[Wheeler Assembly]

OK friends, I would really appreciate your input on something. I've been buying up solids in order to have a custom labeled Wheeler Assembly cash set made. I now have just over 1200 chips that are in great shape but no idea what denoms to use for which color. I am not bound by standard chip colors for denominations. I plan to send to @Josh Kifer for milling and to @Gear for labels once i decide what to do.

My group typically plays $.25/$.50 or $.50/$.50 but I'd like to have the appropriate chips to play $.50/$1.00 or maybe even someday $1.00/$2.00.

My table seats 8 players comfortably.

My chip color breakdown is as follows:
White - 200
Red - 116
Day Green - 284
Hot Pink - 265
Gray - 40
Purple - 175
Blue - 150

I am willing to trade extras to complete barrels as well or even get rid of a color all together.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO??

Thank you in advance for helping a dumb old Okie out...

No it's ok I totally called him out for milking before

Consider a pink 2.50 chip.

How many racks of fracs do you usually put into play? I’ve heard from 80-200. I’m generally in the 100 camp now.

Blue frac
White $1
Pink $5 (if you can’t find more red)
Green $25 or Purple $20
Grey $100

That’s pretty good.

Though you could make any of the 100+ chip colors a frac, such as the reds and also make blues a $10 (if you were so inclined).

Keep 800:

Frac * Blue - 150
$1 * White - 200
$5 * Hot Pink - 250
$25 * Day Green - 150
$100 * Purple - 50

Sell:
Purple - 125
Red - 116
Gray - 40
Day Green - 134
Hot pink - 15

Or maybe keep the greys as NCVs / time tokens / whatevers

 

[FordPickup92]

@Wheeler Assembly may I recommend embracing the free bumps lol

 

[JustDave]

Cali colors?

Frac - Green
1 - Blue (you'd need more but blues are relatively easy to get
2.50 - Pink
5.00 - Yellow(might be tough)
20.00 Purple
100.00 Grey

0.50 - Green
$1 - Blue
$5 - Hot Pink
$20 - Purple

[FordPickup92]

Red .25
White .50
Green $1
Pink $2/$2.50
Purple $5
*charcoal $20*

 

[tabletalker7]

The only constructive advise I can give you is at .50/1 and 1/2 you will need a lot of 5's. Use the chip you have the most of for those.

 

[BSteck]

Cash:
Purple Frac (100)
White $1
Pink $5
Green $25
Gray $100 (20)

And tourney:
Green 25
Blue 100
Purple 500 (60'ish)
Red 1000
Gray 5000 (20)

[Wheeler Assembly]

let's bump this again this morning. I'm really appreciative of the recommendations so far...

How big does your game play? $100 buyin with rebuys?
You could always go less efficient and more fun and make:
25c
$1
$2
$2.50
$5
$10
$25

that's pretty close. Some will buy in short at $40 but then re-buy. About half will buy in for $100

Keep 800:

Frac * Blue - 150
$1 * White - 200
$5 * Hot Pink - 250
$25 * Day Green - 150
$100 * Purple - 50

Sell:
Purple - 125
Red - 116
Gray - 40
Day Green - 134
Hot pink - 15

I think this plan makes a lot of sense. You won't even need that many $25's given that your game is a little smaller. You could also sell all of the purples and grab some black/charcoal/brown's for a $100 as an alternative.

I want to thank all of you for your input.

I think I've settled on the following set up:
$.25 - Blue - 200 if I can find 50 more
$.50 - Pink - 300 if I can find 35 more
$1.00 - White - 300 if i can find 100 more
$5.00 - Day Green - 200 if I can find 80 more
$20.00 - Purple - 60
$100.00 - Gray - 40

Personally, I would swap the pink and green. The jumps from .25 to .50 to $1 are 2:1. You will never need that many .50. And even if you don’t use a lot of $5 now, you can future proof your set for when you may need more $5.

100x .50 will be plenty.
