So @BarrieJ3 when’s our $1k entry roulette spin for this set?

 

[joeyshin]

They have also been handled by @Highli99 which should command a premium from the most discerning forum buyers. GLWS!!

100% in. Started instantly thinking, what 24 people would go in for $1k.

Then I realized it’s a $25k set and couldn’t be bothered to take nice family set photos.

Too much reading and photos, I don’t even know what’s for sale.

Awesome set Chippy! Almost wish I hadn’t retired from collecting.
GLWS.

Sorry it was a spur of the moment thing, but I did clearly list what was for sale in the top thread. Here are a couple early family picks before a few add ons.

If I had the money, it would be no thought. Absolutely one of my grail sets to try and acquire.

 

[BarrieJ3]

Actually I forgot. @quintooo thoughts?

You get to pick ONE set.

 

[rjdev7]

I just came













to say.... GLWS!

I was seriously considering selling my car for this, but I think I need some post nut clarity first

Let’s get some offline feedback from chippers smarter than us.

But if it’s worth a conversation to you, I’m intrigued.

 

[rustycheerio]

what's the story behind em?

yea just of course these type of chips have only been sold privately so dumb ass buyers like us don't know if we're paying over or under

I don't think it's that (although I did indeed buy mine privately, back in 2017), I think it's just that they're so rarely up for sale at all. There's no hidden elite club, at least that I know about.

(I kid)

These chips are gorgeous and I hope they find a great home where they're appreciated =)

Absolutely, me too. This is THE grail set, to me. Oof. Being poor SUCKS

We’re always going to pay over.

But once they’re ours, price will never increase again, they’ll be felted, and they’ll move across chippers.

No one’s snap buying anyways. I’m chatting right now with work, we can decide next week when I’m back in Cali if this is the set we need.

The number of chip sets you’ve considered selling your car for is non zero and this isn’t the first

 

[WedgeRock]

Mapes sets don't come up often. Pounce now and worry about your kids college fund later!

Meh. This same set will be offered again.

... in another 8-16 years.

...and twice the price.

I remember complimenting @quintoo’s car at WaB. He immediately offered to trade it to me for Badlands
