So I like many others bought a bunch of the $2 and $3 BCC Garden City chips when they were cheap thinking I could build a set around them... OMG what a pain to find the other denoms! But I had the others sitting around and thought I would try!! After a lot of work and effort It is playable (not a perfect breakdown) but playable. With Brie not working this project is not on the front burner so we can part with it, if it doesn't sell that is ok also!

What I have! $1000 shipped for it all!

Kind of an odd but fun set! Giant inlays

The total breakdown
(100) $.25 HS olive green quarters (some are a different shade see pic!)
(100) $.50 peach or Hot orange
(147) $1 blue giant inlay (100) excellent condition and (47) good but casino used condition
(443) $2 green casino used but good
(547) $3 red casino used but great
(200) $10 brown casino used but good

1537 chips total for $1,000 shipped in the US or $30 towards shipping internationally PayPal Friends and Family or pay the 3% please. Post in the thread (dibs, I will take them, something to help time stamp)before PM

These chips came filthy, I spent countless hours cleaning and oiling!

If you are wondering how the hell would I play this?? I have a nice breakdown I will post and also there are BCC $5s in the wild. I have plans to break this down to a 1000 chip set plus a separate price for the extras and will follow up with that break down. Those hoping to buy the fracs, $1s and $10s they will not be sold Separately as it is nearly impossible to move just the $2s and $3s by themselves.

Thank you for looking, fellow Chipper Ben

So that last picture is my "idea" of a 1k chip break down. With a total bank of $3,578 what would be included is:
(100) - $.25
(147) - $1
(253) - $2
(300) - $3
(200) - $10

I would separate this set for $800 shipped in the US but not limited to US.
**edited** price to reflect overall price drop

Breakdown is different but playable
10 players with $100 buy ins. I mean do whatever you want but I took the time to put this peach together.

First 5 players SS would be
(12) x $.25 = $3 x 5 = 60
(12) x $1 = $12 x 5 = 60
(15) x $2 = $30 x 5 = 75
(15) x $3 = $45 x 5 = 75
(1) x $10 = $10 x 5 = 5

Players 6 - 10 starting stacks
(8) x $.25 = $2 x 5 = 40
(13) x $1 = $13 x 5 = 65
(15) x $2 = $30 x 5 = 75
(15) X $3 = $45 x 5 = 75
(1) x $10 = $10 x 5 = 5

Rebuys 1 - 4
(5) x $1 = $5 x 4 = 20
(10) x $2 = $20 x 4 = 40
(15) x $3 = $45 x 4 = 60
(3) x $10 = $30 x 4 = 12
Rebuys 5 - 10
(5) x $2 = $10 x 6 = 30
(10) x $3 = $30 x 6 = 60
(6) x $10 = $60 x 6 = 36

Plus 14 additional rebuys using the $10 chips alone

Chips used in this breakdown
$.25 - 100
$1 - 145
$2 - 220
$3 - 270
$10 - 198

Pretty damn playable if you ask me!

This would leave 537 chips...
(100) $.50 x $1.5 each
(190) $2 x $.40 each
(247) $3 x $.40 each
Which totals $320 but Would sell for $300 shipped and not selling just the $.50 by them selves. I will just keep it all together and hang on to it rather than being stuck with just $2s and $3s.

Brie has been out of work for months and absolutely zero unemployment yet. It's getting pretty tight money wise so choices have to be made. Very possible no body is interested in a break down like this, I think it will be fun. If it doesn't sell it's just back to the drawing board. No big deal!

Not many casino used BCC sets in the wild though. It is pretty unique and again the important parts are here, $5s can be added. I guess we will see, took me a long time to round these up and clean them all!
 
How you get all these amazing chips together amazes me. What a killer set.
The $2s and $3s were plentiful a while back. The rest almost never come up for sale, it takes time. Again it's all good if they don't sell. In time the value of BCCs will go up, I have about $100 profit built into this for weeks worth of cleaning and multiple shipping charges to get them to me. Then a bulk price is cutting all of that profit out and saving you roughly 30 - 35 hours of work! If they don't sell I invented in the wrong chips which is no suprise! Lol but such a fun and unique little set. I would rather keep and play them than take a loss!
 
