My reply to his reply:

Tom,

I've got to tell you, your offering of these chips seems awful suspicious.

The inlays are identical to Paulson's "Fabulous Las Vegas" fantasy chips. It seems funny that a CA cardroom would have dice and slot machines on their chips since they won't be offering those gambling venues.

Why would you offer these on eBay BEFORE the place opened hoping to get more than face value? Surely they can be purchased in whatever quantity desired at the card room after they open. They would be in the same mint condition.

You say they are redeemable. By who? Can you give me a name and address where I may redeem them?

There is quite a discussion going on about these on The Chip Board. You may want to speak up in public there and answer these questions.
