Nice chips bro! I really need to pick up a set of the TR King chips. Do you think the white will wear off? An awesome deal regardless!

I emailed TRKing about the Casbah chips after I had seen them dissaper from apache's site and he told me about the offer. It was $.25/chip so I got a set of 500 for $125+shipping! He had like 9000 of them so I'm sure there's a ton left.
Posted Wed Nov 24, 2004 12:53 pm GMT by PaulsonChips
Just got a set of 1000!
THANKS!

I live in California so its about 20 miles from me. I am going there RIGHT NOW to pick them up!

I am also ordering a set of 1000 as we speak.
Great deal, thanks for the info!

That's funny! I somehow thought he was in Vegas until you mentioned it -- I work downtown. I looked him up on mapquest and he's 1.2 miles from me! I could walk there!

I just tried to get some, he said he had .50 and $1 also. Too bad those four dont make a very good set. Bummer!

Wow, I'm pretty pumped I got my order in in time then - and he is shipping them today! These will make a perfect tournament set until I figure out what I am going to do for edge-spot/inlay chips.
Thanks again for the heads up on these!

home depot. Next to the WD40. 2-4 bucks a can depending on size. Dont use too much, a couple of drops will cure 100 chips.
They look BRAND NEW after.

Poker chips are going to put me in debt...Just ordered 500 of these from TRKing.
I was just getting ready to ask the same question about the 3 in 1 oil. Do you just put a few drops on the chip then wipe clean with a rag??
I went with 320 Black and 180 White chips.
Thanks everyone for the info on this great deal.
The man was great to deal with and I suggest getting these chips to anyone who wants a great chip at a great price! It was funny because on the phone he said..."I don't know what happened, I've had these for awhile and then all of a sudden sold 1000's today...Must have been on a message board or something"
Posted Wed Nov 24, 2004 6:10 pm GMT by slowplayray
Solid - thanks for the tip.
Any chance you could post some pics of the $0.50s and $1s? I am thinking of grabbing a few, just curious how they look...no biggie though.

Yeah, I called this morning and mentioned I heard about it on the board. I must have gotten the last of the $5 chips:
100 .25
80 $5 (all he had left by the time I called)
270 $1
50 $500
It's a playable set, probably wont hold up to inflation though. I would have gotten more $500 chips but they're white. Still might call him back and get more. Plenty of .25, $1, and $500's left. Anyone that still wanted some could get .25 $1 and use $500 for $5 and it's still a playable set. You sure can't beat the price on these!!

Posted Wed Nov 24, 2004 7:22 pm GMT by Guest
He told me they were .25 and $1, yellow and blue respectively. Pictures of the chips can be found at http://www.trking.com/chip.html. I think all of their chips are from the same molds, Small crown just that some have spots and inlays at an additional cost. I was also quoted $80/1000 for the stock Kings Crown chips with inlays and edge spots. They're also the same company that made the chips for the Kings Crown Tally-Ho in Vegas back in '64. The appearance of the stock chip is close to, but not the same as the real chips that were made for the Kings Crown (edge spots and inlays are different.) http://www.ccgtcc.com/fantasy/kingscrown.htm

Just put a tiny bit on a corner of the cloth and rub clockwise, then counterclockwise over and over until its clean, should clean fast and easy.
My buddy and I took 2 and a half hours to clean 1000 chips!.
They dont fit too well in chip racks however, they wobble when stacked.
I am not a fan of TRKing chips, but hey .25 each? GREAT GREAT DEAL.
Posted Thu Nov 25, 2004 12:16 pm GMT by MeridianFC
.25/chip is all right!
Someone earlier suggested that the TRKings don't stack full in racks. Has anyone else had this experience?
Posted Fri Nov 26, 2004 1:10 am GMT by PaulsonChips
I am still kicking myself in the head for not buying ALL of the chips from TRKING when I that morning. When I called, he still had 4000 left. I only got 1000. I was afraid the white haze would be permanent.
IDIOT!
And for the requests of selling my chips, I am sorry I have to decline. I personally always thought TRKING was extremely overpriced and never wanted any part of it. I have a set of almost EVERY SET out there. EXCEPT TRKINGS, so I am going to keep this set!
The Haze doesnt seem to be coming back and its been 2 days already.
ANYONE else's experice with the 3 in 1 oil?
Posted Sat Nov 27, 2004 6:18 pm GMT by PanthersHUTCH15
To those who ordered some of these "Casbah Club" chips and has already received them....
Did your chips come with any type of a chip case??? I am doubtful that they will and forgot to ask when I ordered 500 so it looks like I will need to order another case.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Posted Sat Nov 27, 2004 7:09 pm GMT by warewulf619
No case. At that price you're lucky he doesn't charge for a box to ship them in!

