Price drop on #3 - now $45 shipped CONUS
EVERYTHING IS SPOKEN FOR EXCEPT #3, THE EXTREMELY RARE, ANCIENT, GORGEOUS GENUINE LEATHER LOWE CASE.

I’ve got some cool old cases for sale. These things are expensive to ship, sorry. I’m pricing them as CONUS shipped - that means they’ll go anywhere a USPS flat rate box will go, for that price. If you’re outside the US, we can try to figure it out, but honestly, I’ll probably default to US buyers, just for ease.

1) 400 chip Paulson case - PENDING
As you can see, this seems to be a genuine Paulson store case - each row hold 50 mint Paulsons snugly. This case has the nice solid-feeling plastic base that I associate with “real” Paulson cases.
$60 shipped CONUS, PayPal ff

3) 400 (396) chip Leather Lowe case
This is a beauty. You see these old Lowe brand chip cases on eBay quite a bit, though the 200 and 300 count cases are much more common, abd they’re almost always some kind of plastic - rarely do you see a genuine leather one.
These trays will only hold 24 mint Paulsons per row - obviously the more worn your chips, the better odds you have of jamming 100 in there. Most ceramics would probably go 100.
Two of the trays are damaged - one, which I have elastics around, probably just needs some wood glue to get the bottom stuck back on completely. The other, as you can see, has had a huge “splinter” knocked out. But I have the splinter, and you can probably glue that back on. And as you can see, the contact paper whatever, lining the bottom storage compartment, is a little wrinkled/rumpled. What do you want for a case that’s this old?

4) Faux Paulson case 500? - PENDING
I call this a faux Paulson case because even though it looks like the others, it has a thinner plastic insert, which holds 51 mint Paulsons per row.
Passing this one along for the same deal I got from @kaimat -essentially free - $20 shipped CONUS, PayPal ff

Price on case #2?

I'll take it if free :LOL: :laugh:
 
What’s the cost on the 500 chip Paulson? I’ll take that one if similar to the 400
 
Re: the Lowe’s case:

These cases are dead easy to refurb. No special skills needed. If you have a kitchen knife, sandpaper, wood glue and a hand saw, and are willing to spend just a couple bucks, this can be made as good as new in an evening.

The wooden trays typically come apart easily and with a little wood glue are as good as new. Replacing the broken bottom with a new piece of wood cut to size is similarly easy.

contact paper typically comes right off in one piece, replace with felt from a craft store.

I even took the bottoms off one set of racks and sanded the inside ends to make it fit 25 of my chips instead of 24, using nothing more than 80-grit sandpaper and a piece of wood cut to the width of a chip. YMMV on that part, depends on your chips.

Note there is room in the case under the racks to carry a couple of decks of cards, dealer button, cash envelope, etc. I use scrap wood cut to fit and glued in place in the bottom so everything has a snug compartment of its own.
 
Yeah no, wow, it says $71.05. That’s crazy. There are A LOT of places in Canada that are a lot closer to me than half the USA
Yeah, I think it's partly a Canada Post thing. Domestic US shipping is way cheaper than domestic Canadian shipping. And I mean, that makes sense, Canada is bigger, and most of it is pretty empty population wise. I think the US is probably 15-20 times denser, so Canada Post has to have a larger distribution network with a much lower demand.
