Paying for one is different than paying for a barrel, a rack, or a set.
How about we don’t attempt to set a price unless we are the sellers of the actual chips.
I haven’t seen anyone step up yet to pay the asking price for the set yet. So the asking price is not really set.
I paid between five and seven dollars for most of my chips in my AST set, including the barrel of 5s. Should that be the price he charges or should it be the market for what he is selling, at this time? I have seen them acquired by the rack as high as twelve, but maybe it is more? I know that his ask is near the top of what people are asking for this set, but it is still here which suggests it might be on the high end although not unreasonable.
Maybe I am out of touch, but is it appropriate for someone who is not the seller of the chips to set the price in the sales thread that affects multiple people?
I would love to find out what the split prices might be, but stating what you paid for one chip or barrel and extrapolating that for a price that is asking but not settled for others is overreaching unless you are a friend of his and speaking for him.
Again, I might just be different, if my view on this is wrong, the community can correct me and I will remember that if the situation comes up again.
