How many samples did you buy before taking the leap? (1 Viewer)

Zero…

I live in Australia and shipping kills any sort of feasibility with samples.
I was read posts on the forums for months before pulling the trigger though.

My thought process was if I don’t like em someone else will and they have decent resale value.

Lucky for me it all worked out.

Yea these chips were so bright even Hellen Keller could see that they're the best lol. No samples needed.

Cool.

I found similar when looked at samples. International postage about $20 for each sample purchase. So ordering several adds up quick.

My first set I bought zero samples. It was a mistake as it was a custom set and I have issues with dirty stacks. Def won’t make that mistake again.

I didn’t get samples. I did the classic stumble upward from full sets of dice chips to slugs to Paulson solids to spotted RHCs to spotted THCs, with some vintage H-molds and a suits mold set along the way…

And once I got done with all that trial and error… started collecting sample sets, lol.
