A pic for my fellow Vineyards nerds (just a limit set in disarray) (3 Viewers)

[acezag]

Needed a bunch of racks today, so the Vineyards limit set (and a few other things) took a temporary vacation in an Apache.
I love these chips and any and all pics of them - if you're like me, here you go (there's literally no one else I could show this to who would care lol).

That limit set would look great with some red $10s

You and I might need to do a sit-down.

"GETTING BACK TO BASICS: SAFE CHIP STORAGE AND TRANSPORT"

And I'm thinking sooner, rather than later....

3 racks each of Vineyards $25 and $10 were my first ever chip buys, so I think I got everything a little backwards - maybe some day I'll buy some back!

All these Vineyard chips surfacing lately. Makes me want to build a small set but $5’s are incredibly hard to come by

It is one of the mysteries of the chipping world - where'd all the Vineyard $5 go? It wasn't particularly rare to begin with, and someone got the whole shebang to sell to people who like chips. I assume there's a giant dragon horde or two among members that will eventually come out.

@joeyshin $10 above is one way to start - I had a 25c / $1 / $3 / $10 breakdown before I found $5s, and it worked well for microstakes. $1 and $3 is readily available, too.

The $5s are long lost to old chippers sets. You don’t see them for sale bc everyone needs more $5s. You can’t really have too many so no one lets any go.

Markets not saturated. People just broke and scared to spend on hobbys

What would a rack of $5’s go for these days?

 

[acezag]

I don't think a rack of $5 has been listed outside of a set in the last year, but $1000+ seems pretty realistic.

I assume that’s average condition also? Only reason I ask is trying to gauge the cost and likely hood of actually completing it….

 

[acezag]

I had a wanted ad for 11 months, and I think my last advertised price was $1050 a rack. I got 3+ racks all at once in excellent shape, which a chipper had in storage forever and decided to clear out.

I'd guess you'd be looking for the same - someone to clean house or turn over a set they haven't used in a while.
It may also help that @joeyshin is officially done buying the Vineyards world - maybe he'd sell you a set with the purchase of two racks of 10's (wink wink)!

 

[joeyshin]

The $10s are all I have left.


I listed two racks of $5s for $1000/rack couple months ago and the got snapped.
