Hi Everyone! I recently bought a 2000 chip set on a road trip to Manchester NH. The chips aren't great quality, but the volume alone makes it an amazing deal for 50 USD. What do you think? I'm looking to but a huge cash set if anyone has offers
A set I recently bought! (1 Viewer)

hard to go wrong at $50 if you need chips.
Not sure how you’d ever need that many considering the size of the table though.
What kind of cash chips are you looking for?

If you're happy with them that is all that matters
Cool case for $50 if nothing else. I advise you don’t hang around here too long, you’re gonna get hooked and want to upgrade, go enjoy your chips now!

Worth it for the case and rack alone. Now you might need a bigger table lol

For fifty bucks it's hard to go wrong. The case alone makes that a good buy; that's a great way to carry 2000 chips.
Whether you'll ever need that many chips in one place is another question. Depends on how many tables you're running at once. You can get by pretty comfortably with 400 chips per table for a tournament (I assume these are for a tournament, since there's no $1 chips), but there's people who like to have even more than that.
The breakdown isn't ideal - the tens and the fifties aren't very useful, so given the option it'd be better to do without them and instead have more fives, twenty-fives, and hundreds. But since you got such a great deal it hardly matters, and it doesn't hurt anything having them (you may or may not want to use them, but that's up to you).
There's plenty of other chips that you might eventually decide are worth upgrading to, but in the meantime, if you like the way they look and feel then get 'em into play and enjoy your games!

You could sell that case for twice what you paid for everything, but I'd keep it. Don't think I've seen that before. Wondering now where I could find something like it.

A case like that is on Worthpoint (see here), which means that at some point it was on eBay. But that could have been a long time ago. Nothing like that is on eBay now, not that I could find with a cursory search, anyway.
A case almost like that (very similar, but not the exact same model) was on sale at @Spinettis Gaming in 2016 (see here). Maybe they could tell us more about it. They don't seem to have anything like it now.
Couldn't find anything else like it on Google. Amazon has some rolling 1000-chip cases (see here), but they're flat, not a trunk full of trays like this one. Similar cases are available various other places as well.
There's a couple of other trunk-like rolling 1000-chip cases on Alibaba (see here and here) but of course you'd have to buy a hundred cases at once. And neither of them is the same as the one that @Karimtl found.

Found that case online a while back k but everywhere was sold out! Never found one so damn cool!
Chips look like my first denominated set 20 years ago and still have it
They will definitely get the job done! Nice pick up and welcome to the forum!

Case alone is a good buy for $50. Chips…not so much, but you’re asking a forum full of poker chip snobs.
*You probably could get $50 easily selling the chips, but please don’t list them here on PCF.

Do we need to do a group buy?

Previous discussion of this kind of case: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/2000-chip-case.65393/
Looks like they've been unavailable at retailers for quite a long time.
If you wanted something like this, probably your best bet is to get something generic rather than poker-chip specific, and then just pack it with your chips in chip boxes (Warneke or Matsui or Apache or Bud Jones or whatever). Cases like this are sometimes called "trolley cases" and they're often used for makeup, jewelry, and watches by people going to trade shows. Or you could use plain old roll-aboard luggage.

In for sure!
I already sold them! I will definitely be buying other chips!
I don't know where the original owner bought it from unfortunately. I should have asked
This case actually looks better than the one I had!
Thanks Ben , i appreciate it
I'm open to suggestions, I've seen some ceramic chips I liked but I prefer simpler designs. I think the design on the tiki kings, Day of the dead, and similar chips are way to busy. Otherwise I'm open to clay, composites, etc.hard to go wrong at $50 if you need chips.
Not sure how you’d ever need that many considering the size of the table though.
What kind of cash chips are you looking for?

I went to this link for semi custom Valentino chips for the same reason

Wow! It's a nice set. It's not cheap at all though! I checked the link at brpro. How much did you end up paying for your entire set?I went to this link for semi custom Valentino chips for the same reason

I paid 784 for the chips. The plaques came from someone else (I think I got them from Apache but to be honest I can't remember). That was pre pandemic.
Look, I know they are expensive and I know money doesn't grow on trees. Hell, I have 2 kids that I would LOVE to put through college so I know it isn't easy. The way I look at it, I saved THOUSANDS because I got my chip purchase right the first time instead of buying set after set after set like lots of people here have done. Get you a sample set of regular Valentinos from BRPro and ask yourself "are these good to be my FOREVER chips?" If they are, then it is worth the money. If not, then continue looking.

I second BRPro, and for just a bit more you can go full custom if you want which can help 'justify' the price.
As if I haven't already

Nice pickup for the Case, not so much for the chips thot
They are still prob good for giving away or donating in the future when you upgrade to better chips

That's exactly how they are. It would have been cool as a home tourney set but the denominations are all over the place
