Yeah I know for sure I'll want the best of the best which is why I'm trying to get the highest quality option for my budget. I'm very close to CPC's so I might just try and hold out so I can get them for sure.Also, just consider taking a dive into the deep end from the start. I’m sure £800-900 sounds like an obsurd amount of money to spend on a chip set right now, but chances are you won’t be satisfied with a ”pretty good” set for very long. At least not if you stick around here with the rest of us maniacs.
If I were you, I would take some time here to read up on what’s what, maybe get some samples, figure out what you really like, save up and go for it. I did that 17 years ago when I picked up a Paulson CDI set as my first (aside from dice obv). Granted they were cheaper then, but $1/chip still was an insane price to pay for me back then. I used and loved that set for 14-15 years before passing it along through the classifieds here and went on to discover other chips.
At the minimum get something with a decent resale value.
Would relabeled majestics/Pharaoh's lose a ton of value?
