This is not a thread crap, and I really do hope it doesn't come across that way.

I'm having trouble understanding where $8900 comes from in terms of per rack pricing. Could you break down what this would look like in terms of per rack price? I've owned a lot of these chips over the years and curious on what the current rack pricing looks like on these chips

Fair question I guess. Well, I don't really have a per chip/per rack price. I kinda know what recent sales went for, started there then decided how much above that I would need to get to make me sell. I didn't price these to quickly sell as much as price to make me let them go. That and as was stated above, this is a turn key complete grail set that will satisfy most any cash game most of us will ever play. That convenience also comes with a premium in my eyes. So are they above individual market price? Yup. Can you put this same set together in the next 9-12 months? Doubtful.

How much above market would you sell your favorite set for?

Not likely to part with my favorite(s) but it's a good question and not sure I have an answer for that one.

And thank you for clarifying, I really just wanted to know what these chips are currently selling for per rack which is why I asked

Depends on your intent. Release desired chips back into the community that arent seeing any play or PR0F1T$? Given the current state of the hobby I'd say its generally a mixture of both for most people.

Markets move in both directions. Currently chip prices seem to be moving upwards. So to answer your original question id would say 10% above what ever the market is it at the time. If you are wanting FROR Id be inclined to sell them to someone you know and trust at a price you can afford in the future if you want to buy them back someday. Like the good ol'days.

There are no right or wrong answers just 2021 chipper dilemas.

GLWS.

I WHOLLY feel your reasoning!!!! I am struggling with the same issue on my first and favorite set of all time... Pictures all ready to go etc.... It doesn't get the play and its years of hoarding! Others are trying to build it and mine sits! If I actually pull the trigger I'm sure ill hear the same type of comments! It'll prolly happen tonight or never one of the 2!! GLWS!!! I hope you have to keep it or get what your asking!

Some people value sets more than the sum of the pieces - it cuts down on work, especially for chips that are hard to find. If OP still has the pca 1s I think that would probably make it more appealing for would-be buyers. It’s hard to find any of this stuff.

Agree. As much as a set price can get a discount, a full set can also demand a premium. If it’s exactly what the buyer wants, it saves a ton of time and work.

maybe we should just swap sets? ;) whatcha got?

5s are also very hard to find. Maybe they sell around $5 a chip when they pop up once in a blue moon but let’s be realistic if you wanted to put together a PCA set it would take many, many hours of trying to track them down piece by piece.

Or Windwalker about an hour.

I think we can all relate to this question. Theoretically, I’d say no amount if we’re talking an outright sale, but I suppose everyone has a price.

I think, for me, when it comes to “grail” sets, I’d be much more inclined to trade rare sets for other rare chips/sets.

Unreasonable

$5/chip is what they used to sell for before things got crazy around here…as for right now, no idea, they just don’t pop up, ever.

@arch3r awesome set man! GLWS!

Re: $5/chip …

Hope I don’t regret this, but here’s a reference point: I paid (at least) twice that for $5/25/100s ~3 months ago and the sales ad had backup interest plus several chippers in my DMs pressing me hard for spare $5/25/100s … not to mention the prior run on them that had already steeled most owners’ resolve not to sell.

I’ll save the suppositions for the masses, but putting new Jack $1s @ a consistent $4-5/chip (unleaded, unshaped, un-storied), each remaining rack is currently priced at ~$1500. Snap buy? Doesn’t appear so, but put a WTB out for PCA $5/25/100s at, say, $10/chip and see how far you get. I’m confident that auctions for individual racks wouldn’t stop there.

I will add a personal bias that most of the demand for mint, leaded, shaped, storied casino chips (PCAs in particular) seem to be from those finishing their sets versus starting them, so no splits in this case may be a hindrance.

In any case, hopefully this is received as a genuine data point for those with honest questions and not seen as a slight on @arch3r’s sales thread.

GLWS. I know this is a grail set for many.
