I am looking for mint or near mint ES100s to complete a cash set @GreatWhiteDope and I are collaborating on. We have 80 chips, which if I’m honest is enough for my game, but I’d like to complete the rack. Thanks in advance!

So you want to spend a grand on filling out a rack, knowing you have no use for 50 more hundos!?!? Good lord man that's ridiculous and sounds like something I would do:wtf: Good luck.

Yep. That’s me in a nutshell. 😜

My demons are easily tamed with cash. I can live with that. That has not always been the case. lol
 
Interesting words. Those words could not possibly better define my existence as well here at PCF.

I’m having a tattoo artist work on this as a new piece I’m getting on my back. It’s primarily referring to my demons I fought to get sober, but it has many meanings for me.
 
The first 50 just arrived and they are amazing! Thanks so much to @sleepypiggly for such a smooth and exceptional transaction! The chips are even better than I’d hoped and will look absolutely stellar in their new designer clothes that @GreatWhiteDope will be applying very soon! Is it too cheesy to offer a tip of my hat for these beauties? I only wish everyone was as easy to work with!!!

I’m up to 70. Who’s got 30 more of these bad boys for me? You know they get lonely if they don’t have plenty of friends. They feel safest when combined with 99 friends or so I’ve heard.
 
Opening my options to include a barrel of $500s. Since this is an overlay project, it doesn’t have to be ES500s. As long as the chip flows with the set and is Mint. Thanks!
 
I’ve procured 49 FLV $500 chips, but need one more to round those out. CDI98s work, as well, since these are an over label project. I’d take a single, 11 or even 51 as long as they’re sharp!

Still searching for 30 more Empress Star 100s.

Thanks!

Hanging tight on 80 of these beauties! Will buy individual chips, shuffle stacks, a barrel, whatever you’re willing to part with!
 
If only there were any pricing suggested. Alas, chip holders/hoarders have no clue. Is it worth the effort to look in our vaults for such rare beauties? Who knows??

I respect the quest for complete racks. But it is coming up on a month. Perhaps a better enticement would be productive?

I would be shocked if any ES $100 owners didn't know about what they are worth. $20/chip am I warm?

Ok, my bad. FWIW, I had zero six weeks ago. 50 when I posted this a little over 3 weeks ago. I’m up to 80 just paying whatever has been asked of me. I wasn’t aware I was breaking protocol. I’ve scoured the want ads daily for the past 4 1/2 months and haven’t seen a set “go to” method. Half don’t even post a pic of the chip they’re looking for. lol

But, you’re absolutely right! I can do better. I paid $18/chip for near mint and $20/chip for the mint chips. If it takes more to get me across the finish line, I imagine I’ll go higher. It’s not as if bumping this post every few days with an update has been a major inconvenience to me. And it has occurred to me that half the fun is the chase. But, sure. 👍🏻
 
I can neither confirm nor deny that such chips exist. But if such things did exist, and if I somehow were part of the original purchase, then the question would be " did I buy spares in case my full racks lost a few chips "

While I might confidently point to a 1000-chip bird cage in the left corner of the top shelf of the vault - it might not have a single one of these mythical chips. And looking for perhaps non-extant spare chips isn't that easy - those aren't something I could point to one box and say, "of the hundreds of boxes in the vault, that box would be the proper place to store back up irreplaceable chips from a decade ago"

Yes, it is true that I might have participated. But it was soooo long ago that my feeble memory can't be reliable. -=- DrStrange
