CPC custom order - did you sell other chips? Did you regret it? (2 Viewers)

[toothpic]

I have considered going custom a few times. Each time I asked myself what set I could sell off to fund it. I still have 0 custom sets.
Ask @Perthmike, @RichMahogany, and @kmccormick100.

I literally started at this post for 5 minutes. Such wonderful chips.

In many ways, I consider my Star sets to be my personal customs. I was unwilling to sell anything to fund them (in case they never arrived), so I borrowed the money. I've sold off several sets since (to pay off the loan), but not until long after the Star chips had arrived, and I could effectively over time rank all of the sets in order of long-term preference.

Do I regret the sets I've since sold? Yeah, a few -- several sets sold were essentially irreplaceable. But in my collection, they were redundant from a play-perspective, they all went to good homes, and I'm happy with what remains. I'm still in the process of thinning the herd.

@RichMahogany @kmccormick100 did you ever believe him either as he was showing you his mockups?

I believe that he wants to. At the expense of other sets? Probably not lol

I plan to make a custom CPC in the coming months, but I'm not selling anything to do it. I have a small, yet diverse collection (THC, RHC, ceramics, etc). Do I need them all? No. But I also see too many regrets on PCF.

So I'm not selling to fund them. Just going to wait until I've won enough from my suckers... err... friends.

I sold a big set of Oak Trees.... twice. Regret no, miss them, yes.

Thanks everyone for humoring my questions and for all for the feedback. I still have a long road ahead so plenty of time to mull over which sets I keep or don't keep. I think Krafticus hit the nail right on the head. I may not regret selling my sets but I know I'll certainly miss them.

Have you ever played a game with CPCs? I sold my Le Cove Paulsons to fund my main custom set. I'm sentimental about my set but if I could put that aside, I prefer to play with my Paulson sets. I don't regret owning my customs but I wish I'd waited and funded them without having to sell some of my other sets.

Customs are also a one way trip. You'll never get the money out of them like you might with the others even if you decided to part with them.

I haven’t played a full game with CPCs but got several shuffles stacks of different molds. The sound and feel is different, it’s like CPC chips are more firm. I think the H mold was the one I liked the best. Jockey mold also had a nice sound but I understand that one doesn’t run often.

Understood regarding the long term value since most of it will be personal and sentimental.

Yes, I sold my 800 chip cash set of CDI '98's. Bummer.

Got any tournament denominations by chance?

 

[Chipenhagen]

I didn't sell to get mine - and I regret that! Now have to get rid of some to make room for a new set ...

 

[RainmanTrail]

I've sold off my CPC customs to fund some Paulsons. Does that count?

Definitely counts! I appreciate all points of view here.
