Sold Overly Complicated Empress Joliet Heads-Up Sale - 2011 Chiproom Prices [Winner Selected] (10 Viewers)

Not open for further replies.
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.

IN!!!
One of my biggest regrets was not buying these empress chips when I first started chipping.

I waited for Grand Vic, and bought my first set. (Roulettes) I would love a little empress in my life!!
 
Updated! Sorry about that. I will do a double check tomorrow night before the final table is randomly generator.

Right now I have 104 individuals with 704 entries.
I want 704 people and 104 entries... Make it so!
 
New job update:

It's 8:30 AM and I have already been fired for "gross incompetence" whatever that means!

Less than 12 hours left to enter the contest. I currently have 745 entries among 108 people.

I will do a double check after work and will do the drawing tonight after the 8 PM deadline.
 
What? You seriously lost your job this morning? I'm sorry man.

It sincerely concerns me about the reputation I have created on here when a joke about me getting fired for incompetence immediately the first morning of my new job was so plausible to people that they believed it...

Anyways, three hours left!
 
loving the commentary on the locations on your google doc. Lol

My favorite thing in video games are side missions in which you slowly find journal entries around a haunted house or castle or prison that documents someone's slow descent into madness. I make notes like that on documents I keep sometimes, even when they are just for me, as a recurring inside joke with myself.

That's what the Singapore joke is.

thanks

edit to add pics of my Empress chips (currently have less than 300 total)

Empress $5, $25, $100, $500 (the three full racks are not empress $100s, they are Double Downs)

I've got my desk set up and I'm ready to go. About 30 minutes left to enter.

(Only the chips on the far right are for sale in this thread)

Note: For those unaware, the Virginia governor has issued a stay at home order. I am not 100% sure if the post office will continue to let customers inside and when I will be able to ship to the winner. In the case that I am unable to ship the chips for awhile, I will not ask for payment until it is confirmed that I will be able to get the chips shipped.

Sorry, but my mind went immediately to this.


That literally happened to me. Left work on Fri. Had a nice weekend off with the girlfriend. But I got some weird feeling in my head that I was going to be fired. Like literally nothing I did that day on Fri that I was aware of - I just had this strange feeling. Went in early to chat with some co-workers before starting my shift and sure enough they gave me this look and told me I had to go to HR. They made me sign a bunch of documents and offered me a position in groundskeeping. I said fuck no (nicely).
