Most expensive home set? (1 Viewer)

[Seeking Alpha Social Club]

Not even a fraction of $500k but definitely these. I'm still eating Top Ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Largest single-set price I know of was around $500K (cash and tourney chips).

Someone is using live Bellagio chips including the $20s and $100. Who was that crazy ass donkey?

Edit: Found Kadrik’s set of live chips. Not sure if this was the full set.

that's just his BAC set, and you add this with his 39mm set and now you talkin' huge

The $25k Dunes baccarat chips are about $300 each, and I think only two racks exist.

Spinettis $300 but I heard you can get them on avg for $100ish if you‘re willing to wait

my ten averaged around 88 each, but that has been awhile, so I think the price goes up

I think I scored one on eBay once for 49 , I was floored

How much was this? Are these custom TRK’s?

Yes. It was a 6,000 chip custom TRK Rounders set. Probably about $1.15 per chip in 2005 (maybe 2006), right before TRK closed down from what I understand. I still do not know who ordered the original custom set, but 3,000 of the 6,000 showed up in France in 2015 and were sold to a handful of PCFers. I bought 450 of them at that time, and shortly there after, @MegaTon44 did all the heavy lifting and headed out on a mission to accumulate all 6,000 of them. What I paid...nobody knows (well one person knows).

A recent chipchat auction was around $250-300 for one. Some bastard just got the 100-500-1000-5000-25000 combo on eBay BIN for $40, but I'm not sad I missed that or anything.

Right on... nice chips sir.

I wonder what happened to the original Rounders chips from the movie. Do people actually have sets of those, or just singles?

Thank you!

I have a couple, but that would be one expensive set. I don't think so, but I would LOVE to see that!!

Spotted HS Aztar Tourney set went for about $6 per chip for a set of approx. 600... (not mine / photo by @DrJohn)

It would be sick for sure. That movie basically started the modern craze for NLHE.

A TRUE PLEASURE and experience stacking these babies! They are so choice! If you have the time and the means, I highly recommend it!

I believe a set came up for sale recently and it sat in the classifieds for a long time and received some price chops too...could be wrong

I've never seen the chips in person, but they look pretty awesome.

 

[Coyote]

With the wisdom I 've amassed here, I see that, financially, probably the most reasonable and sound choice is to go get a bank of $10K to $20K of live chips from the casino(s) of your choice and, if ever back to life and to your senses, redeem them.

These high dollar sets will likely sell for at least what people paid if not more. I have lost money selling cheap sets (plastics, ceramics) but haven't lost a cent selling clays.

I’m just saying...I have a set of JACKs which fortunately didn’t cost me market price. But I watch people buying up $4,$5,$6, $10K sets....I have a really good job and I don’t have that kind of money. You all must be hedge fund managers and brain surgeons I guess...

Hedge Brain Manager ?

I own 8 or 9 premium sets (who's counting) and chipping is not even my most expensive hobby (not counting the wife & mistress).
It's all about dedication ...and timing
