If anyone wants to get any. Price is pretty good i would think.
I may have to pick up a set, just because it would be a cool thing to have.

Yeah, I already spoke to all the people that have bought from them. over 2,000 sold, none have been delivered. I'm a bit worried about them being legit.
Here's what one guy said to me:
| Quote: | no i have not received them yet,
its been a while and i'm wondering why i have not got them, but one thing that worries me is that at first there was a listing for the chips but the chips looked the same but were plain, with no pictures on the chips, then when i emailed them about this, they said "oh we put pics of the wrong chips on there, we will update tomorrow, then all of a sudden, the next day the chips looked the same, but now had the colorado pics on them, so i'm worried that they will be total fakes, thats why i only bought one set to see if they are real, then i'll buy more if they are. but i suspect they will be bad fake chips.
|
The auctions say that there are only 5000 total, and I see that they've auctioned 4000 now. Let's see if they auction more than 5000. Also, someone post asap if you actually receive them. Give us a review.

If he is a fraud Ill go beat him up for you. He is in toronto also.
Posted Thu Mar 31, 2005 2:19 pm GMT by jojobinks
he seems to have sold lots of stuff, and his feedback is decent. it's kinda scary, though, that there aren't any photos of the chips that didn't come from the show.
Posted Thu Mar 31, 2005 2:23 pm GMT by TenPercenter
I bought 500 two days ago, sent messages offering to buy the lot as long as they didn't post any more auctions, and got no response. Then after needling, she said basically "sure I wont post anymore, but pay for your auctions." At the same time, she posted 15 more auctions. So I said "forget it" and I'll just pay for the ones I won. we'll see.

I think her feedback is horrible. I would never buy from someone with less than 99% feedback with that many transactions unless it was a very low dollar item. In fact, with more than 2000 transactions, I expect 99.5% or more positive.

Also, other than these chips, they sell jeans, clothes, and trinkets. Why all the sudden they have an inside-line to ESPN and set props?

Just bought 100 chips, when i finished paying through paypal I went back on ebay and the other 400 that were left were sold. No more on ebay right now maybe they are all gone.

If this is for real, I can only guess that Tilt was filmed in Canada (as are many, many movies and TV shows).
But it sure doesn't look real. Smells like Dover Sole, if not fully-rotten Yellowfin Tuna! And her feedback is definitely mixed.
The cheesy photos don't look like the chips from the show. One "photo" is of Full Tilt Poker -- don't these people know that FTP has nothing to do with Tilt? The chips in the "safe" don't look right. And the real chips are definitely Blue Chips, not Paulson.
I hope I am wrong and everybody gets some real chips, even if the shipping from Canada takes a month. (Maybe the customs agents are breaking out the chips for their weekly game!)
Keep us informed if you get anything.

I thought that was odd also. Does Full Tilt sponsor the show or something? Personally I don't think the chips have much value because I think the show stinks. 
Posted Thu Mar 31, 2005 4:02 pm GMT by B_rock
How weak is that! Tilt is filmed in Toronto, yet we don't even get to see the show.
I did see it while I was in vegas and it was kind of crappy. I guess the slow-play-check-raise is the most dramatic move you can make for a poker drama.
hope the chips work out for all of you, it smelled fishy so I didn't buy, but I did send an email for an in-person transaction....we'll see.
Posted Thu Mar 31, 2005 4:14 pm GMT by tomb1
Maybe I'll bid on 20 pair of "real" Levi's/Wrangler/Lee ladies jeans just to see if she completes the transaction.
But first I'll have to find a girlfirend with a 22-inch waist. Come to think of it, if I find a girlriend like that I won't be playing any cards or buying any jeans!
(Just kidding, wifey dear... Darling. Honey. Sweetie. Without whom I'd be nothing. Love of my life. Uh, can I come back in the house yet?)
Posted Thu Mar 31, 2005 5:51 pm GMT by TenPercenter
I now count 5,600 chips have been auctioned, they said 5000 limit.
One good sign: new photos are posted, with different colors in the rack. That is a point for "looking legit."
Posted Thu Mar 31, 2005 5:53 pm GMT by yeltzen
You know hundreds of schmucks will buy these even though they can get the exact same chip with a custom inlay from BC. Stooopid.
Posted Thu Mar 31, 2005 5:54 pm GMT by vai777
Ive e-mailed a few times and havent heard back SHITE I dont know where these chips came from but there definatley not paulsons. Also if you search completed auctions you will see that they have raised the prices on these chips from $80 to now $200 per 100
BUYER BEWARE !!!!!!!

