Viking on board (1 Viewer)

Hi!

Found this site by watching Hobbyphilic's youtube videos, and generally searching for places for buying poker chips that are not currently sold by manufactures anymore. More specifically I'm interested in some good quality Paulson poker chips, probably landing on the WTHC ones. Yeah, I'll be in for a big hit on my bankroll it seems. Hopefully though, the chips will stay valuable for a long time, while I enjoy using them

I'm living in Oslo, Norway, work in IT, and have not played a lot of poker in my life. Recently though, that has changed and I'm on a steep learning curve, and just love to learn and progress my skills to become a good player. Along with that goes replacing my cheap plastic chips with some high quality clay ones to get the right atmosphere for my home games.

Many of you might also not know this, but Norway is super strict on gambling. There are no casinos here, and playing poker for money has not been allowed.. until recently. Now it is allowed to play for money, but only up to a total of up to about $1000 for each game. Still, not even close to having casinos, but it's an improvement.

Well, looking forward to getting to know you guys, and find a good deal for buying chips!

Best regards, T

Welcome! I like the fact that you are stepping right up to big chips and skipping over the various levels of China Clays, CPCs, and RHCs like I did to rationalize my chips before I landed on WTHCs. I just got into WTHCs and they are amazing. You just missed a couple sales that came up in the past few weeks but there are plenty more out there!

Hello and welcome

 

[InFrontAA]

Thanks guys for kind welcoming words! I just saw that a few deals had been done here lately for WTHC, and I was just a bit too late in. However, I managed to grab some 100's in the end here now, so I have a start to my set! Can't wait to receive them, have a good close up look, feel them, shuffle them.. Still, seems like it will be some while before I will play poker with them, since I need 1s, 5s and 25s as well before it's a playable set. Hopefully it will not be too long. In the meantime, there's plenty of interesting reading to do here on the forum

Are there any other sources than this forum where I could possibly find these poker chips for sale? I've seen them on eBay, but they are sold in very small quantities with ridiculous prices.

Also, is it possible to subscribe to new ads here with "keywords"? Or is the best option to look through new ads every day?

you can create a “wanted” ad. Otherwise the best bet is to subscribe to the classified thread and be patient. Those chips come up for sale periodically. Good luck!

Welcome! Glad to see you're coming to this site with no illusions about how much it can cost. That being said, I have only been here a few months and it's so much fun.

Hi and welcome InFrontAA!

The legendary Chiptalk site having been closed, there is to my knowledge, no other sales site dedicated to chips. There are some national sites, but whose offers are rare. So apart from eBay and local classifieds, there is only PCF.

 

[InFrontAA]

Thanks again for welcome greetings, such a nice group of people!

@Highli99 : Will definitely create a "wanted ad", but I think I have to wait. I have to write 10 posts it seems before I will be allowed to do so. And then I hope I get lucky to find some offers with the right quality and price.

@Eloe2000 : Also, thanks for the tip on @Suited Connector 's WTHC 1's. They looked in great shape and I would have loved to buy them. I tried to reach out to him, with no luck unfortunately.

I've started reading a bit now, and it's impressive what people do here. I read about @chipjoker 's lit rail poker table, looks great, and awesome that he shares how to build it. It's also impressive to see people's chip collections, @toad94 's Huntley Lodge Resort and the chips in The Cedar Room is amazing! Inspiring stuff for sure!

Quick edit on the previous post, it was @StackemHigh that was selling the WTHC 1's.

Welcome! You've come to the right place for fine quality chips! We have a decent group of EU members too so that may help on the shipping costs when you find the set you want.
