a. price
b. design (a matter of taste)
c. 'custom' Paulsons (a novelty anymore)

Not that much too any chip or chips really...

(Need to order 100k to make it worthwhile - that's one little tricky bit...)

for all in this group buy a question?

i am looking at purchasing 500 chips from the group buy and trying to nail down what colors and amounts of each to get.

here is my senario:

i usually play tournaments from 7 to 10 people and we usually start with blinds of 50/100..

i also like to play the home games, but we only use .25 chips there as we play all the old time games with dealer choice: 7 card stud, follow the queen, baseball and other cheesy games when we get tired of playing tournaments.

now we are used to using different colored chips, so possibly use any color for the home game and not just the green 25.

my gut says i should get:
200 green 25 ( i like this chip more then the blue non denom)
200 black 100
75 purple 500
25 orange 1000

but i am open to your suggestions as you guys have more experience than i do.

also, i am wondering if i decide at a later time to increase the amount of chips in my group, how would i do this? with this group buy i don't see being able to replace broken chips or increase the amounts if i were to need more of one color.

1) Buy more chips in your initial order.

You can't ever have too many chips. Well, maybe you can, but once you get hooked on wildly expensive Paulsons, you'll come around

2) The thinking is that if necessary, you could always supplement from the Apache JBs or generic Trademarks. But yeah, I worry about this one, too.

I was just wondering how I could get hooked up with a sample of those chips.

[spicychili]

There are no samples. These are pre-production. If you want samples you need to get some of the other James Bond Paulsons samples which will be the same chip but with a different image.

Edit: Here is the link for trademark

and a link for apache where you can get some samples.

Wow.

He really put together a metric butt ton of orders...

[Paradigm]

ahhhh man, i want in SO badly, but don't have the roll/cash for that. damn micro limits!

[MarkSummers]

how much does anyone think a set of 300,400, 500 will go for on ebay?

[TwinTowers]

The only way I can seek this one past the boss is the re-sale value of these chips if thing ever went sideways for us.

I cant imagine not getting a dollar a chip for these in the next year or so. If chip prices tumbled, I still dont think these Paulsons would dip much below what the current pre-order price is.

A 500 chip set should be able to be sold on the bay for $500 later in the year. Any other ideas??
