What's the most you have paid for a large home set?

Some people have paid 10k for one home set. All depends

Nice try, GPI employee that's trying to weed out which employee commissioned the most recent unauthorized home market chips. I'm not going to rat anyone out.

Kidding aside, I've spent on average about $2.50 a chip on my Jack Detroit cash set that I've been building. Comes out to about $1800 for a 800 chip set.

I've heard and seen some here paying well over $5 and up to $8 a chip for sets in my short time here.

I thought the OP was talking about home chip lines/fantasy sets but I see how there’s possible confusion

I’m sure some people have bought thousands of chips at one so it’s more than $5,000 but sky’s the limit.

Some people have easily spent 5 figures to get one large, matched set.

I'm a total piker. My CDI98 set is probably approaching 1800 chips (including the murder/relabels) so I'm guessing that's about $4200 spent, maybe a little more.

Biggest set I've spent about 2k.

Most ambitious project I’ve ever seen: Tropicana First Edition TRK set. @41Pickup

Truly a labor of love and exercise in patience.

Is this the right time to ask the blue fish??

 

[Beakertwang]

About $500 all in for 1600 8V's, including racks, shipping, and custom labels.

Most expensive that wasn’t dice chips?

$1049 but it included some extras.

[SixSpeedFury]

I believe it was Courage with his Dune chips. $10k+ I think it was.

 

[Beakertwang]

@Changster has a monetary unit named after him after he purchased the the Gulfport set. 1 changster=$10K

 

[Thomacetti]

I believe it was Bergs with his Dune chips. $10k+ I think it was.

FYP ?

I've bought several sets at $5K+, and I sold a large PCA set for $11K to a PCFer.

Largest single-set price I know of was around $500K $240K (cash and tourney chips).

Wow, $500K? Was it here on PCF. What type of set was it. Or history of the set/casino?

If I had to guess I'd say ACF

 

[samutsa]

5 figures, not me.

I have seen pictures of vintage ivory sets that must have been worth a fortune. Single chips sold for hundreds of Dollars each < back when it was clearly/easily legal to buy and sell such things > .

I had an opportunity to chase after a "low end" ivory set in an auction, but once I studied how much it might cost, I decided I was way, WAY out of my depth. I wouldn't be shocked to see six figures or more should a nice set change hands for cash.

I normally think chip sets are meant to be used. However, it might be hard to keep that point of view with antique chips worth $500+ each.

Maybe I would feel differently after I earned my first billion -=- DrStrange

My Dunes set has been pieced together over many years, should be my highest cost

 

[FDLmold]

Not mine. But here is over $20-25k.

Wow!! Who owned this set? I've never seen this picture before.

 

[72o]

FYP ?

Yup. Just an amazing set to play with. I think it was valued at $13,000 or so.

 

[ADS Aviator]

My wife keeps asking how much I spent on my Dunes set. My response, "why ask the question, when you know the answer will only upset you?"

 

[Anthony Martino]

was it @RainmanTrail that had a set of live casino chips he acquired for use as a home game set?

I was thinking that was the highest I could think of until @BGinGA mentioned a single set worth half a million, jesus!

Answering a question with a question, Great Move!

Someone is using live Bellagio chips including the $20s and $100. Who was that crazy ass donkey?

Edit: Found Kadrik’s set of live chips. Not sure if this was the full set.

That was kadrik.

He has redeemed them. Sadly.

The second Dunes set above that @72o posted, notice the $500 and $1000 chips are NOT baccarat chips. Bergs had those I believe. The set I posted was all Baccarat. The $25k Dunes baccarat chips are about $300 each, and I think only two racks exist.
