Do not faint when you see the price because it is high. There you've been warned.
I'm finally going to do it. I love 'em but I need (ok want) some denoms and am working on a top to bottom custom order from TRK (I'll be seeing if anyone wants in on a group buy latter). I was going to put these right up on eBay and let people duke it out, but thought I'd offer them here first, not the least because folks would know what these are and I might be able to off load them quicker. If there's no interest they'll still go to eBay. If someone really wants them but owing to the high ticket price would feel better about conducting the business through eBay and I can set up a sale there with a buy it now option , but I'm going to add the eBay and/or Paypal, etc. costs to the sale.
Can't justify having two full clay sets so here goes:
Who: Me the nortious MeridianFC
What:
1000 Paulson Top Hat & Cane chips, edge spotted, hot stamped with a big "K" (in Pualson paralance they call it a "Large K"). These chips are 8 years old but in excellent, and I mean excellent, condition. The edges are still sharp. They were ordred in two batches, the last one directly from Paulson back when you could do that. I still have some, maybe even all of the original Paulson cardboard boxes they came in. I know this type of thing excites some people. Breakdown :
350 Mustard
350 Red
225 Green
75 Blue
I can't even begin to tell you what the correct term for the colors on the spots are. Those familiar with the older TH&C fantasy and home chips have probably seen them before. Sorry about the quality of photos but my skills there are slightly below my poker skill which to be honest ain't that good either. I can take more photos, do more scans, what have you. In fact I expect anyone interested to demand more/better photos.
Where: Washington, DC. If you're withing reasonable distance of DC (Baltimore, Richmond, etc.) I'll bring 'em to you. In addition of you're remotely local you can come by and look at 'em. Else it'll be some sort of registered FedEx or UPS ground w/mandaory insurance. Added to the price, natch.
Why? See above
When In the next couple of weeks. I'm actually in no hurry.
How We can do Paypal, if you're remotely in the area I can bring 'em to you and we can do money order, cashiers check, etc. Otherwise we can figure out something we're both comfortable with since this is fuckload of $$$.
I want to sell this as one set. I suppose if two of you get together you could split it how you like, but I want to make one sale to one person. If you want to turn around and sell this on eBay it's fine by me.
I'm looking for $2,000.00 but we can talk. I know that's a shitload of money but anyone can look on eBay and see what these go for, and they are great chips. They are only hotstamped but on the other hand this is complete set of 1000 non denoms actual Top Hat & Cane (which some folks seem to really desire) and I've not seen one like it in yonks. And before you ask, yes $2 a chip is a lot of money, maybe even obscene, but it's what the chips mean to me + what the market will bear = well....er...there you have it.
If you make things easy on me we can negotiate on the price/delivery/ etc.
As mentioned above if no one's interested I'll just sell 'em on eBay.
Any questions (other than why I'm a money grubbing ******* which is answered above)?
