For Sale AUCTION - AVIATION CLUB DE FRANCE TOURNEY SET (PAULSON) (4 Viewers)

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...

For someone who can't afford this set i've spent too much time on this thread. I have to find a solution for my addiction, any recommendations?

I'm watching this the same way I look at Ferraris.

I hope nobody starts yelling at me for putting nose-prints on the window and chases me off with a broom.

This^^^. Liking this post wasn’t enough. GLWS!

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

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.

You are definitely right and perfectly informed (as always ).
Less than 20 sets available within the community with very few truely T25 base capable. T25 were in very short supply.
There is a possibility, even though quite unlikely, of a few additional sets outside the community. If the latter exist they probably will never show up however.

Good luck to any who may be bidding!

If I had $14+ per chip to throw at them, I’d be seriously considering it.

 

[oONemoOo]

1H left...

 

[vapourtrail1]

Hmmm, nobody placed a bid.... Really??? (n) :thumbsdown:

 

[Heavyball]

I think, as many of us are finding, December is a tough month to sell...

@$13 ea?

 

[krafticus]

Guess they aren’t worth that much. My father always said, things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them.

But yeah, the holiday season is a tough time to sell

GLWS

 

[liftapint]

It's just a bunch of dough to come up with at once...and yes, particularly in December. Amazing set. Wish they were in my chip vault.

 

[CHP TD]

yeah conversion rate kills me off the bidder list Just under $10,000 aussie dollars

Oh well a guy can dream about this grail set...

 

[kk405]

Good month for the buyers. I assume January will be the same as bills and damages to our finances due to excessive shopping start showing up in the mail. But not a bad time to buy reasonably-priced chips

This is a grail set for sure. But even another grail set (the Dunes) had to be split-up. I hope this one doesn't, but don't remember the last time a set sold for 8K+. And this having some of the absolute most gorgeous chips/colors of ANY set (and me being frugal according to @BGinGA), I hope someone makes a ceramic hybrid replica so I can add another set to my collection of chips I don't put in play

GLWS

@$13 ea?

Didn't say it was the only reason

That being said, these 5ks and 10ks are just incredible...

Honestly, every single denom in that set is incredible.

The original ceramic ACF regular tournament set was made in hybrid by Sun-Sfly.

I do not think it's a problem to make a replica with Sun-Fly..... another idea for @OldWestPokerSupplies

Those are some hideous chips

 

[upNdown]

Those are some hideous chips

I agree. The fact that they’re from a casino that also happened to have some other chips that were amazing, doesn’t make these ceramics any more attractive.

 

[BELGRADE]

I have a both ACF set (Paulson & ceramic).

I don't like to much ceramic chips but the ACF have something special

 

[pltrgyst]

Those are some hideous chips

Sure are. I'll be glad to take any you might have off your hands for a buck apiece...

 

[pltrgyst]

You know, it's easy enough to say that particular chips just don't appeal to you, with applying denigrating absolutes to chips that other people probably really like, whether that like is for their inherent beauty or for sentimental attachment.

And it's probably even less advisable when your media consists of pix of thousands of Desert Palms CCs, or your avatar is a chip whose color looks like something in between green pea soup and dog barf.

 

[k9dr]

I kinda like ‘em

 

[k9dr]

Sure are. I'll be glad to take any you might have off your hands for a buck apiece...

Is $1 per chip your opening bid :
