My Bahamia cash set has arrived!

After a slight delay on their trip from Germany to the United States, my mint Bahamia cash set has arrived! (thanks to shaboo, who was a great seller by the way).

Here are a few initial pictures of the set. Hopefully I'll be adding to those pictures and get some live stack shots next Thursday when they see their first game.

mint is nice

1,200 chips, $20,000 bank ---> more than enough to run any 1-2 game and most 2-5 games. I love this chip set.

Well done Sir! -=- DrStrange

PS I hope they don't stay mint for long.

Yeah, mint is very nice. I have a set of used 1000 Highway 9 chips (which I love), but I've been looking forward to getting my hands on a set of mint casino chips since I started buying nice chips (which I'll grant you was only a few months ago after I found this site).

Yeah, the bank size is going to be plenty big for the foreseeable future. I actually ended up with almost 1300 chips and a bank of just over 25k (I left out the uneven stacks for that picture). So far our first 7 games of single table 1/1 had total banks of $5025, $3405, $3925, $3370, $4900, $4535, $4580. So we have a long way to go before we'll really make use of all those chips. But add a second table in the future, maybe a shift to 1/2 or 1/3, and you never know...

And don't worry, they won't stay "mint" for long as they're scheduled to go into play this Thursday night (except the $100 chips, I have a feeling they'll stay mint for a while).

I remember seeing you post in the comment section of the ad. I think I even asked the seller if you were still interested as I thought we could potentially split the shipping costs since you live so close. I think by the time I sent him the message you had already decided to pass.

I was originally only going to buy a set of 1000 (200/500/200/100), but decided to just go ahead and buy the remainder of what he had left (about 300 more, excluding the $500 chips).

I wanted to upgrade my tournament set to mint chips but in the end it was the $500's that was the deciding factor. They are nice chips and shaboo's price was in line with the market but I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much. And without the $500's the shipping costs represented a big part of the price. Not sure what I'd have done if we could have split the shipping costs?

Yeah, since I was buying this to use as a cash set, the (expensive) $500 chips were a non-issue. As you mentioned, shaboo's prices (especially the $500 chips) were pretty decent in terms of the market, but certainly I had no need for the $500 chips for a cash game (even the $100 chips will likely never get played, although I really like the look of the $100 chip).
