Traded My (300) Sturm Ruger Set for your ... (1 Viewer)

I've had a bunch of PMs/interest in this super cool set, so offering it up for trade to see if anything interesting comes of it.

Sturm, Ruger & Co. employee gift travel set ... leaded THCs with textured inlays that are tough to beat for gun & chip enthusiasts. Pretty sure they don't pop up too often. Set consists of:

• (50) .50s
• (100) $1s
• (100) $5s
• (25) $25s
• (25) $100s

Open to ideas with top priority given to trades including Aztar .50s, Aurora Star .25s, LCO $2s (a boy can hope), or other THCs. Only RHC interest would be a killer frac option for Aransas Queens.

Fire me an offer, my DMs are open. Headed to USPS tomorrow, so show me what you got!

This is the set that the guy was selling for $5k on eBay? You bought it?

 

[aggie]

Oh lord no.

 

[Highli99]

Love these, wish i had something desireable to offer.

 

[aggie]

@Windwalker to expand, I've had these for quite a while and definitely not via eBay.

I know of a few floating around on PCF and at least one who's put together a double set. I vaguely remember an eBay discussion about an overpriced set a while back, but $5k is news to me. Maybe I missed my chance to undercut the seller at $4.5k?

For those interested (so you don't think you're walking into a landmine), I value them right around CDIs for obvious reasons, maybe slightly higher due to rarity and because the story's pretty compelling for a subset of enthusiasts.

That set on eBay went for $1440.00 with case and cards.

 

[JesterTX]

$1450.00 is the correct price.

How about a 500 piece set of Scandia from $1 to $500 in excellent condition?

A double set of those would be all I would need for the rest of my life (and I don't even care about guns.)
Those are about as good as it gets.

Aren’t these the exact same as CDI 98s, done as a promotional item for rifle company?

 

[aggie]

Aren’t the Dodgers the exact same as other MLB teams, just with a different logo?

BTW I’m a buyer of a second set at $1450.

My question was more academic, since a few have been talking about, including @upNdown saying it would put him into chipping retirement. I wondered if there was anything historically significant about this set.

No, I think you're right. But these are far more rare and obscure.
(The embarrassing truth is that I've never cared for CDIs. I don't like their inlay and I don't understand why so many people love them)

 

[fishsaybloop]

Wow that scandia set

 

[aggie]

I do see your point. For a gun enthusiast, it’s a slam dunk answer.

Aside from that, I think the set just checks a lot of boxes … perennial American company made for another perennial American company, great spots, leaded, an actual attractive label, unique enough from a home game security perspective, etc. At a slight premium over CDIs, I can see the appeal even for non-gun lovers.

Anyone who might carry a ruger every single day or anyone that owns a 10/22 or seven of them would love this set. Not that i know anyone like that.

Or named their dog Ruger.

Fine. I'll get in the back of the line.

Interesting chips, good luck.

Yes, same colors and spots as CDI98. Good murder candidates.

I agree, CDIs are perfect murder candidates to expand this set.

If I misunderstood, I’m also happy to offer 3:1 odds these won’t be murdered by the next owner.

Lol.

 

[aggie]

Lol.

It’s ok, I have some weird passion projects that skew my own view of reality, as well. Sometimes all it takes is a lopsided bet to reset my perspective … glad I could help.

 

[CrazyEddie]

I recall the last set that came up for discussion on PCF. Glad to see there's at least a few people here who can make a good home for this kind of set.

BA-CAWK!
