I know this is a long shot but I just wanted to put it out into the universe.

Hoping to find 4 racks total.

100 x $1
100 x $5
100 x $25
100 x $100

If someone has barrels of the $25s and $100s that would be amazing as well. Only really need a full rack of the $1s and the $5s.

Not really sure what the going rate for these would be but I can offer cash, and if anyone is interested I have a rack of current MGM Detroit fracs available for trade as well.

Thanks for stopping by.
 
I think I sold mine for 1.19 or 1.29 per chip? I can't remember. It was probably a friends and family discount. Pretty much this is a useless post. Sorry.
I paid $250 for my last rack of hundos and offered more. Happy to get them for that price!

Last time I saw a wanted ad for the $5s I think it was over face value and crickets... I paid $2 a chip for most of our tourney set which was above market... but these do not change hands much anymore. Definitely no longer easy chips to find, but you never know. And doesn't hurt to ask!

Best of luck with your hunt sir!

And they were resold at the exact same cost, and then resold at the same cost, and next is coming back here at the same cost!

Looking at current BCC prices, in addition to these being highly sought and many already spoken for on FROR or if someone sells, plus the very limited supply of $5s compared to $20-25s and $1s, you’re definitely looking at +$2 a chip.

To break off this might be impossible, but I’d be guessing close to $3.50 a chip and you taking whatever breakdown they offer.

That's all pretty confusing too me lol.

Did I sell some to you? I think I also sold some to @Perthmike I just can't remember.

These beauties came to rest here. Homeboy I sold to has actually bought/sold to make it an even more playable set.

Wait, what did I miss ?

3.5/chip for BCC Mardi Grass ?

I love BCC and think these are nice...but how much would Proteges be then ?
Or web molds / MGK / ...

2 years ago I sold a Riverboat set for:

100 x 25c
120 x 50c
203 x 1$
80 x 3$
100 x 5$
70 x 10$

$585 for the set (673 chips)...and now they are at 3 each ?

Haha right? I was already spending above what I was really comfortable spending...years ago. Now this new pricing is just not for me. I have even stopped buying a lot of sample sets as well...just can't compete.
 
I don't see MG V2s selling for $3.50 across the board. But for the rare $5s that most are hunting I could see them selling for that! I can tell you I bought for $2 each many of my chips and their is a list of people waiting to buy them at that price!

There is a very high demand for these and many chippers hunting them.our original set was like $1.25 each but after that the going rate for the add ons was $2 and I had no problem paying it other than they were dirty as hell! That's what price it took to pry them loose, maybe I over paid but others were more than willing to pay that amount as well!

Hi Ben

Same goes for Proteges (supply & demand)...wich I rate a lot higher (no offence) then the MG chips...and these go for about 2-2.5 each.
That is telling me that i'm never ever selling my Protege chips at 2/chip not even 3/chip....because these are way under rated.

Not even thinking about how much the real BCC grail sets will be selling...

If these prices are here to stay...then I don't see many new members building collections like in the old days (free renting)

You're talking to someone that's never made a penny off of selling, so I don't know what to tell you?

I'm just trying to be helpful and take a stab. These aren't ever up for sale, the only one of recent was a set of 1,800 chips at over $1.70 a chip. 200 of that total were $5s, and 500 of those chips (almost 1/3) were the plentiful $10s. Add to the fact that this great seller sold them at his price, meaning the only set that has come for sale didn't hold for a premium, but instead let them go at a previous price.

Meanwhile, every set I know of at this time is spoken for if sold, i.e. via PM.

So yes, if someone really wants a set of these, and want a solid playable/near playable breakdown, I'd guess that they're only going to get them from someone looking to make money, who is no way going to sell at $2 or sub $2 a chip.

More members, fewer chips available. Not a bad thing, but yes people will get priced out.

My fuckups aside, I'm no longer selling desirable chip sets. If someone wants a chip set that I own and I'm not using it (likely the case), they can have it for free as long as I get FROR on the free price. Not worth it to sell things at a reasonable price when I'll never have the opp to buy them back again.

