I think someone was collecting these.

Misspelled the title, maybe a mod can fix it?

This was a weird one: I was going to bid at the last second and the seller ended the auction early with like 15 seconds to go. Oh well.

 

[jbriod]

Same here. I was watching and saw the sale end abruptly. These would be good for a custom set.

Very strange.

Yeah, I was thinking of labeling them.

 

[jbriod]

oh well, I guess there might be more chips to come along for us.

Sounds like the seller wasn't expecting to get the price he wanted based on current bids, and had no faith in (or knowledge of) the practice of sniping or automatic bid services, both of which occur during the last five seconds.

Very shady, and violates the eBay TOS. I wouldn't buy anything from this seller.

 

[jbriod]

I had contacted the seller to see if it really sold or if he didnt get the price he was looking for. He said his son was playing with the phone and must have hit a button.

I got the exact same answer. I call BS on that. I think he ended it because he wasn’t going to get the price he expected.

I asked him if the item was going to be relisted, and got no response.

 

[Sprouty]

I had a similar set that I let go a while back. They were interesting chips.

 

[AfterTheFact]

Ha! I had my finger on the bid button when it ended. Guessing my $380 snipe would not have won anyways???

That was higher than my bid, so at least makes me feel a little better that I wouldn't have won anyway.

I just saw that it was $132~ and figured I would definitely pay more than that.

 

[BigChief]

This item was just relisted on eBay starting at $200! Then it was mysteriously ended again...

 

[FDLmold]

Back up again.

 

[Sprouty]

 

[warewulf]

Sounds like he's special...

 

[jbriod]

Jeesh. I’m exhausted just watching this posting go up then get taken down. I have no chance.

 

[BGinGA]

lol, $200. Mystery solved. Proceed with caution.

this thread is almost as confusing as the bitcoin thread.

HARD FORK!

 

[ovo]

I put in the 130 bid, expected it to go a lot higher

 

[upNdown]

Oh dear lord, these are some of the worst Paulsons ever AND a scam! Move along!

 

[BGinGA]

He said his son was playing with the phone and must have hit a button.

He's selling the iphone, too. Ten bucks.

Here’s the second listing. Same pics as the first time. Description slightly changed, I think. https://www.ebay.com/itm/152909622814

Looks like they are Paulsons now instead of Bud Jones.

 

[navels]

Yep, someone helpfully corrected him.

The more I look at these, the more I can't stand them, especially the colors, edge spots, inlays, and mold.

 

[Taghkanic]

Seems to me so many of these “luxury“ sets in wood boxes (featuring two decks of paper cards... and a fancy brass dealer button!) are just furniture for someone’s newly-built pool room in their McMansion.

This one at least has 500 chips. But often they have half as many, meaning at most they get used in a shorthanded game around a small, leather-topped table... Once. And then never see the light of day again. /rant

 

[TheBigTater]

Every set of these I've seen always look really dirty, probably due to the really dull colors, and always show lots of color transfer between chips. Even for relabels they aren't too appealing.

Example: Here’s a 300-chip leather box set with injection molds and “gilt-edged“ cards... for $2,800:

Smythson is an old and classy English company, known for their datebooks and other paper goods... It’s surprising that they would whiff so hard on this.
