Paulson starburst set (1 Viewer)

[Twholmes]

these chips have been collecting dust for years don’t have any knowledge on poker chips people told me to post on here to get a value on them thanks

Welcome! Starbursts are pretty common and they look well loved, but they're world's better than most of the cheap crap people play with. People will pay atleast 75 cents a chip but probably more, would love better pictures. Usually see these for +$1/chip.

 

[Twholmes]

My camera sucks but here are some more

Generally depends on condition. If they are excellent condition then $1-2 per chip, less for common colours and more for uncommon ones (that are in demand).

What colors are uncommon

 

[TheWhat]

I'd be interested in up to 120 of the Purple color.

What colors are uncommon

Mostly anything that's not white, red, green, or black.

Hey one of them was me!! You probably got some offers for the chips from the fb post.

You gotta do some minimum things to get access to classifieds. Certain number of posts or you can pay a supporter donation to access them quicker.

Good idea is get a count for each color and, if possible, they all could use a bath in warm water and dawn and some cleaning with toothbrush and magic eraser.

Once you get a good count and clean em up they’ll be ready to post.

They do look quite beat up though. The more use they’ve seen the less you’ll get. It’s looking like under a $1/chip for most of these.

Not ready to sell them just yet was curious what the demand was for them if I were to sell I’d like to sell as a group. Did not realize there is such a market for poker chips! Just by browsing the classifieds.

From my math looks to be around 100 per row give or take. This set is very playable and has a pink for a frac if I’m not mistaken (I’m colorblind..) along with the classic color scheme:

$1=white
$5=red or idk what color your chip is
$25=green

With the varying condition of chips you got here I could see this set going for $1,300-$1,575. The better the shape of the chips and the starburst stamp, the higher per chip.

Of course you gotta get these bad boys cleaned up and looking proper before any true analysis can take place. And we need a color guy who can tell us the colors. I can’t figure it out and these chips are too dusty for me to look at anymore.

You’ll be surprised how well they look after the cleaning.

Light magic eraser action will get off anything toothbrush won’t. Sometimes toothbrush doesn’t work and it’s all magic eraser.

Grab 5 clean ones and hold them together to clean the edges with magic eraser.

This is gonna take a while

It won't really effect your resale value, if you are selling; so could save yourself the work. End of the day they are used, non mint.

 

[allforcharity]

Just sell them as is. Let the buyer do the cleaning. It'll save you a lot of trouble.
