Wanted WTB Samurai Palace $5 (1 Viewer)

Looking to buy BCC Samurai Palace $5 chips. Help me finish a set!

IIRC, you had some trouble a while back getting more of these from HPC? I got refunded by Michael after a few weeks wait of not hearing about an order I had placed. Later I found out that this was during the GPI acquisition of BCC. Bad customer service, yes, but I needed more T molds dammit! So I emailed him later and got my chips no problem.

Have you thought about trying him again?

Thx, Rich. Just prior to posting this ad I bought the last 100 from HPC. Hopefully they will match one of the other two colors I have (250 blood red $5's and 200 lighter red, apparently from a different manufacturing run). If I can scrape together 500 of either color, I'll sell the remainder. If I end up having to mix them, I'll be disappointed but probably do it.

I hope you can find those soon courage... And if you do find more racks of the lighter red, put me up for your blood red ones!

Good luck with your search!!

 

[courage]

Thx, CR. In the interest of full disclosure, how many do you have and do you really need them?

Need?!?!?!? What does that mean?!?!?!

My set right now is 100/200/400/80/20... I could bump the red birds by 200 or more... I'm also considering moving the $25s and $100 to my tourney set and replacing them with couple of racks of NCV...

If I had a couple more racks of the $5s I could certainly spare them with you... Less than 400 would be stretching too thinly I think... I'm sure we're on the same page there

The word "need" has no place in this dojo

I think it's only fair we play HU 5/10NL with them to determine final disposition.

Booked!

ps: I don't have the brain power, or the poker acumen, or the gamble streak, or the bank roll, or the track record or the iron balls for that matter to have a $10K+ variance on a heads-up match with the master... That would be a regular Tuesday evening for Guinness though...

Oh, and bummer, I woulda bought your upper denoms. I bought another rack of $25 chips just in case!

 

[courage]

Bump. Still looking for $5's. The new rack of 100 showed up yesterday and is lighter red, so I have 300 of those and 255 of blood red. I'll have to decide whether to mix them or not. It's tilting, but so is not using them. The rack of $25 chips also features a darker purple spot than my other rack. BCC, the crazy ex-girlfriend that was so hot, and also not lol.

Funny, I was about to ask you if you had pictures comparing the two reds... I couldn't find it on CT...When I ordered mine, I asked Michael for the same shade of red (thanks to your post on CT way back then)...

Man, it's a tough call to combine them or not... I think I'd have as hard a decision as you're having... On one hand I wanna say fuck it since I love those chips so much, but on the other, chips this awesome should NOT have this variance... Not being helpful I know...

I think what I would untimely do is to have a smaller cash set with just one of the reds... I'd either keep the other for emergency or I'd let them go, probably the former...

I REALLY hope you can find a few racks... Those chips deserve being showcased at Club Courage!
