Indeed, I did not expect to be in the position to make such a post, but here we are. And it breaks me a little.

It took me a good effort to put together this (I believe) beautiful set of JDs: amazing help from a few great chippers that I will always feel indebted to, a trip to the US to retrieve them, and some luck. Sadly, my poker group permanently disbanded just about two weeks after I brought the chips home... I have been able to felt them once. And it was a lot of fun.

It is a pity to let them go, but I see no chance to play them in the future. My friends either dropped the hobby or go play in clubs now. Yes, I could keep them on my desk and look at them, which I already do :) and they look wonderful. But at this point, if someone can make better use for them, that'd be great.

Ok, enough with the back story. The actual set:

- 200 $1
- 200 $5
- 100 $25 (watermelons)
- 80 $100 (primary)
- 20 $500 (primary)
Total: 600 pieces

I assembled it to be perfect for a cash game, either short-handed or full ring. The 500s add quite some depth (and are beautiful!).

Price asked: €2700 + shipping. Chips are in Europe.

To be honest, I am not trying to make money out of this, just to get back what I paid.

I'm selling the full set as 1) it would be less hassle for everyone involved and 2) it takes a while to form a nice full set like this, it would be a pity to break it.
I will consider splitting in the future, if I can't find a buyer.

PS. I also have six Apache-equivalent racks, which I'm leaving out of this sale for now. But if somebody is interested, I can sell those as well.

My dad once said, "Dont sell something you like unless you really, REALLY need the cash. Otherwise, the item will be gone, you'll spend the cash...and be left with neither."

I say keep them, they're beautiful.

I say this all the time. On multiple occasions during my chipping journey, my bank balance has nearly dipped into the negative. My wife would tell me, 'Sell your chips—why are you holding on to them?' My response was always something like yours: 'I could sell, pay off my bills, end up with no chips, rack up more bills, and be back at square one. That's not the solution.'

Anyway, I digress. I love these Jack Detroits—they’re the ones that got me into chipping. It’s always tempting to buy them back, and if I did, they’d never leave my collection again. They’re one of the finest, if not the finest, RHC sets out there.
 
you guys are making me have second thoughts ^^' at the moment I have one person potentially interested on the set, let's see how that goes then i will reassess ;)

100% certain there's more than one person interested. Just not expressing interest with everything going on around here right now.
