Paulson's TH&C - Where to Buy?

vtecrcr4 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-26-2006, 04:13 PM

With the "warping" thread started, I'm wary about purchasing my dream tournament set of Paulson's.... I would just like to know where other members have purchased high quality chips at a reputable site/store... If I'm going to spend nearly $300, I want to NOT get stiffed with fakes or other...

So far I have:
Apache Poker Chips $1.00 each
Discount Poker Chips(5stardeal.com) $.99 each
Discountcasinogear.com $.95 each

I don't mind paying $1 each if I'm ensured that they'll be quality chips... ya know??

Here is my Blind Schedule 15 minutes each round:
25/25
25/50
50/100
75/100
100/200 100
200/400 100
300/600 200
400/800 200
500/1000 300
600/1200 300
700/1400 400
800/1600 400
900/1800 500
1000/2000 500

I'm going to give each player the following (2000 in chips)
1000 X 1
500 X 1
100 X 2
25 X 12

Is that a pretty good amount for the my schedule?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

I don't think it will matter where you buy them because they all come from the same place - Trademark poker. They have some kind of "exclusive" arrangement with GBI (the people who own the Paulson brand and manufacture chips under their name) so regardless of which retailer you buy from, the all get there stock from the same single source.

Agreed. You'd be safe with those you listed vtec.

Personally, I have a pretty good e-relationship w/ Josh at Apache and have purchased close to $700 worth of Paulsons over the last year. I probably won't go anywhere else unless it's a GB or private sale here. Good luck!

I'd be sure to give Michael at Holdempokerchips.com a shot. Like everything in life, it doesn't hurt to ask. If you get a price at website "A", but you know website "B" offers the best service, it's certainly worth a bit more for service and worth asking if they will match the price. HPC is second to none with service. Lots of other vendors are great as well, but Michael just seems to go way out of his way to communicate clearly and take care of everything quickly. I love my TH&C chips!

I guess I lied. As UW says, Michael at HPC displays some of the best service around. Most of my other supplies (button, cards etc.) have come from HPC. Fast shipping and always available. Heck, how can a company that has personalized chipco chips as a business card be bad?
