Chips: 89 | | pharaohs all sold! All sold The Chips: Pharaoh's Club (non-denominated/NCV): 150 Green Sold !Buyer has gone radio silent. 100 Blue SOLD 200 Black SOLD 150 Orange SOLD
The following green $25 Paulson chips that match the Pharaohs: 110 Green $25 James Bond Casino de Isthmus Paulsons - SOLD
50 Green $25 "Trademark" Paulsons SOLD Price So that i can get out of the chip selling biz and leave it to the pros, the remaining green pharaohs chips have been further reduced to $130 for 150 chips - about 86¢ each! -!! (note that most of the others went at 90¢)  Shipping
I can bombproof them for shipping in a plastic wrap/bubble wrap/plastic wrap layered sandwich and get them in a flat rate envelope for $4.60 (including tracking) or do the same with more added padding in a flat rate box for $8.60). If you are in the east, it is possible that the variable rate shipping in a box will be less than the flat rate box. Insurance is your option and should be $2.50-$3.00 . If you want a quick transaction send me $136 for shipping, tracking and insurance - I will cover any overage Payment My paypal addresses are dkluchman@gmail.com for bank account transfers, or kluchman@yahoo.com for cc trasactions (please add 3% for these). I also have accounts at an absurd number of online poker sites as well as Neteller and Firepay, so we could do a "frictionless" transfer that way too. Condition After I made my original post, my case had a little spill on the floor of the back of my car. The spill was not from any height at all (case was on floor at time), it is just that were they were was quite dusty, as such I am cleaning them off and they look fine to me. Because of the jostle, here and there there is some (of the usual) color transfer that happens when new Paulsons rub against each other. As usual it is most noticeable on the dayglo orange edge-spots on the black chips.
If you are a very particular collector type, not intending to use the chips but own them just for collecting purposes, I would not want to sell these to you as they have now had some use (though the edges are all just as square as new - they have not be shuffled at all, and the spill did not result in any chipping etc.). However, if you plan on actually using these chips, i would think they would be indistinguishable form brand new within two or three sessions on the poker table.
Seeing the chips in front of me, it would make little difference to me if I were in your shoes; certainly not so much difference that *I* wouldn't want to buy these at this price (now further reduced!) rather than new NCVs at 30% more. If you want new NCVs, get them for $1.17 at HPC where i got most of mine - the only source for new i think Mike Patton is the best! While I am interested in actually using chips of which i like the design and not so much of a persnickety collector type (..yet..). I appreciate that other folks have other feelings. Update: folks that have received their chips from this lot have been very pleased with condition and thought that i overstated the issues surrounding the spill. General
I love these chips and know i will never come up with something on my own that are as good, but I have decided that I really am that vain and that I need to have my own customized chip and it is too frigging hot outside to face exile by SWMBO ($1 off for anyone who knows that acronym and its reference source)    IMO, is a great very flexible set as it can be used for both tourney (T2000 esp. using standard casino color values) and small stakes cash set (doing the usual cents for dollars color conversion using blues as 10 cents, greens as 25 cents, blacks as $1 and orange as $5).
I bought all of these after the group purchase and most at full retail ($1.10 per chip) so I am looking to just minimize my losses while giving some one here at CT a smokin' great deal.  Contact You can PM me and/or send me email at kluchman @ yahoo.com. Please note that while I am in touch my email most of the time, some of August I will be out of Internet range so may not respond immediately, but I am very concientious and will get back to you ASAP on all messages.

Chips: 196 | | | Re: Set of NCV Pharohs w/some mathcing denominateds, James Bonds and Trademarks. Love the set! I just got a set of 700 NCVs that I sleep with every night. You know, I just happen to be a CPA and I noticed that your quantites don't add up to the totals you quote prices for. You may want to check that over.....Wish I could pick up another 550 (or 650, whichever is right) NCVs....I just can't get enough! Good luck.....OOPS...sorry mods, that what YOU guys are supposed to say! |

These chips are in new condition. Some have been used once in a home game but not by anyone who even knows to try and shuffle them. It is basically a NCV set though I filled it out with some a few $25 Pharaoh's, JB's and TMs that match in color pattern etc (as all Paulson consumer chips do).
The set includes (Pharaoh non-denominated/NCV chips unless noted otherwise):
100 Blue
150 Black
150 Orange
250 Green
50 Green $25 Pharaoh denominated
110 Green $25 Jame Bond Casino de Isthmus Paulsons
50 Green $25 "Trademark" Paulsons
Anyone purchasing all of these can have the 7 extras from a the Pharaoh NCV sample set that I have.
Total 767 Chips.
IMO, is a great combination tourny and small stakes cash set (doing the 100 dollars = 100 cents color conversion using blues as 10 cents, greens as 25 cents, blacks as $1 and orange as $5) AND tourny set using standard casino values.
Purchase the whole lot for $695 and I will include a new oak with brass hardware briefcase style 750++ chip case with oak chips trays. - a hard to find size (the trays actually will hold 810 of these chips and there is lots of storage under wood trays for chards, buttons, more chips, dice, etc) and 10 casino dice and FREE SHIPPING.
I will also sell the 600 pharaoh only chip set for $539 and the 550 NCV only set for $489 with FREE shipping.
Otherwise the Chips are 90 cents plush actual shipping - no handling - in lots of 50.
I will also sell the case separately for $29 plus shipping.
I bought all of these after the group purchase and most at full retail ($1.10 per chip) so I am NOT looking to make money here, just minimize my losses while giving some one here at CT a smokin' great deal.

Chips: 89 | | | Re: Set of NCV Pharaohs w/some matching denominateds, James Bonds and Trademarks. picky picky, jeesh ! lol . Seriously thanks for the catch. I have fixed the totals to what i think is correct, though i am going to have to check them in person this weekend (I am weening myself from sleeping with them every night).
But don't just wish, act! you really need 550 more to make sure you have enough for that big night you know you are going to have. Plus if you want to do a tourney without lots of change making....
Again, thanks for the math work, i did some last minute edits on the fly and had the feeling i had been a little slap dash. Quote: |

No need to convince me that I need a bunch more chips, it's my wife who won't understand. The first 700 I was able to do but another 550 might be a tough sell! I'll work on it though, believe me! |

Chips: 0 | | Re: Update & price drop 78¢ Paulsons! 600 NCV Pharaohs + some JB's &Trademarks. OK, I think you are a little nuts, and I don't really need them, but I might be interested in the whole thing or maybe just the black pharaohs and JB's. Will send pm, but when did you buy these? was it part of the original group buy? |

Chips: 89 | | | Re: Update & price drop 78¢ Paulsons! 600 NCV Pharaohs + some JB's &Trademarks. Nuts? well i just want to sell these quicky so i can get my custom set. I wish i could have both, but it is raining out and the doghouse has a leaky roof... I as i said in my description, i bought these after the group buy mostly from holdempokerchips.com (for $1.10 - $1.20 each i think). I bought them in the Febuary-March time frame I think.
Please PM me to tell me what you want or send email to kluchman@yahoo.com Quote: |
