Samples Top hat and cane & CDI (2 Viewers)

[Brantof]

Hi, i just ran across some samples of Paulson's Top hat and cane & Casino de isthmus and i was wandering how much they are worth.
There are 7 chips per sample set, CDI has 0.5, 1, 5, 25, 100, 500, 1000 while the other one has 1, 5, 25, 100, 500, 1000, 5000.

Depends which version of the CDIs, you got photos?

I've got the images from the italian site where i found them

 

[Eriks]

I'm bad at valuing singles/samples but in a full set those are like $3-4 per chip. There is no 5k chip in that line though

 

[Eriks]

There are plaques though, is that what you have?

currently i don't have any of those chips, i came across a site here in italy that sells CDI and top hat and cane for 1.35€/chip (1.39USD), so a sample set is only 9.45€ (9,76 USD)

 

[Eriks]

Beware, that is most likely a scam. Those chips are discontinued

 

[Brantof]

That site was suggested to me in an italian poker forum and lots of people bought chips or cards there with positive feedbacks, to me it seems a legit site

 

[Eriks]

They haven't been sold retail since 2015 and if anyone still have them, €1.35 is ridiculously cheap. It's your money but I wouldn't do it.

 

[Eriks]

Care to share the link?

Buy them all and sell them here

 

[Eriks]

Yeah, if it's legit you'd be trippling your money

 

[BearMetal]

I honestly don't see how it's not a scam.

@Brantof are all the chips roughly the same price? Even the higher denomination ones?

Are there any limits on how many you can buy? Like if they only have a single sample set... Then maybe, but there's no way that you can just buy racks of those chips from them.

 

[Colquhoun]

Weren't there some "Paulson Chips" counterfeit chips shown here a while back? I wonder if these are knockoffs.
I would proceed with caution.

obviously i'm not gonna try with hundreds of euros, maybe 10-15€ just to try, if it is a scam is not a problem, it's just 10 bucks and i canpay with paypal so i'm gonna have my money back

 

[Brantof]

Buy them all and sell them here

that was my idea, i was asking the price for this reason

Go ahead, I'm rooting for you but will be very surprised if you actually receive any (correct) chips

every single one of the is 1.35€, there are no limits both in minimum or maximum amount

they are advertised as "authentics" but there only one way to be sure

If I was a betting man, which I'm definitely not and absolutely abhor gambling and everything to do with it, then I would put real money on this being a scam. I just cannot possibly see how there are Paulson CDI chips out there at that price, with unlimited quantities, from a random vendor.

But I agree, if you actually can obtain them then you can flip them here for like 3 to 4 times that value.

... But it's a scam. Just make sure that if you decide to place a purchase, that you do so using forms of payment that will absolutely have your back when nothing arrives or when a product arrived that is not what you purchased.

Go for the higher denoms the. The $1000 will have a higher resale price than other denoms.

they accept both paypal and Amex, normally scam sites don't accept those because in 24h i have my money back and they don't get anything

I think i'll just put everything on sale in the classifieds and when someone buys from me i buy from the site, obviously if get scammed and i don't have the correct product i'm gonna givethe money back to the person that bought from me. to avoid this kind of problems i'm going to do a test before opening he thread in the clasfieds

Oh I definitely would not do that. If you do not have chips in your hands, do not post a classified ad.

That is a pretty scummy idea. Either take the risc or don't.

Oh, I very much do not like that set up considering how likely it is this is a scam. 99% likely you won't be able to fill any of the orders and it will be a complete mess.

You should use your own money at your own risk to buy from the website first. If it works you'll make money, but its likely you are getting scammed. Don't wanna push that risk onto other unknowing PCF members.

You mean you're going to try to sell before you even recieve and confirm it's the real deal?? Sorry, but you sell precisely zero sample sets that way
