[Cidertown]

Looking for up to a rack of $1 secondaries in same condition as those shown below. All I need to fill out this sharp little cash set.

Nice set!

So not only do you want Unobtainium, you want the even rarer isotope of Unobtainium: Unicorium.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance.

Wow, the owner of that rack must have done some serious cherry picking! I have no idea if there are many out there in that condition, but good luck with finding some

It’s my rack. When I originally bought my Empress set from the Chip Room, half the $1s were in that condition, so no cherry picking required. Lucky me I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[w00zie]

Ah, got it. I thought it was not your pic That's pretty cool, the prim $1s I got from Jim were pretty worn, no chance for me to get a rack in such a good condition...

 

[intjester]

Sell me the worn ones!

Just thinking out loud here but what do you think about just selling the ones you already have, to say, oh, I don't know, maybe me. Now, I understand that this may sound counterproductive but, when you really think about it, it's a very good idea -- (of course you may need to be inside my head to grasp the full affect of how good of an idea it is) but, hear me out. If you sell them, then you can take the money you make off of them and start a new collection using more readily available chips -- nothing comes to mind right now, but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find something. See here's the problem with looking for "Empress Joliet's", and trust me, I live this everyday when I go to look for more chips for my collection, those of us with these chips, kind of like to hoard them. They basically become members of the family who eat way less than our children so at times we love them more -- okay, truth be told we love them more than our kids all of time.

So, anyway, like I said, I was just thinking out loud and thought I'd roll that by you just in case it sounded as good to you as it does to me.

Turning a Wanted ad into a For Sale ad. Beast.

No doubt enough money can buy the prize. I paid an ouchy price for worn one dollar Empress chips, and was happy to do it.

I think you would be well advised to make an appropriately large offer in hopes of attracting action. This is no time for cute negotiating strategies. You want something rare in the hands of someone who both knows the value and wants the item. Push a pile of money out there and see what happens.

And no, I am not a prospective seller, just offering advice, pron and best wishes -=- DrStrange

So you’re not going to just give up the time stone?

 

[DrStrange]

Would you take an apple flavor Jolly rancher candy? Perhaps not the Time Stone but plenty tasty.

Probably the best advice. I have had some success employing this strategy. I managed to obtain 60 extremely nice Taj Mahal $1s this way.
