Paulson selling to public?

[sin808]

Hopefully they'll do custom chips. I could suffer the new mold if they stick what I want in the middle [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Minimum order from them is 250,000 chips. Enough custom chips for you and several of your best friends. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, I could live with the molding, as long as the chip had the same feel, sound and weight that makes Paulson the best.

That is not their real minimum order. I worked at Casino Pauma, an Indian Casino in San Diego. and was training there before they opened and dealt on opening day. They use Paulson chips. I remember discussing with the table games manager two months before the opening about which colors and edge spots he chose, he had they entire 100 chip sample set there in front of him. He said that the casino bought 62,500 total. Given that this was a smallish casino with four poker tables and 25 blackjack/paigow tables. But obviously they can do smaller orders than 250,000 if full casinos are not buying that much.

I've been to Casino Pauma, so I know what you're talking about. They should simply create several lines of chips and let the customer choose them. Makes it easy on everyone.

Paulson certianly could do smaller runs, even 500 if they wish.
They have choosen to sell thier home chips to one exclusive vendor.
That vendor has a minimum of 250,000 chips to do a custom run.
The 250,000 chips is not Paulsoms minimums it is their vendors minimums.

I confess that I'm so excited about Paul-Son selling to civilians again (even if just indirectly), that I'm overwhelmed by the urge to use words like "stoked," "gnarly," "dude" and "awesome."

Did you look into getting them for HPC?

I think the inital order for them to start things out is going to be high. I think in the upcoming year we will see a lot of changes in the chip market. Poker is booming right now! I remember last year at this time I had a hard time getting a game together. Now there's regular games practically every day of the week! My regular tourney on Fridays averages around 10-15 people. Last week we had 24 people and had many more that we had to turn away. The last 6 to show up had to play on a table outside in 40 degree weather.

There's a lot more demand, not enough supply yet.

Why even bother if you min is 250 thousand pieces.

their vendor is either stupid or totally out of touch with the market.

we The BARGE Chip Committee do a 9 chip set with unique reverse and obverse every year which runs around 4,000 to 5,000 peices.I receive and inspect these chips as wewll as a limited edition of >50 purples chips and 200 BCC bounty chips every year. we use chipco and have every year since paulson sold out.