First off sorry @Duck for my book in your wanted ad. I think what I have to say has relevance to that which unfolded in your thread. If you like I will take it down sir, I feel like I have a valid point to make but I will loose about 3/4s of the readers about 2 paragraphs in. Lol so happy to remove.

I think there is an important factor being overlooked many times on chip valuations. This hobby is driven by the WOW factor as much as anything else. To QUOTE a friend " he who packs the most crayon colors on to a chip, wins!" People want bring inviting colors and they are willing to pay to get it!

Is this not the same thing as say Arch Yellow starbursts bringing $300 + per rack while people get upset when white. Red, blue and green are sold for $125 a rack? How about BTPs or SB $5s going for $700 - $800 per rack!! If they made BTPs in protege colors do you think they would have drawn the same attention? I think not.

I love the Protege line Thomas, I absolutely agree that they are a far superior chip to a paper inlaid MGV2 iin every way (other than color choice and inlay design). I think comparing them to MG V2 chips is a very similar comparison the THC vs RHC. I actually hope to one day own a cash set. But I don't think they have that fire attraction like the super bright and inviting colors of the MGs, also to be frank the inlay is very traditional where as the MG inlay is modern and fun!

The new generation of chippers want that wow factor and are willing to spend ridiculous money to get it. Especially the yellow Cali $5 craze sweeping the hobby right now. The veteran chippers do not have to like it, they can raise their prices to reflect it and be shunned by the others. They hobby is evolving rather people like it or not!

I can guarantee if someone listed a rack of MG V2 $5 chips right now for $350 it would sell in minutes if not seconds. Again I did not say across the denoms. I was very specific with my statement.

In my own defense TCR have come to their senses and raised their prices to what $1.50 average across the denoms for RHC chips and for the most part people seem to be pretty accepting of that, flipping drove those prices up and if the market shows they are worth more, they should get some of that as well! Chip values have definitely been on the rise and they have every right to keep up with the times with their offering values. But guess what... GPI is still making those chips everyday! There are no more BCCs, what are out there is all there are ever going to be. Is $2 a chip for my favorite chips really out of line given the inflation of everything else within the hobby? I think $2 a chip was a fair price and given the number of people that want dibs if we ever sell, I don't think I did anything wrong paying that to get the set where I wanted it. Even $250 for my last rack of hundos to get the set finished... I would have easily paid $300 but the seller was fair in my opinion, if you want to buy a chunk of a playable set, you are going to pay a premium to do so.

People will pay whatever they feel is resonable for chips. Neither of us (Thomas and I) are selling anytime soon, but if you want to place your valuation higher because of the going rates of another set you have every right to do so... doesn't mean people will pay it.

Nothing but respect for you @Thomacetti Brie and I enjoy your company on the forum sir and are truly thankful for all you contribute day in and day out! I get that your comment was about the $3.50 valuation but their simply aren't enough $5s to go around exactly the same as the Vineyards, Jacks, now HSI... casinos order chips in much more even numbers and many here want their cash sets heavyied up on $5s. That means lots of other chippers buying the scraps and then trying to pry those $5s away from those that have the solidified sets. Obviously that means the price goes up, not some huge mystery... it happens with many of these sets we see.

If I add up all those 2 cents, I gues that's my treefiddy!! Lmao

Well, all I've got to say is exactly the words someone very insightful on this forum once told me. The chips are only worth what you're willing to pay, not what the market says, or what the best deal is. If they are worth that to you then that is what you are willing to pay for them. This price is not always the same price as the next person.

Anyways, @Duck these are beautiful chips, and GLWSearch
 
So to answer the OP, anywhere from $1.50/chip to $4/chip for most denoms. But there are some denoms that are more than that. There does that narrow it down? LOL

They are absolutely beautiful chips and well worth whatever you can spend on them if you can find them.
