OK gang the group buy chips finally showed up. There were more than expected and the price changed some. Basically, to get more sets together I purchased another big set holders chips at a somewhat larger price. By merging the sale I was able to get more 100s which are getting scarce, Spinetti's is selling them for $7 each.
Liftapint originally got me started down this path about doing a full buy out several months ago, so I gave her first shot. She picked up a lot of chips from the group buy. I'll let her go over those details if she wants to share them. I built my set out from my personal chips and added some to the group buy to make some additional playable sets for this group buy.
Here is the breakdown of the sets. There are 5 sets available. Here is the breakdown
Ones 100
Fives 200
twenty-fives 80
Hundo 20
Total 400 Chips for $805 shipped CONUS. That's $1.86 per chip!
Since the interest thread took a sharp right into the wall I've changing the way people qualify for chips. To give more people a chance to see this ad, and express interest, I'll be doing a lottery system. All potential buyers will get a number. Sunday I will randomize all the numbers and the five sets will be assigned to the top five randomized numbers.
Here is how itawill work...
If you would like a set please do the following:
1. Post "Give me a number" or something similar.
2. You will get a number.
3. Be prepared to complete the sale by PayPal by Tuesday Dec 1st. If your number is selected
Condition of the chips
The $1s very from used to very good condition.
Some of these chips have wrinkles in the inlay. I'd say it's about 15% of them. It's as if a batch didn't get fused correctly. They don't seem to be at risk for coming off. Some have gone through an ultrasonic bath and agitation process and none have come off.
All the chips in this group of photos have the wrinkle. Only the 1s have any wrinkle.
The Fives have considerable casino wear and are pretty dirty. They fit 21 to a rack.
Twenty-Fives have seen some play but are in some good condition.
Hundos are great and have lots of '60s dust.
I've taken a lot of these chips to @courage to be ultrasonically cleaned and oiled. The results are FANTASTIC. I sent him the most roached out rack of 5s I could find and some blacks to clean up. He will clean, oil and ship your chips $100. If you get the Courage Clean package I will take your set down to him and he will ship the chips to you. This will save you round trip shipping charge.
