Sold Windwalker Sale #4: a Starter ESPT Set Plus Extras (Newbie Sale) (1 Viewer)

Up for sale is an Empress Star Primary Tournament (ESPT) starter set. 100% are in MINT condition. I am selling this set ONLY as a set, and am offering ROFR on the extra racks and barrels to the person who takes the set.

This set is being priced below market value, as are the extra racks and barrels.

NEWBIE SALE!
This is a special "starter" sale for newbies -- I am giving preferential dibs to anyone who is new to the forum, and has had trouble finding a playable set to purchase.

Here are the rules for "newbie dibs":

• I will look at all dibs (NOT "I'm interested", NOT "I like this", literally USE THE WORD "dibs" on this thread,) using timestamps between now and 9:59PM Pacific tomorrow (Friday September 4).
• The first "dibs" from anyone who joined August 2nd or later gets the set.
• If there are no newbie dibs by that time, the sale falls back to normal precedence.

Please review the Buying Criteria section below before placing dibs.

Now I many also be an extreme outlier, but my first month here, my budget for a set of chips was $150. The second month I actually bought a set, and spent about $250. Last month I spent $500 on my custom cards mold set. MAYBE by the end of the year I MIGHT be ready to drop coin on something like this. Yeah I know, snails pace. I suspect most n00bs are somewhere in between our two extremes.

Yes, I agree. I think from the advice of most members it's "get samples" to figure out what you like. So highly unlikely most "noobs" will want to spend this kind of money when lots of research is in order to figure things out. I'm with you, when i first got on here i told myself lets try to spend around $1/chip, a month later it was $1.50, then a month later it was $2. Now milling, labels, sky's the limit. I still don't know what half the terms mean or half of the chips people are talking about unless they post pictures. I still consider myself a noob and I've been here for a few months but seems like a year.
You're all bad influences but I love it. Hahahaha

Edit, i wrote all this before i got to the part they were sold. Duh

Yeah, honestly -- this idea was born from a PM I got last week from a newbie who was sincerely asking how I got access to all these sets, and that he had been trying for days, but no-one would give him access to the nicer sets because he was new. I thought this sale might help with people like that!

I think it's a great gesture!

Anyone who isn't a noob and wanted these should have just set up a new account, posted quickly enough times to be able to post in the classifieds — and then swooped in to buy!

There’s also the number of days one must spend before gaining access to classifieds, which I believe is 10. Cant remember.

Well, apart from that minor detail, it was the perfect plan.

Devious little one aren’t ya?! Hahahaha

It's been surprising to see how many NON-noobs still have some money left.

Honestly, I was afraid something like that could happen, but good that there are measures in place and a real newbie got them fair and square. Sure, I'm a bit bitter, but it's not the end of the world, and at least I'll be able to sleep tonight what also helped was the Soggy Bottom Boys' performance in The Movie that was chosen tonight!
