500 is the largest number of these chips that can be safely accumulated in one place or you reach Fugly critical mass and the universe explodes.

It's dishonest or at best uninformed to call them rare (I've even seen "EXTREMELY RARE") but anyone can and should have the legal right to charge whatever they want IMO.

Lol! Good for a great laugh. Dude is living on Mars where there are no other poker chips available!
A free market requires free will - and true information, which is the issue here. These must be ensured by law.
Claiming that a product has properties it doesn't is fraud and spreading misinformation among the public.
Nobody can be an expert in everything.

The definition of "rare" though means essentially, something not common. Even though they're always offered in some quantity on eBay, I doubt legally (any judge would even hear the case) you could prove that they are not "not common".
This.
Sure, it's a less clear case than e.g. someone selling overpriced miraculous "cancer-fighting" mints, which the big pharmaceutical corporations won't produce for some obscure reason, but still...
For what it's worth, I messaged the seller as well.
IMO, he's either completely delusional, or just playing dumb with those who have a clue what these chips are actually worth.

Everytime I see one of @Chipsdealers auctions on eBay...
I mean, if people are willing to pay those inflated prices, so be it. It doesn't make it any less annoying though.
Still, this @doggydoodoo guy makes @chipsdealer look like a saint by comparison.

I would expect chipsdealer to up his prices to match these soon, can't be selling the best collection of poker chips on eBay for pennies on the dollar after all.
Have we figured out who chips dealer is? Is he a member here? Or the other forum? Or is he just a Vegas turd buying from spinettis and flipping there product on eBay?

Say what you will, but if this clown actually sells for that price, my mint Paulson Classics will be up there for $14,999 and I won’t be the first person from here by that time
Actually talked to him on the phone today. His name is Jack and sounded as if he had an Asian accent. He said he mostly collects chips as a hobby. Said he plays in New York with a group of ten guys. Not sure how true it all is, but that's the story I got. Operates under the business name Seashell Jewelry Corp and said he runs other eBay businesses as a full time gig.

Buyer - beware. Seller - be aware.
I'm not sure that he his a member here, and if he is a member he's never come out an said who he is.
Are you referring to chipsdealer?

Strange. Then why is he listing in Canadian dollars?

Why wait. Put them out there at a crazy high price you would gladly sell them for, but way below his price. I'd like to see his reaction if several other of these "rare" sets showed up at a much lower price.
Are you talking chipsdealer? Maybe he in person is a decent guy but to me once you start listing Paulson Elites for 3x what they cost (and can be bought by anyone in unlimited quantities) “decent” is out the window.

@allforcharity yes, referring to seller:chipsdealer on eBay (https://ebay.com/usr/chipsdealer). I show him listed as New York, New York.

Oh, nevermind, I was referring to the OP Paulson Classics doggydoo dealer, or whatever his name is.

I see that he removed the "Top Hat & Cane" from the ad title.

Speaking of which, if one were to be fair both on buying and selling side, what do you guys think the $/chip is for the classics?

IMO- I'd say around $2.5/chip.....I've seen some just under $2 (rarely) and I've seen some over $4.

I’d be willing to be fair price but the ones on eBay just don’t seem to understand the word fair. They’re just being snarky about how incredibly rare they are and that they’ll eventually sell for asking. With that said, if anybody out there has a sizeable 800+ tourney set of Classics, let me know and I’m willing to make an immediate purchase for the right price.

Good luck. you might want to post a "Wanted" add on here. I have a 1000 piece set of classics. I can't imagine parting with mine since it was my first set. I got them brand new from the factory after doing TONS of research on line on the best chips possible - many years ago. I had no idea that any forums (like chiptalk, etc) ever existed. I paid about $1/chip for them and my friends thought that I was nuts. of course they always compliment how much they like them when we play. again, Good luck with your hunt.

I’ll give it a shot and see what I can find. Was just about to post the wanted ad.

$2-3 per. If it's $3, they better be f****in NEAR MINT condition. That's what I would consider fair.
Of course, I don't like the look of the Classics myself, would rather chase WTHC or something else, like CDIs.
i believe @luv2breformed was selling a bunch at a good price last month. not sure if they sold
