Not Mine Did anyone get the 1200ish "Sam's Casino" Paulsons in Laguna Hills, CA? (1 Viewer)

So what happened to the rest of the chips?

Perhaps the "seller" realized these are just awesome chips, so he "stole" them back (well kind of stole them back... for $800 of "please don't put my dumb ass in jail money")... if so, I'd say the guy made out like a son of a motherless goat! Please fellow PCFers, don't pay this scumsucking pig a dime (or 100,000 pesos) if they get listed on eBay, OfferUp, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, the Silk Road, or a flea market in Santa Poco. Then again, you probably can't help your addiction to poker chips (I know I can't). All of you soap opera fans will probably want to own these chips with yet another crazy freakin' story... but I will let @kaimat be the one to spill all the beans. Of course, the chips are beautiful, sharp edged and also... infamous (which means "more than famous"). Happy ending I think. I have pics, but it wouldn't be right to share them.

The California chapter of the Chip Nerd mafia doesn't mess around! Glad it all worked out.

If only we had @Changster here stateside, this insane clown ("BTP") possey would be fully stacked to rally against the evildoers.

@Changster... you ready to kick some ass? I just want to know if your nickname is limited to PCF or if you go by Changster in real life.

Well done @Steppenwolf for Steppenup. Actual footage of the transaction below...

Breakdown on the 600?

Breakdown on the 600?

Final breakdown doesn't look too bad. The guy selling these used to play poker (won $6k at tourney's according to his stats), so I like to think he provided a decent breakdown.

In the end he said he wanted to keep half of the set in case he ever got back into poker. I think it would be hard for most people to sell their father's custom poker chips, so I can understand that. After he tried to offer $300 to compensate, which I turned down, he repaid the full $800 and apologized "for all the BS" haha.

And now, the pr0n.

IMO he shoulda given you a couple more barrels of 5s and a couple fewer of 25s.

Well, actually he should have given you 1,200 chips.

With customs, having less than a huge, complete set seems like a problem (since you’re not going to find more).

Given that these were his fathers and he knows their history of use, I’d think the preponderance of 25’s says something about his fathers game stakes maybe, like 5’s were antes or something.

So are they relabels or actual factory inlays?

Inlays

 

[Taghkanic]

Maybe a 5/10 game?

I’m just advancing the generic point that with customs, twice the chips is more than twice the utility. (Maybe it will be possible to find more of those pinks.)

Anyway, it’s a nice score even with the dodginess/hassle of the sale. Mainly jealous b/c my first name is Sam.

Inlays

Yeah, these inlays are legit!
