It's a sad day, but I'm selling my first "nice" poker chip set (that replaced my interlocking Bicycle chips)... basically so I can afford more chips.

Presenting, my hot-stamped Nexgen "Lucky Bee" tournament chips!!

Most of the chips can be seen in action at CPT Photo Gallery - Contents. I'll post pics of all the chips racked or stacked if someone wants (which I've never quite taken).

Here's a teaser:



(note that some pictures in the linked site show $1 (white), $2 (yellow), and $10 (blue) chips, which are not included here)

Here's the breakdown:

300 x $5 (red)
300 x $25 (green)
300 x $100 (black)
100 x $500 (purple)
50 x $1000 (yellow)
-------------------------
1050 chips = $139,000

Asking $200 US + actual shipping for these 1050 chips (that's 19¢/chip for a big set of hot-stamps!).
I'm also open to offers (see post #5 for a smaller breakdown). Local pick-up available in downtown Toronto. I'll accept Paypal (debit only; no credit cards), money order, or cash. I'll also consider P* transfer... PM me.

Here's a non-exhaustive list of the multi-table tourneys you can run with these (not to mention single-table T1000-T10,000s):

• 25-player T1000 re-buy tournament with full "clean" colour-ups!
  • (27 starting chips each: 10-10-7-0-0)
• 15-player T2000 re-buy tournament with "clean" colour-ups (leaving some $500s in play at end-game)!
  • (47 starting chips each: 20-16-10-1-0)
• 20-player T2000 freeze-out tournament with full colour-ups!
  
  • (36 starting chips each: 15-13-6-2-0)
• 25-player T2000 freeze-out tournament with full "clean" colour-ups!
  • (29 starting chips each: 10-10-7-2-0)
• 30-player T1000 re-buy tournament with colour-ups (5s sold to big-stack and coloured directly to 100s)!
  • (27 starting chips each: 10-10-7-0-0)
• 30-player T1500 freeze-out with "dirty" colour-ups (5s sold to big-stack and coloured directly to 100s)!
  • (28 starting chips each: 10-10-7-1-0)

Only a handful of the yellow $1000s have been used on three occasions (see CPT9, CPT11, and CPT12 photos) - they are new or like new. In fact, I just got them a few months ago, along with some of the $25s and $100s. The others have been used gently once-a-month for about 18 months. They are in terrific shape; most still look and feel new. The only noticeable damage on any of the chips occurred during the hot-stamping process. This means that some of the chips (most notably about half of the green $25s) have a scratch on the edge and/or stress marks on the faces (circular spots of discoloration).

I got them from 5stardeal using their gold $ denom hot-stamps (same on both sides), so you can always add on to this set as long as they have Nexgen "Bees" in stock (but they'll cost you closer to 27¢/chip). This is especially a good deal for Canucks, as I've already paid UPS and the Canadian government over $150 in brokerage/taxes importing these chips. I don't think you can get chips hot-stamped domestically inside Canada, and definitely not at this price.

*UPDATE* Sold!

(note that the yellow chips seen in some pictures are $2, which are not included here; nor are the white $1s or blue $10s)

Here's the breakdown:

300 x $5 (red)
300 x $25 (green)
300 x $100 (black)
100 x $500 (purple)
50 x $1000 (yellow)
-------------------------
1050 chips = $139,000

Asking $315 Canadian (or $265 US) + actual shipping. I'd rather not break the set down, as it's pretty well balanced just like this (unless you wanted exactly half or something). Local pick-up available in downtown Toronto. I'll accept Paypal (debit only; no credit cards), money order, or cash. I'll also consider P* transfer... PM me.

Here's a non-exhaustive list of the multi-table tourneys you can run with these (not to mention single-table T1000-T10,000s):

25-player T1000 with 25 re-buys and full "clean" colour-ups! (27 starting chips each)


15-player T2000 with 15 re-buys and "clean" colour-ups (leaving some $500s in play)! (47 starting chips each)


20-player T2000 freeze-out with full colour-ups! (36 starting chips each)


25-player T2000 freeze-out with full "clean" colour-ups!

(I thought I only had 250 of the $100s when I made these charts)

Only a handful of the yellow $1000s were used once (see CPT9 photos) - they are new or like new. In fact, I just got them a couple months ago, along with some of the $25s and $100s. The others have been used gently once-a-month for about 18 months. They are in terrific shape; most still look and feel new. The only noticable damage on any of the chips occurred during the hot-stamping process. This means that some of the chips (most notably about half of the green $25s) have a scratch on the edge and/or stress marks on the faces (circular spots of discoloration).

I don't think you can get chips hot-stamped within Canada, and definitely not at this price.

BONUS: I have at least 20 spare green $25s and 50 BLUE $100s (not included in the totals above) that I'll toss in for free. The blue $100s could be used as bounty chips or whatever else you can think of; the green $25s could make colour-ups easier (in the 20-player T2000 breakdown posted above - or if you want to try a 30-player T1000 with starting stacks of 10-10-7!).

GL Sir!

Bump, with edit:

Lowered asking price!
Added new pics (action at last week's game)!
Updated usage (yep; used at last week's game...)
Corrected bonus (sorry; discovered that my "spare" $25's are misprints; only have the denom on one side).

[jdunford]

Lowered price.

Now 0.20¢ USD per chip + shipping for hot-stamped Nexgens! Great for big (20-30 player) tourneys! Stud/HORSE-friendly (lots of 5s for antes)!

Get 'em before they're gone!

I can't go lower than 20¢ per chip. New un-stamped Nexgens are > 16¢ each at the cheapest place I know of (DCG), and you can't get them hot-stamped for 20¢ each ANYWHERE!!! (not to mention the fees I've paid getting them into Canada - this is a ridiculously good deal for my fellow Canadians).

Maybe nobody needs affordable chips for big tournaments these days...

How about an 800 chip tourney set:

200 x $5
250 x $25
200 x $100
100 x $500
50 x $1000
-------------
800 chips = $127,250 face value

That's perfect for a 10-player T5000 freeze-out with starting stacks of

16 x $25
16 x $100
6 x $500

with clean colour-ups to $1000s. Plus you've got the flexibility of having T5000 stud-type games (HORSE anyone?) requiring antes... could start with deep T5000 stacks of

20 x $5
16 x $25
15 x $100
6 x $500

And you can still easily handle 20-player T1000 NLHE rebuy tournaments, with starting stacks of

10 x $5
10 x $25
7 x $100

with clean colour-ups and 30 rebuys... or make it a T2000 by adding 2 x $500 to those stacks (no rebuys), and you still have chips for each player to have a 1000-chip add-on at the break...

Lots of options with this 800-chip set.
Asking $160 USD (20¢/chip) + shipping!

(or you can still get the whole 1050 chips for 19¢/chip as in the OP, good for up to 30 players)

Babumpabump.

[jdunford]

Lowered price... even more!

Besides, I just wanted to show Clipper that there are lots of super-duper-high-quality chips available in M2M these days...

... or at least affordable chips for applications that don't call for chips worth $2-a-piece.

You can always tell a Canadian poker game...Tim Hortons on the table instead of Beer!!!

LOL. Not "instead", just "in addition to":

[cdnmoose]

These are nice chips but the problem is, most people don't use 5's in tourney's so you are really paying $200 for 750 useable chips.
