Someone put a bid in, so no more BIN. It will be interesting to see if these end up exceeding the original BIN price.

The pictures show 2 racks of dimes, but the description lists only 100. I don't see someone wanting a rack of custom dimes for another set.
I emailed the seller and he confirmed that the description is correct, only 1 rack of ten cent chips is included.
I do remember seeing these on CT.
It is a nice set and I'm thinking of bidding on it, but not if goes much above the current price. If I am going to drop a $1,000 on customer chips I am might as well order them from CPC myself and get an inlay and colors I exactly want.
With 300 of the chips being solids and 900 of them level 1 edge spots, I just don't see the set being worth $1k or more with the pretty personalized inlay. Am I off base?

Yes. The BIN of $1000 for ~1300 chips is very obviously less than $1 per chip without doing any calculation at all (although it works out to about 77 cents per chip.)
New inlaid solids are 1.06 and it goes up from there.
Here's the math at current prices. I'm rounding the 98, 401, etc to nearest 100.
10c solid, 100 @ 1.06 = $106
25c solid, 200 @ 1.06 = $212
$1 level 1 spot, 400 @ 1.45 = $580
$5 level 1 spot, 400 @ 1.45 = $580
$25 level 2 spot, 100 @ 1.63 = $163
$100 level 3 spot, 100 @ 1.82 = $182
Total $1823
If you liked these colors and spots, and got these chips at $1000 BIN, you could replace the inlays with laminated labels at 0.15 each and save $433.
1000 + (2 * 1300 * 0.15) = $1390
Just sayin'.

If you were going to go through all of the work to remove the labels why not just by blanks from CPC?
Solid blanks are .85
Level 1 blanks $1.19
Level 2 blanks $1.37
Level 3 blanks $1.56
So the savings isn't as much as you state, and a lot less work too.

My bad, I didn't know that. No recess?

Correct. Some of the molds have a very shallow recess, maybe enough for a very thin label (unlaminated), but most do not. Horsehead-mold blanks have effectively no recess at all.
If the racks were all full with a couple extras I'd be interested. The few short chips would tilt the shit out of me.
These were always favorites of mine on CT. Really too bad he's selling, but this is one of the few personalized sets that I could see working well in others' hands.

Agreed. One of the reasons I posted the auction instead of snapping it up myself
Also agreed!

Indeed it is. Not a fan of the auctions. I may have snap called at that price.

Wow this could be a great set depending on the hammer price. I don't even care about the unevens. Brooklyn is my home away from home too. Hmmmm
Likewise, if I didn't already have an ASM set with roughly the same breakdown, I'd have pounced at these. Always liked the rather classic design of inlays and edgespots, and the breakdown is good too.

I was going to say something really stupid like, "why can't you mill your own recess for labels?" Then remembered that's a crap ton of chips to mill.

The fdl blanks don't have enough recess for a label? They seemed perfect to me with that smooth inner region.

Only a master of evil, Darth a very thin label. Certainly not enough room for a laminated label.
Final price was $790. About $150 more than I was hoping they would go for, but $210 less than the BiN price.
So who got them????

Not I. Although I was watching the auction at work and was prepared to go about $100 more what they went for but I spaced and they got away. More of an excuse to get customs.