Hope everyone gets their chips. The feedback is not too good, and judging from replies to feedback the seller seems very immature.

I also bought 100 and haven't received them yet. No response to emails either.
Posted Fri Apr 01, 2005 3:06 am GMT by ashVID
I bet this is 100% legit. Lots of movies and shows that shoot outside the lower 48 liquidate their props instead of storing them back at the studio. Almost always it is some random yokel who snags up the lot. My guess is that this person either has them on hand, or is selling them for someone else. Movie/TV memorabilia is EASY to come by, just have to know someone who knows someone. I have gotten a few sweet things over the years.

I got my 100 chips today and they were exactly the ones shown in the pic, same denom and everything. The seller wasnt overly communicative but at least they finally showed up. They actually look pretty good except for a few messed up inlays.

Id really like to buy 20-25 or so of the Tilt chips if anyone is willing to part with a few.
I am not going to pay $400 for 100 chips, which is what the price was upped to on ebay and I missed the $100 for 100 chip deal that was going at the start.
If anyone is willing to throw me even 10 of these, please let me know via PM.
Thanks.

I'm going to grab some of the diamond chips if they come down from $249. I have pictures of them closeups, and I like them.
http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=202#2081
BTW, chips from the Rounders set are selling for $50 to $60 each on ebay (as two chip sets).
Posted Wed Apr 06, 2005 7:55 am GMT by messenger309
Yeah, those are mine. I can't believe it myself. You wouldn't believe what a collector paid for the 200 chip set that was 20 of each denom...
I had a few up at a buy it now of $150 and right after an auction ended at $125 someone took all the buy it nows too.
BTW, they are mostly not chip collectors buying the chips, they are movie memorabilia collectors.

Something I noticed about mine. On the 1000 denom ones, 6 are regular and 14 are tournament chips. I will attempt to post pictures soon. I wonder if this will increase or decrease the value of the chips, as I intend to sell them soon.

Any oddity will increase the value.
Posted Thu Apr 07, 2005 7:54 am GMT by messenger309
It sure will, 7 of the KGB $500's had no inlay and while it probably didn't add huge value, it definitely piqued the interest of the ventual buyer.

I just got my set and the $500-$10000 chips are really nice, but the $100 chips feel like they have a lable on them not a real inlay. They also dont have the border around the edge of the inlay like the other chips. The only thing that makes sense is that the $100 is a cash game chip, while the other chips all say 'Tournament Chip' on them. There is a clear difference in appearance and feel on the $100 chip though. Ill try and get pics up later. Does anyone have any screenshots of the $100 chip or know if it had a different lable then the other chips?

Check for all the closeups (big photos) on the ChipTalk.net thread.
Posted Thu Apr 14, 2005 2:07 pm GMT by killermold
the labels on my chips are all the same, with the exception of some of my $1000 chips. the 5's, 25's, 100's, and 500's all have the same style inlay. perhaps you got some of the blanks that the seller was doctoring up with new labels.
Posted Thu Apr 14, 2005 2:48 pm GMT by Nate PT
No after checking on Tens CHIPTALk forum thread I realized my $100 were cash game chips and the rest were tournament chips and they used 2 different inlays. I like the tournament inlay better.

But hey lets go after the guy with the big bad poker chips.