I personally love these chips, and this is the first of what I will call a completed set up for sale that I have seen. I have only seen bits and pieces here and there. These are amazing chips imo, but then again what do I know ;). GLWS brother!

Very impressed. Cleaning is crazy time
Consuming and I agree about BCC, esp these. This set is crazy awesome don’t take a loss. Someone wants these for sure.

Everyone has different tastes, this is a budget mans set if there ever was one! Lol but many people love $.25/$1/$5/$25... I like weird and odd denoms in a chip set, mix it up a little bit.

I'm not getting out of the GC game. I still have this beaut!
20200512_182631.jpg

$2s were swapped out for paulsons. The $10s are BCCs and also removed for more $5s, $3s removed for more $5s. Cool set but not the same price if I end up going that route but hoping to hang on to those!

I will include one of my dealer buttons BTW... not a major thing but a set should have a dealer button! Lol

1537 chips total for $1,200 shipped
1. Buy the set.
2. Sell 100 sample sets @ $13.
3. Keep the extra 937 chips for free.
4. Profit!

Also - I hadn’t seen the $100s those are awesome.

I really dig those $100s super unique looking
 
If anyone is wondering how I got to my price my value per chip is.
$.25 = $2.25 each x 100 = $225
$.50 = $1.25 each x 100 = $125
$1 = $1.50 each x 147 = $220
$2 = $.40 each x 443 = $177
$3 = $.40 each x 547 = $218
$10 = $1.50 each x 200 = $300
that totals $1265, I paid a little more for some of them. I paid a little less for some of them, plus cleaning and oiling, and multiple shipping fees, I think that is more than fair pricing. The only chips bought from the original sale were the $2s and $3s and I ordered like 5 different time to get hat many. totally oblivious at the time to set break downs. It was a good price so I kept buying more! LOL

If anyone is actually interested and feels I am not fair or wants a good chunk we can work something out. I can eat a few racks of $2s and $3s to make a sale happen! They are probably not very good but everything is better with hot sauce!! HAHA
 
I almost fainted when I saw this listing! It took me awhile to realize that you’re only listing the BCC set. I had briefly thought this also included the Paulsons and my heart was breaking for you.
 
What a great set! Some noob (or even vet) needs to scoop these up ASAP. A lot of hard work and effort went into not only putting the set together, but cleaning it. Really wish something like this was available when I first started. Whatever lucky buyer picks this up was just saved a lot of time and effort.

Very happy to see you’re keeping the Paulson’s Ben. I’m sure shit will turn around soon buddy. GLWS!
 
It sucks but as stated before (14) of the fracs are a lighter green! I guess they had 2 different runs?

I think a small loss is ok on these. It's a great beginner set... let's try $1,050 shipped if not they can go back in the cabinet in a couple days!

That's probably about as low as I can go on the whole thing.

Ben
 
Hey Bud, I can take all the $2s and .50 if it helps move these. I can try to make a $2 Limit set out of them. And the remainder set can be small cash with .25/$1/$3/$10
That sounds awesome Herman, let me run the numbers and make sure it leaves it playable which obviously it does but want to make sure it's not awkward. As you can see above I don't mind running numbers by hand! Lol

I will shoot you a PM this morning brother!!
 
So if Herman and I work it out on the $.50 and $2s that leaves us with 2 chunks left to sell.

Lot A.

A 700 chip set and just below breaking even $700 shipped in the US.
The breakdown would be good for a 10 player set and (19) $100 rebuys.

(100) $.25 (I paid $200 plus shipping, hand cleaned and oiled these!) $200
(147) $1s (I paid $1 a chip for some and $1.50 for the rest hand cleaned and oiled) $1.25 each = $180
(253) $3s ( I paid $.30 plus shipping, hand cleaned and oiled, they came filthy as others can tell you) $.35 each = $88
(200) $10s (I paid $1.50 per chip on these plus shipping twice and hand cleaned and oiled them) $300

$5 chips can be added from @Marc Hedrick at an additional cost as well. I all in have about $800 invested.

Lot B.

(294) x $3 chips cleaned and oiled $110 shipped or $30 a rack plus shipping

Take both Lots A and B 994 chips for $750 shipped OBO
