I posted a pic of my chips a few months back and received a few comments from people that asked me if I wanted to sell them. I never planed on selling them but the time has come to let them go.
I bought these on ebay a few years back for $250. I guess the poker craze has really driven the prizes up on real paulson chips.

NOOOOOO!! Why can't I be rich enough to buy those. I have had chip envy ever since I saw those the first time. I think that is the nicest home set I have ever seen.

Dammit! Now I'm going to have to rob a bank to buy these! If you don't hear from me for I while, I didn't make it.

Yeah it will be a big sale but I will never have a nice set like that again. I am wishing I bought more of them when I had the chance a few years back. I could have got anotyher 500 chips for $250.

Yeah, I was just about to say, "Hope you get paid, Jack" from a first-time bidder. I really hope it all works out. And $3 apiece is about what I expected...
Edit: Although the (Mint) Dunes went for $5 apiece!

I was thinking $3 a piece as well, my bid fell just short. At least I don't have to add to my list of poker related purchases under "do I have a problem"!

Thanks everyone for your bids. It was fun to watch it climb higher and higher. Makes me wish I had more. The person that won the auction paid for them right after it was over.

Yeah, onetimejr has zero feedback and has only been a member since April 7?? Well, if he paid, he paid. Good auction!
