

[Whitewolf777]

To my knowledge there are less than 25 playable ACF sets (Paulson version) available
This is the first time such an opportunity appears since the initial purchase two years ago.

Why, you have a table that needs leveling?

25 sets? Holy cow. Didn't realize there were that many.

To whomever wins this auction - the T5k chip is my favorite chip of all time and I'll be your bestest friend if you sell me one.

Please and thank you.

Ummm, have you noticed the T10K?

 

[upNdown]

Ummm, have you noticed the T10K?

Yes. I wonder how much I'd pay for just one 5k or 10k. Quite a bit, I'd imagine.

 

[AWenger]

If I had a Bitcoin, I'd be bidding.

 

[Poker Zombie]

Let's not overlook the T25 - the best T25 chip ever... and I would include my own customs in that opinion!

OK, the ACF chips would look better with a French Zombie pilot, but still...

 

[pltrgyst]

Only if you like mint chocolate chip ice cream.

(And who doesn't?)

 

[pedrofisk]

Wow, that is a holy grail.

 

[BGinGA]

25 sets? Holy cow. Didn't realize there were that many.

It was 18 or 19 last time I counted. Wonder if some of the larger set owners sold off a few chips....

 

[kk405]

Not enough 25s or hundos in the set for me to bid. But if I ever did, and won, I would send Dan a chip, gratis.

 

[BGinGA]

There basically aren't enough T25 chips in anybody's set..... and most don't have ANY.

Only a couple of sets that are truly T25-base capable (and only single-table at that). Might be one set with two full racks of T25s. T500s are in pretty short supply, too.

I think I could make it work, despite these "limitations".

Just get some Casino De Mexico 10/10ks (or another chip that closely matches) and relabel..
or change them to pennies and use it as a quirky cash set..
or put them in a birdcage and hang them on your wall as art.
Many possibilities (y) :thumbsup:

So so glad to hear this. Makes my decision so much more rationale/easier (y) :thumbsup:

It seems the only answer is for someone to buy this set and then sell it off as a slew of sample sets and singles.

If there aren't enough 25s...

 

[Mac128k]

What is that, like $433 per full sample set? Yikes.

Will never tell anyone what to do with their money, but this should not be allowed. By law. Should become part of the chipping constitution

Gosh, this kinda makes me want to do it! Alas, $6400 is too steep for a lark!

 

[Pierna]

Wow simply epic.
I can’t possibly afford it but would love to find this one under the tree on Christmas morning

 

[liftapint]

I need to set up breathalyzer-access to this site, so I can't access threads like this after I have lifted an IPA or two (or more). It could get very very expensive.

(but at least I'd have beautiful souvenirs of my tipsy shopping!).

Seriously, amazing set.

 

[dickzapper]

Wow, ending on Sunday night in the EU and Sunday evening in the U.S. That's a Pay Per View quality event. The railbirds should have to pay for threadside viewing. But the cost also includes a raffle entry for a single T100. Let's get creative.

Dec 17 made an international holiday. Jour de la Vente.

 

[dickzapper]

In observance you leave an empty rack out by the package drop-off spot. Then, during regular business hours, Old Saint Chip leaves you a sample set of his latest customs - for the most chipper chippers, that is. The naughty ones have their rack filled with dice chips.
