Being a lurker from the Chiptalk days I purchased a lot of chips from Jim between 2010 - 2016 and had benefited greatly from the @TheChipRoom sales at the time. Last year I was in need of money and ended up selling and profiting heavily from many chips I was fortunate to buy in these sales. Jim continues to offer great deals that can't be matched but the sales we were privy to back then were insane. I am starting a new job on Monday and am really excited but also know times are probably very tough for many of you.

I have decided to do something crazy and offer up my heads-up tournament set at cost. I saw the 100s are very sought after and going for a crazy price but I am offering all of these chips for exactly what I paid for them in the Chiproom sale back in 2011. Here is my receipt (I purchased extras and added $500s later at the same price).

The final sale price will be*:

Primary $5 x 30 - $.49 - $14.70
Primary $25 x 34 - $.49 - $16.66
Secondary $100 x 40 - $.79 - $31.60
Primary $500 x 6 - $4.00 - $24.00

Total - 110 Chips - $87 (4 cents processing charge)

Shipping - $8 SFRB US
International - Actual Shipping (International shipping may be delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic)

*Winner agrees to pay the above price for the set and will not flake. The winner refusing to pay the above will result in me getting super pissed off.

How to Win (specifics added 9:05 Eastern 3/27/2020)


I will do a random number generator to select 8 entries to play in a final table hand for the right to the chips. Players with multiple entries can win multiple seats to the final table. Hypothetically, someone with 8 or more entries can make up the entire final table!

Once I do the random generator whoever is in the one seat gets to choose the game. They can choose from the following:

Hold Em
Omaha
7-Card
Razz
Badugi (No draw dealt one at a time F*CK YEAH)
A-5 Lowball (No draw dealt one at a time F*CK YEAH)
2-7 Lowball (No draw dealt one at a time F*CK YEAH)

The other 7 entries that make the final table will also win a random chip offered at some point by the Chiproom for their participation.

Wow! Thanks so much for this. What a wonderful distraction!

@Zmasterben, this is my "mixed" Empress cash set. I have more Empress chips in transit that are stuck unfortunately, in USA. It's a challenge to be into chipping and live in Canada...but still 300+ original Empress chips..

Sincerely, before this gets out of hand.

"(Categories do not stack, you get the entries in the category you fall in)"

Was this not clear enough? I meant that the entries stack where you fall. I will edit the OP as soon as possible to avoid confusion.

Doh! I missed that. Plus I was just trying to be a smart ass. I assumed they did not stack. Sorry for possibly adding confusion to the "Overly Complicated Empress Joliet Heads-Up Sale - 2011 Chiproom Prices". :unsure:

No it is ok. I want this to be as complicated as possible.

Did I mention the in the OP that the winner has to complete an American Gladiator style obstacle course to win the chips?
 
Winner will be chosen through a random number generator. I may change this to a real life final table draw if interest is high.

Ok, so clearly interest is high for these chips!

2-7 Lowball (No draw dealt one at a time F*CK YEAH)

The other 7 entries that make the final table will also win a random chip offered by at some point by the Chiproom for their participation.

If anyone has any ideas on how to make this even more complicated than it already is please let me know

Then I think we should repeat this, until someone wins twice. Every week.

This is an awesome way to pay back! If I win, I do not want to take all of the chips, I only need "some of the 5s and 100s. I would promise to forward the rest of the chips on at cost. Or allow the second place person to scoop the remaining chips :)
