The easiest way to acquire a complete, playable set of ex-casino chips is to purchase one from another PCF member in the Classifieds and/or purchase one from a Vendor when they are offered for sale. My only advice is to know what you want, save a stash of ready money, and jump when you see it come up. It's a harsh, competitive world out there. But also a kind, helpful one, too. Just keep on asking questions and searching for answers that satisfy.
