You’ll rarely find a good deal on eBay, compared to what you can get in the classifieds, here.
Dos and donts? There aren’t a lot of them. There are some guys here who post pictures of chipsets that they’re proud of, and there are other here guys who wouldn’t touch those sets. But who cares what any of those guys think? Spend some time looking around here, and see what you like.
My personal guidelines? Get actual clay chips, all from the same manufacturer on the same mold. Keep your denominations 4x-5x apart, each in a distinct color, preferably with edge spots. Get a rack of blind chips, 2-4 racks of each of the next two denominations, and however many of a 4th denom you need to round out your bank. Fewer than 700 chips isn’t enough and more than 1000 per table is overkill. But who cares what I think?
And this Presidents’ Day sale link is the shit. This prices were on the high side when these chips were listed for sale, back in January of 2020. But it is almost literally a different world now. Chip price inflation has out-paced plywood and gasoline and so those once-upon-a-time high prices are stone cold bargains today.

Welcome to PCF. The best way, IMO, is to catch one of Jim’s sales from The Chip Room. If you have the patience, many suspect he’ll be having another sale soon. Depending on the casino that is liquidating, there can be a large supply of often attractive chips to pick from at very reasonable prices. Or you can catch a set sale in the Classifieds that come up pretty frequently if you just gotta have a set quickly. Lots to see and pick from here.
When building a cash set, the most difficult denom to get in quantity are the $5. Most of the time you can find $25 and $1 are harvestable from casinos. $5 can be a real batch.
Best to keep your eyes open and see what sort of stuff is out there that's being traded back and forth.

FYP. The rest is spot-on, though.

So, it's normal to have different demon's from different casino chips? If so I kind of like that but am also a lil OCD thinking they should all be from the same casino. Also, how do I know if they are from the same mold & have the same dimensions/ weight etc with so many different ones out there?
It is normal for collectors here to have “mixed sets,” (different denoms from different casinos) for a variety of reasons. I think it’s safe to say that matched sets are still preferred to mixed sets, but opinions vary.
And although the majority opinion in mixed sets is probably “matching molds are better,” it’s always worth mentioning that plenty of casinos have live chips on the same table from different manufacturers. So do what you like - it’s tough to do something wrong.
How do you know if manufacturers and molds match? Well, we’re pretty friendly here, and some of us have nothing better to do than talk about chips for way too many hours in the week, so you can always ask. But if you’re planning on owning some nice chips, you should understand what you have. So hang around here, read, do searches, and learn.
Welcome to the forum!
414…….you in the great state of Wisconsin originally?
If you think a mixed set will be a distraction to you, you’ll find plenty of matched sets on here, either together or by the rack. It really is whatever you prefer.

Ok, makes sense to me. I just wanted a bright/ vibrant paulson set & didn't know I would have to learn so much to give my money away but I'll hang around for a while.
Thanks!

Appreciate the welcome! I haven't edited my location but I'm from Louisiana. I don't mind a mixed set but looking for bright colors & chips the same size so they will fit in the same case.
