Ok, there's more chips here than I would ever need. Based on the couple photos, they seem to be in decent condition. No denominations. I don't really need them, but still vintage clay chips are cool. These were bought for something bigger that a typical home game.

Price ($500) appears very reasonable, especially if the seller can give me a tale about the history when I can eventually get by to look at them.

Plus, it's plenty of ammunition to learn how to mill chips....

At first glance, I thought you had 2,000 chips there. I was gonna say that 25 cents per chip is a great price and if you like them and think you can use them, you should grab them. But that even though it’s a great price, I probably wouldn’t buy them, because I had no use for them personally.

But then I tried to count. You’ve got at least 4,000 chips there. That means you’d be getting compression clays at slugger prices. And there’s enough there to make 3 limit sets, if you can’t find another way to use them. So yeah, I’d buy those for sure.
 
I should be in his area within a couple of weeks, so we'll see if he's cool with holding for me to get there.

I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something obvious. A friendly Do It always helps. I didn't post the Classics with PCF help because I knew more about them. Now just to trade/increase the playability of the set.

run don't walk.

one of my favorite molds. you could easily resell a couple sets here quickly if you dont mark them up too much. , keep a set for yourself basically free.
 
Well --- it's more a why didn't someone else already grab them :p

I figured you all had programs running, checking every sales/auction site already. lol.
 
SQDISQ in that quantity for $500 is a good deal if you have a purpose for them. Not unreasonable to break apart and sell for $0.25-0.50 per chip depending on condition.

That's like 15 of us. The rest are just randomly looking and hoping.
 
Grabbed them today. Too lazy to bring into hotel room as Cape weather should be cool enough to prevent additional damage.

Some damage and warping. Will have to evaluate further when I have space to sort, but plenty in good shape. Hopefully they clean up nice.

Many HMolds in the orange. Not sure other colors. Didn't find any yet. Is the cracking from stamping or something else? Was common on the HMolds, but didn't see any on DSS.

Buyers remorse in a few months when I haven't finished cleaning them.
