snooptoddd 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 So I won sixty cents in a freeroll on PKR.com ... but I couldn't play with it because they don't allow US customers (thanks Bill Frist -- how's that Presidential bid going?).Anyway, I got them to send me a check, and I just traded that check for a set of 500 poker chips (they are wicked SWEET). Now I want to trade the chips for something else (make me an offer and I'll think about it) ... the plan is to eventually trade for the buy-in for the Main Event of the WSOP.Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous that the law was passed, and yes, my plan is at least as ridiculous.Check it out at www.sixtycentmainevent.com, and let me know if you're interested in making a trade.***EDIT*** Traded the chips for a basketball signed by the 1975-76 Indiana Pacers, the last season of the ABA ... ***EDIT*** Traded the basketball for two small pieces of a house that Jimi Hendrix grew up in ... details ...***EDIT*** Traded the pieces of the Hendrix House for a limited edition Super Bowl XXXVI football signed by Adam Vinatieri ...

Vatche 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 who sold you a ''sweet'' chip set for 60 cents? Link to post Share on other sites
RodReynolds 87 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Those chips sound awesome.I'd be willing to trade. How does $20 per chip sound? I'm not really good at math, so let me know what the total comes to, ok?Here's what I suspect is going to happen at Washington:Fatcat #1: Hey, fatty, did you hear about that punk who, via a series of trades, traded in 60 cents all the way up to a $10,000 Main Event seat?Fatcat #2: No! That's lunacy!Fatcat #1: Yes, it sure is. You know, it really makes me think about that whole Internet Gambling Act we passed. It's lunacy too! Now that I think about it.Fatcat #2: Wait a second... you're right! The lunacy of that story you presented to me mirrors our own lunacy. We should make things right. Will you help me?Fatcat #1: ok Link to post Share on other sites

snooptoddd 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 I didn't sell the chips, I traded my physical check to GoldenPalace.com for them. Check out the blog, it explains the whole deal ... and trust me, I give complete credit to the red paperclip guy, he's the man. Link to post Share on other sites

CodyHartman 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I didnt realize the set was soo rare. Very cool set. I wonder what you could get for individually selling each of these chips, although I guess that takes away from the whole "trade" idea. Link to post Share on other sites
