You really have a complete set? (1 Viewer)

[2dollarbill]

I see people buying single barrels in the classifieds and I am still confused to as why? It seems extremely challenging to assemble a full set of chips of a single style this way. It doesn't seem that common to see people posting mixed sets so how are people assembling a full set? I also don't see complete sets up for sale that often either...

Most of my sets don't need a full rack of $100 chips, so, I can buy a barrel to compete my set. If your trying to build a set one barrel at a time it will take you much longer and usually cost more, but, by buying this way you can choose the best chips available so you don't have to cherry pick a rack and then unload the rest.

Sometimes the fun is in the chase. And the best chips are usually the hardest to find

For one of my tournament sets I need 220x T100 chips. Bought two racks in one deal and a single barrel in another. Then did a trade for 3 barrels of another denomination and only needed 2 so I sold a barrel.

Ahh this makes sense!

Where are people typically getting the start to the set? is that usually bought from a single seller and then you sell what you don't need and piece together the rest?

The set below took me about 7 years to assemble. Much of it a chip here, a chip there and on occasion I was able to acquire a few bigger pieces at once.

You will probably NEVER see this set for sale but if you did, the buyer would be paying no less than 6 figures for it.

If someone wants “Turnkey” on AWESOME, there is a “Turnkey” price for it. Otherwise, happy hunting to you.

You joined Saturday lol, not a huge sample size. Tons of complete sets go for sale, and mixed barrels can be relabeled to make a cohesive set.

 

[LeLe]

People also buy barrels for samples as well.

You need to hand on and see what you likes and dislikes too before making a big purchase

Or people sell off parts of a larger set that they don’t necessarily need. When putting together a complete set from multiple sellers, often times you end up with weird quantities or way more than you need with certain denominations.

I just love building mixed sets (or, more accurately, buying random chips hoping to put them into a mixed set eventually)

Wait until he finds out some people build racks one chip at a time.

Those are always the best sets.

Interested in one of the 2 spares you’ve got there

I've been building some sets, one chip at a time, for a long time. It can be very satisfying, but you got to have patience. And sometimes it starts by buying one barrel of chips. When you can piece together a barrel here, years later, a barrel there, then you finally complete a rack, and maybe it's a rack that you will never find in the wild, but over the course of years, you put one together.

Hope Lil Tuna doesn't mind, but, I just think this set deserves to be seen again, and again. GOD I LOVE TRK's!!! Image borrowed from Lil Tuna without his permission, hope he ain't mad.

So would $1000.00 do?