LOL..Very true...Just curious before I order one for 20 or 30 bucks.
Thanks for the reply.

To anyone that bought broken up sets of these like me -- I talked to Dennis and he will make more of these at .50 / chip. Excellent news for me because I just need a few more $5 chips and maybe some $25 and $100's.

I know you sell chips for a living, but didn't you just buy these for $0.25/per? That's a 200% markup. Where's the THP discount?

I don't understand why anyone would pay .75 / chip for these. You can have them made brand new by tr king for .50 / chip. I just ordered an additional 75 to complete my set.
I guess it's only about making money to you. To some of us it's a hobby.

But I guess if you can get $.75 from a bunch of dumbass suckers on a poker forum for seconds of a $.50 chip, you should sure go for it. After all, opportunity doesn't knock more than once, and you do have to strike while the iron is hot. Congratulations sir, you bring a new meaning to the words Caveat Emptor.

I wasnt going to sell the TRKINGs but I just got a better deal on a set of 1000 chipset of hte Kings Crown. I have over 40 sets of chips and selling one is no big deal to me.
You think a 200% markup is a lot? If you only knew what things really cost. You would be surprised. I also operate pokerchipmart.com and our markups for those items are over 2000%. And we are still the LOWEST priced out there.

2000% eh? Given the quality of the stuff that's being imported I'm not surprised. Capitalization by exploitation, the new mantra of the Chinese capitalist. I'm sure the folks here will be glad to know that. Glad that you and your AKKO Intl company are so proud of the crap that you're flooding the market with while you preach the superiority of Paul-Son chips. BTW, when are you going to finish that AKKO site?

given that it doesn't seem to be a working site. Nor can I figure out how a 2000% markup is 'cost'. How is AKKO related to Porsche anyway? It appears to be nothing more than an unfinished poker chip site.

I can certainly see how selling rejects of fifty cent chips for 75 cents will pay for a set of Kings Crown chips. Here, I was going to buy a set of those Kings Crowns as well, but I was planning on doing it the old fashioned way, from my checking account.
Also, what's this business with the 'CHECK OUT OUR NEW BUD JONES CHIPS!' in your signature. Since when did you become an authorized retailer for GPI, who currently only sells chips to licensed casinos? Sounds like fraud to me, or at least misrepresentation at the very least.

Wow, when I first got into resale I checked out AKKO for some inventory and I almost passed out. The wholesale prices were soooo high. Anyway I must be importing from the wrong place because if I marked a chipset up 2000% I think that would make it like $1000. But, then again I run my business for pleasure and I don't have a Porsche. Damn, to think I just missed getting those TR Kings for a quarter and they've already tripled in value 
Posted Tue Nov 30, 2004 12:39 am GMT by Guest
I wouldn't get hot and bothered all over it. If you can get first quality chips from TR King for a half a buck, why would you want to buy some rejects from a scammer for $.75? Not to mention spending all that time bathing the chips in oil. See a tell for what it is. It looks like it may be a good idea to avoid companies like pokerchipmart.com and the products they distribute to so many of the other web dealers (poor guy over at pokernstuff.com comes to mind) who sells the products that he claims to import (or as he puts it 'manufactures'). The poor people of China are exploited enough with American materialism, there's no reason to support this clown and his Porsche with his 2000% markups. And just as a point of reference, a brick and mortar merchant (the poor working stiff trying to earn a living by reselling products in a store that he pays rent and taxes for) has an average markup of 166%, and legitimate corporations are operating at margins in the 30-35% range.
AKKO? They claim to be the parent company or another name for pokerchipmart.com
http://www.akkointernational.com
There are some poker products that they package and resell to retail stores under that name as well. Like the card shufflers that sell for $10 at Target and are resold under the AKKO packaging for rediculous prices, up to double.

PC,
Sorry about the flack but I didn't post it to have folks take pot shots at you. I was just speaking my mind. In all fairness, if people want to pay you $.75 a chip then more power to you. I think it was suprising to me that you would post your sale sign in this thread, especially since you "scored" on the deal thanks to Nate's tip (I think it was Nate?).

I don't think a 200% markup is a lot for a retailer to ask. After all they have costs to cover for marketing, holding costs, overhead, returns, etc. I think it is in bad taste however to ask for that much when a member of this board gave us the tip and you bought the chips on the same day. I am not saying you should sell these chips at a loss or at cost, but the markup seems unreasonable given these facts. Just my .02.

