Welcome to the site.

You will not find much talk about the sort of chips you currently have here as basically no one here is interested in those.

Dig around a bit and be prepared to upgrade, maybe multiple times....lol

I am here-- and i am interested in them.

I am hoping someone bought some as a starter style and is now looking to get rid of.

I was talking to the "only" vendor that i could find who cartied these and they sold HUNDREDS of sets in just CA alone, so i figured what better place to look than a chip forum. Hopefully someone has them lying around and wants to sell.

What do you mean by upgrade several times?-- snarky comment, i guess there's one of you in every forum huh?-- even in a small community such as this... be better son.

Maybe you'll get lucky.... most regulars here won't have chips like that. Just sayin...

Lots of guys come here thinking they are looking for the "best clay chips" out there thinking maybe they would be willing to spend a couple hundred bucks on 600 or 1000 chips or whatever. 1st buy will be chips like what you have for like 5c/chip. Then maybe China clays for 20c/chip or something and after a while on here they upgrade again to ceramics for 30-50 or 60c ea. After getting tired of that, they buy something like some heavily casino used RHC's for maybe $1- $1.50/chip. Then comes new or almost new RHC's for $2 ish/chip. When that doesn't do it any more Then comes a casino used set of THC's for '$3-$5/chip etc and it goes on and on...

There are quite a few on here that have made their way up to sets where the individual chips will sell for $10-$30 a piece and even some where individual chips will sell north of $100 ea.

Not sure what the "be better son" remark is all about....
Sorry if I came off the wrong way..... didn't mean to. This is just the way it is around here...

See, that was better. Appreciate the feedback.

I think the issue was you don't know my background (nor does it need to be disclosed), so you just made an assumption and then made a reccommendation based on that assumption.

Without getting too much into details, i am looking specifically for those chips, what better place than to get some leads than a poker chip forum?

Appreciate the input. Thanks!
 
Appreciate it, as mentioned: i specifically want these chips for a reason. Or rather looking to add a several more racks to the current collection.

I have other premium sets.
You’ll have to post pics of your premium sets.

Good luck finding these specific chips. Hopefully someone has some buried in a closet somewhere for you.

Yup, thats exactly what i hoping for-- i mean close to a thousand sets were sold in the US, hoping someone has some ready for a yardsale or something lol.
 
I guess i should of elaborated. They are sold out there. Lookong for more of the $1, $5, $25s.

Thx tho
I will try to mail the retailer to see if they actually have spare stock of those even if they stated sold out for certain denomination

Chances are extremely Low at here, since most people who came here are looking in getting premium or custom chips

Thanks!

Yeah, im starting to notice that lol... snobby folks. I didn't expect people to talk down on someone's choice in chips without even knowing why they want these chips lol-- my recreation players love these chips! I use the premium chips for the bigger games, but these are fine for casual settings. I didnt think they were as cheap as people are making them out to be (20c/chip 15 years ago when i got em), especially for 18 year old me at the time, spent a paycheck on 2k chip set lol.

Anyhow, yeah trying to reload on the $1s, $5s, $25s. I might even take some $100s (& $10s) off someone's hands.

Thanks again bud

I think if you stick around a while, you'll find it just the opposite...plenty of folks will tell that you should use whatever chips you have, because what really matters is that YOU like the chips you're using.
The comments above were not knocking your chips, rather telling you that you may have trouble locating them because many here have moved to higher tiers of chips. I don't think that's snobbery, but an honest assessment of the crowd, and their current interests.

That said, I hope you find what you're looking for, and I'll keep an eye out should I come across any.
Cheers!

Agree! And even if you don't find what you're looking for stick around and share pictures of your sets and talk to people with a common interest of poker chips! Most people here are nice. Going to scuba in Bonaire and Curacao soon, if you have any advice I'd love it!

Welcome!
 
Post pics for some of us chipaholics while waiting to top up your set, best chance would be reaching out on here, bar what LeLe is doing for you.
Welcome...im in Fremantle Austria.
 
If the only retailer is sold out, the best you'll do for these is to stalk facebook marketplace and eBay. It's a one-in-a-thousand shot that if you put up a wanted ad here that anybody who saw it would have any. It might even be longer odds than that. As you've discovered, you're in a Lexus and Mercedes forum. Some of us have a Pinto hatchback still sitting around in driveable condition, but it's a long shot.
