I have also updated this post to include the provenance of this set. Thanks to @justsomedude and his detective skills, we now know the history behind this incredibly rare set! Scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the details!

OK, here we go! It's Wynn season, and that means it's time for a raffle of the Wynn Casino Tournament Holy Grail set! Apache refers to these chips as "the best Tournament chips ever made", or as I prefer to call it; 10 stacks of clay sex. Hey, I gotta recoup some of my investment on these babies, and you know you want them! Who can resist brand new Paulson No Molds from The Wynn Casino? (y) :thumbsup:

I've tried to put together the best of the best for this set. These chips are minty fresh and are a perfect breakdown for a single table tournament with enough chips for color-ups and rebuys. This set includes the full spectrum of Wynn Tourney chips, including the rare T25s - which are so rare that they haven't even been included in most of the other sets that have sold previously!

This set includes 300 total chips, a vintage carrying case, a Wynn dealer button, and a deck of Wynn Casino cards. The breakdown is as follows:

80x - T25s
80x - T100s
80x - T500s
50x - T1000s
10x - T5000s

We will be using the California Pick 3 Daily Lottery numbers to determine the 'Wynner' (http://www.calottery.com/play/draw-games/daily-3). Each ticket will receive number ranges of equal size determined by the total number of tickets sold.

I will be selling tickets/entries at $30 each for this set. Tickets will be sold until 11:59:59 pm Pacific Time (PDT) on Thursday, July 21st or until all slots have been sold out, whichever comes first. A minimum of 60 tickets will need to be sold, with a cap at 85 tickets. If the cap is reached early, numbers will be assigned at that time and the drawing will be held the following day. If the minimum has not been reached prior to the deadline, the deadline will be extended until 60 tickets have been sold, in which case the drawing will be held the following day. If the winning number is an unassigned number, the contest will continue to roll over to the following day's lottery numbers until a winner has been determined.

Contest Rules:

- You may purchase up to 5 tickets/entries.
- Shipping will cost extra and will be insured.
- FedEx or UPS will be used for shipping as the USPS only pretends to insure packages.
- International shipping is ok, but this is a big risk, and the winner assumes all risk!
- The forum time of your posts determines ticket ordering and availability.

Payments can be sent via Bitcoin or PayPal 'Friends & Family'. IF USING PAYPAL, PLEASE ENTER YOUR FORUM USERNAME IN THE 'NOTES' FIELD AND NOTHING ELSE! DO NOT ENTER "RAFFLE" OR "PCF" IN THE NOTES AS THESE WORDS CAN FLAG THE PAYMENT FOR REVIEW IN PAYPAL.

PayPal payments should be sent to: rainmantrail on the gmail domain (the name should say Rocelyn)

If you have not paid for your entries prior to the drawing, you will not receive any numbers and will not be eligible for the prize.

Good luck everyone!!!


***************** WYNN TOURNEY SET PROVENANCE **************************

These chips were special made for the Wynn Las Vegas Casino to be used in a celebrity charity gambling event which they sponsored on May 25, 2006 in New York City. The event was held as a fundraiser for pediatric cancer research. Beyonce Knowles, Heidi Klum, and several other extremely attractive and/or wealthy celebrities were in attendance for this gambling charity event, raising over $400k for the cause!

Thanks again @justsomedude for your stellar Googling skills! (y) :thumbsup:

UUuughh! i'm pretty sure i'm the D-bag that put Wynn raffle int the memo.

To be fair. I was a couple beers deep, and you'd just posted the pot sweetner (sample sets) and i snap called.

Sorry bout that. (not poker sorry)

 

[gopherblue]

Then again, if you're getting dozens and dozens of payments all at once, for a huge profit, maybe suck it up and pay the fee.

 

[ParrotheadMZ]

I will pay when I get home from work. Thanks.

It's OK. I'll get it figured out. We had to send them a scan of my wife's social securtity card, ID, and our marriage certificate. Hopefully that squares things up

My point is that you're bent out of shape about Paypal suspending your account for using F&F, when the reason that we are required to pay via F&F is so you can save a few percent by avoiding the fee. On top of the $8.50 per chip that you're making on chips that only a few days ago cost you ~$4. I'm not sure why that is confusing.




...Boy, no way I'm winning this now....

 

[leo822]

I think the FF is also so you are not generating TONS of income on PPs records. That stuff does get logged and could make potential tax problems. Having your PP frozen is a major pain and sometimes it take MONTHS to get your funds released. I share his bummage.

As far as the pricing...well this is an issue that comes up a lot. He took the risk on a very expensive set and is looking to make it back by flipping some of the set to pay for his remaining. I can't hate on anyone doing that. I too have sold chips at a profit but have also bought chips (especially Mapes) that some would think is highway robbery. I am happy with ALL my purchases because they are what I want and the transaction only has to please me and no one else. If you look online now, Ebay has MANY of these chips from multiple sellers (including a PCF vendor) at over FIFTY DOLLARS a chip. A hefty profit indeed. I was happy to get a full sample set for $60 and while that may be a lot more than he paid...it's way LESS than he could have gotten for them. Just my 2 cents.

You're making assumptions. What I'm talking about doesn't have anything do with F&F. Also, as I stated in an earlier post, I accidentally set up my paypal link from the OP as a non F&F link for the first 60ish transactions before I changed it. So, I've already paid the few % points to PayPal. That's not my concern. What I'm worried about is them flagging my account for using it as a form of gambling (raffles).

PayPal is well known for stealing money from people. I have 5k locked up in there. I don't really want them to take it from me

Anyhow, I just called them and had to send over a scan of my ID, SSN card, utility bills, and marriage certificate lol... I'm hopeful that it will get squared away now.

 

[RainmanTrail]

Perhaps also worth pointing out, is that I've had several thousand dollars locked up on PayPal before for over 6 months!!! Yes, they held my money for 6 months. Not joking. If you've never run into issues with PayPal in the past, consider yourselves fortunate. There are numerous websites dedicated to issues with PayPal. Hell, there's even a forum which is even larger than this one, paypalsucks.com, where there are thousands and thousands of horror stories.

 

[ParrotheadMZ]

So im i good to make a payment or is your PP on lock down?

Ya, you can pay. They didn't actually lock me out, they just "limited" me, whatever that meant. I think it's resolved now though after talking to the customer service guy on the phone and sending over our sensitive documents. Or so he said it would be

I'm going to send you $.01 and put "RAFFLE GAMBLING NO FEE PCF" in the memo just to be an asshole.

Im not in for a raffle raffle, but I'm in for fantasy Wynn raffle if anyone wants to draft runners. Raffles are obviously a skill game and I think I can get an edge in the draft.