Those Bud Jones chips he recently got off Ebay. I saw the auction for them and now he's parting out the set almost piecemeal making at least a couple hundred percent for those chips. What a nice contribution to this community and all he sees is profit. It really makes people want to do business with him. Ha!
Posted Tue Nov 30, 2004 3:54 am GMT by PaulsonChips
The reason that I originally posted the chips for sale is because I've have gotten numerous emails asking me to sell the chips.
Now that I have 1000 piece set of the King's Crown, I have no need for the Casbah chips. If you think .75 a chip is high, then check this link out.
http://www.dice702.com/casbahclub.htm
Personally, I try to steer people away from the low end chips as you can see from my posts in other threads. However, most people out there are not even ready to spend .25 a chip.
I am currently working with Paulson to deliver some custom chips to sell. I should be coming out with 2 lines. A Bud Jones line mimicking the WSOP chips and another Top Hat and Cane chip with a classic inlay.
(And please no posts about GPI not selling to anyone but the casinos)
I don't get the sudden hostility, but anyways. No harm no foul.
And to answer the post about where I got my Kings Crown; someone had offered me a trade for the Paulson Bond Isthmus Chips. :D

Call Dennis at TR King. He still had some this morning, just no reds or greens. I think werewolf said that TR King was willing to make some up more at $.50 each (the normal price for these chips).
With regards to AKKO's prices being high, you have to take into account that you're paying for his Porsche.
If it's of any consolation, I'm seeing retailers, some of them shopping mall stores, whose 'wholesale' prices are the same as the retail prices from some of the web sites. Ignorance is bliss

No, I think he's accusing them of selling $0.50 chips for $1.99 apiece. Try and keep up here.
But who cares? If you know it's a bad deal, don't buy the chips - no skin off your teeth. Granted, maybe (obviously) he shouldn't have posted the offer here, but you know what? The masses are asses (especially on eBay) - someone's gonna buy them for that price, and more power to him for that.
Sheesh.

It's been said here before that we are less then 1% of the chip buying market on this forum. Most people will be willing to pay a lot for chips, because they dont know any better. If they want to pay $750 for PaulsonChips' chipset let them, should he have posted it here maybe not but like he said he was responding to interest from members of this forum. Like Ray said if he can sell them for that price more power to him.

Like Ray said if he can sell them for that price more power to him. |
I fullyagree. This particular forum is about poker supplies and seems to have many posts dealing with deciding what types to buy, where to purchase and how much to pay.
If PC responds to those making requests, is he really that far off base?
It seems like some of the hostility comes from people missing a good deal and trying to direct their anger somewhere.

I did email dice702 about these chips -- he does not have any. I think he listed them at 1.99 so that nobody would order them online, speculation of course.
Moving on, I received my Casbah Club chips and will stop for 3 in 1 oil on my way home. I ordered an additional 75 to complete my set for .50 cents each. Looking forward to using these in my ring game this weekend. TRking has been a pleasure to deal with. Sent them in cool cardboard boxes that hold 100 chips each with cardboard separators. I'll keep these for future chip storage.
I also received my elite 550 a few days ago. It was supposed to be for my suits chips. I'll probably order a few more of these. I'm not crazy about the cheap plastic chip racks inside the case, but the case itself appears to be very sturdy and has a paded handle.
Again, THANKS to Nate for the tip!

I also need to thank Nate for the info. I would have had no idea about them if it wasn't for him and now I'll get my set Thursday.
Thanks.
Also, TRKing has impressed me very much. I requested a sample from Dennis about a month ago and received very prompt e-mails, and the chip just days later. When ordering the Casbah Club chips he again responded very quickly to my questions and even sent them out before the long holiday break. A pleasure to deal with.
Last, maybe it would be a good idea to make a separate board for those who are looking to trade and sell poker supplies. This doesn't mean that anyone affiliated with a company can just come on a post about whatever, but in this case it would have been a good place for PaulsonChips to post that he was selling his chips, whether people agree with it or not. I wouldn't mind having a board to go look at check out what people are selling or are willing to trade away...private sellers, not company's.

That last post was me... I wasn't logged in for some reason.

I was glad to share the tip with everyone! I like this board a lot, there are lots of great people on here that have given me advice so I was glad to help some of you guys out! Enjoy the chips!
EDIT: about another forum topic for users to sell stuff, I think it would be a great idea also but it would probably get spammed a lot.

There's something wrong there. They're also listed in the category that he uses for obsolete chips from real casinos, and Casbah is obviously a fantasy chip. It must just be a mistake. I'd guess that this chip may have been made for dice702 and was rejected for the blemishes. The 1.99 price does seem odd as well since he has the higher priced Kings Crown chips for .93 or .03 more than TR King charges for them.

Yeah, I saw that one on Ebay. Selling some Sahara chips too. I think a set of 200 would be worth a little over $200 for the trouble. I wouldn't pay it though. I'm thinking of getting 200-250 $1 chips next time I go to vegas. I haven't decided from which casino yet though, probably binions. I already bought some old Binions .25 cent chips.
