Hi Everyone, revisting this site after a 7 year hiatus. Thought all my stats had been wiped but I had the site confused with CT (I'm suprised it's gone).

Been into poker since I was little, even made my own poker chip carousel type carrier in woodshop when I was in highschool.

Back in 2014 I was looking into getting a better set of chips and voraciously read the CT forum. Ended up getting a set of the china clays from Bay Area Poker just as they were closing up shop. Then went back and bought a bunch more chips from them.

Have to be careful not to get hooked into another collectable hobby, though chips don't take up nearly the space as pinball machines.

Hold on to your butt. These days, a set of chips will cost you more than a pinball machine.

I'm holding on . What's the range of prices on say a 1000 piece chip set?
Pinball machines roughly go for between $500 and $15,000.

I’d say roughly $500 to $15,000

There’s currently a 400pc set with an ask of $27.5k

Most new RHC/used THC 1000pc sets will run $2,500-$8,000+.

I’m not even joking. There are actually some decent custom ceramics coming out of China for something like 35 cents per chip. On the other end, if you could find somebody willing to sell you some minty leaded Paulson THCs, you’re probably looking at $15 per chip, give or take. But that’s more than double what they were selling for at this time last year, so the market is kind of in flux.

Pinball got way more expensive this year. The new pin I ordered two weeks ago was almost $9k Check out the Banning pinball auction prices from the last couple of weeks... yikes

Yikes is right on both counts! Hard to believe people were paying the Banning prices. Seems like everything is getting a lot more expensive these days.

MaxB, which machine did you get?
