Will Paulson Ever Resume Sales to the Home Market? (2 Viewers)

[tranqwillis]

I've been genuinely curious as to why they don't have home sets any longer. The chips would not be RFID, they would have a retired mold, different edge spots/microdotting, and security measures in general.

They would make a serious killing if they reintroduced non-custom set options, I don't understand why lol. Even if they released and sold brand new paulsons for 3$ per chip, they would make sales. If they sold at 2$ per chip, even I would buy a set and I'm broke!

Not very likely.

 

[tranqwillis]

That makes me sad.

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Not very likely.

Obligatory…

@tranqwillis the short answer is likely never. For the long answer I’d search for the topic, there’s a few threads on this with a lot of good discussion out there.

No.

Cost/benefit analysis means they're not interested in the home retail market.

Retail market: Potential large risks (ie. Attempts of fraudsters to use home chip in a casino and resultant reputational harm, etc, etc.) and minimal benefit (pcf members are a very small niche market vs casino market).

Hundreds of personal orders of ~1000 chips vs one casino order of +100,000 chips.

Yup. @ReallyGoodUsername is correct. He's just nicer then me.

This topic has been asked alot, and the past conversations can show you how dynamic that question really is.

But the TLR - Nope. Not gonna happen....

GPI / Paulson actually brags in their advertising to casino owners that they will not (ever) sell to the home market. They say this makes their chips more secure. So, no, I don't think the company in its current form will ever sell to the home market again.

Hahah, this is so true. They would make a killing off of PCF. We would probably have multiple group buys every month.

Unless they lost so many sales to cheap icon and ceramics
And were looking to sell off at least a huge majority of the company to someone who wanted that as his project
Then pretty much no chance

Maybe for the first year
After the hype died off
It would be Pennies to their order sheets

That's true. We would have our dream sets and be done with it lol.

hey we can always keep feeding the spies here ideas
if they see the $20 prices flying around for RPC and SSB and clown chips maybe
they start some new home lines

if they had an eBay store dear god the first year of sales LOFL

One thing most people tend to forget is that even when Paulson did sell to the home market, they only offered a limited color palate and spot options.

So even IF they do, don't expect to be happy with what they offer and IF they do, it would probably be on another non casino mold - like the PAULSON or suits mold.

TLDR: You ain't getting no full color, full spot option, THC mold, customs unless you run some kinda scam (Not like that hasn't happened before though).

 

[CraigT78]

Yes Paulson sells to the home market. You just need to try harder.

Several recent cash grabs NAGB have occurred in the last several years.

 

[Colquhoun]

We could get the THC mold…
They’re certainly not using it anymore.
