Not Mine Someone save these Desert Oasis chips, please! (1 Viewer)

[Psypher1000]

This is a pretty darn good price for these chips ($235 shipped from France is a steal, IMO). Someone please save me from myself, because I'm likely to buy them at that price, and if I buy them, I'm only going to ask @Gear to mill them and create inlays for me. And these are too pretty for that!

So please...save these chips!

Uh...what chips are we talking about?

 

[TheBigTater]

I would but I already have a couple of racks of these. Damn sexy HS's. :

Can't say I'd want to see them milled, they are practically perfect, but not going to judge you for it.

I have an uncirculated rack of these, that i have absolutely no use for, but they are so freakin gorgeous in person that i can't sell them.

$235 for sure is a GREAT price.

I do have a hot stamp mixed cash set they might work with.. Fine.. this is the year they get used !! (or sold)

DON'T Mill those beauties. Might be a great price now, but I should have jumped when they were cheaper.

Psypher, why it is a steal for this price? You think is too expensive?

 

[BiGGyT]

I have a used rack if you feel you need to mill one.

A steal means a good price. Like the buyer is almost stealing them.

I'm confused about why it's a steal, because it's not a Buy it Now. Is it that strong of a possibility that these will sell with just the one bid?

 

[TheBigTater]

Compared to what the same chip has sold for in the past, those of us that like HS chips might considered this price to be a steal. If you don't like HS's then probably not.

There was a large bidding war when these chips first hit the market, the first racks went for well north of 3 bills. Lately racks of these listed have gone unsold for those same prices and are beginning to fall. If you like HS's sets and want a $20 chips for cash games (which are not exactly widely available, especially in mint condition) then the price is pretty good.

ITs a steal if there are no more bids. IF there is a bidding war and price goes way up. then they become a great looking chip at current market prices (whatever someone is willing to pay)

Oh, not at all! I think the price is very good, and I will be placing a bid before the auction is over.

Not sure. The chips have been available for a while at higher prices and haven't sold. I'm saying that $235 out the door is worthy of at least a starting bid from me, and the reason I say that is...

It's not that I have a compulsion to mill casino chips - that's not it at all! I have a set of spotted, hot-stamped chips I've been collecting with the intent to mill them and have custom inlays created. These would make a fine addition to that set. It's not ideal - I'd prefer a lighter grey or green, as well as another rack of the redbirds - but it's plenty serviceable, and a bit of a rarity to have a whole set of them. The only other spotted set of Paulson's that I know of which has been converted from hotstamps to a custom inlay is over in France. I'm even considering having @Gear do shaped inlays for these - something I'm not sure GPI even offers to casinos any more (since I haven't seen any recent chips produced with them).

I have a used rack if you feel you need to mill one.

Please hit me with a PM. I may be interested depending on condition. I don't need them to be uncirculated, just really really good condition.

 

[Psypher1000]

And they're mine. Both happy and sad right now.
