I think I seen those the $5s and $25s

He kept asking me to make an offer so I just threw in the towel he claimed he had someone to buy all the $25s if we are talking the same dude

Yeah same guy I’m sure. I wonder if he ever posted on eBay, I gave up too.

Us too. But we drink.

Mine is a .50/$1 game, which shouldn't need more than 2 racks of $5s, which I currently have. But sometimes we get drunk, and next thing you know...we're pretty much playing $2/$5.

Now we play $0.25/$0.50 or $0.50/$0.50 so it can still get crazy but nowhere near as bad cause all these other cats just play strictly hold em

Classic case of someone not knowing what they had until 8million people pointed it out lol

It was a classic case of me going ape shit bananas the last 2 months on marketplace. I am really enjoying finding stuff online and in person that are vintage and not as expensive as the new sets. Trust me I would love to drop $2000 on that SY cash set with 200 $2's.

That's just too much for chips that are mostly wall dressing as of now. And I got burned out on casino sets. I like piecing them together but I just end up selling them a few years later when I get sick of them or need money weed, hoes or bail. If I get customs they kinda lose value so I end up keeping them.

Now I am at the point of snagging Grandad's chips for $85 and throwing in extra to sweeten the deal and pay for shipping from Timbuktu.

Only problem was when I found these I JUST had a talk with the old lady and she was nailing me about the $$ on chips lately. I had to explain why more $$ just came out for more chips....1,500 chips. I talked her off the ledge and I avoid having to sleep in the shed/fort I built in the backyard.

Anyways Then 30 mins later I see these Trop chips. I knew that if it was for real and this kid was ready for payment, I coulda shipped 2-3k and he woulda been doing backflips into Lake Minnetonka. And so would all of us! Except I'd be doing it into the Rouge River and coming out with a skin disease...

I really just was afraid of what my wife would say about me snap sending multiple thousands for poker chips. Even though I knew that a sick profit could be had I still was hesitant to ship it. Last week I bought some WSOP programs from the 90's for $20 and she burnt me up with cigarettes. She don't even smoke!

Plus, if this guy is a good dude and Grandpa Gerald,or whoever he is, needs the money, then they should get the max profits (within a sellable range obv) they can. They deserve the profits more than me. And dude said that Grandpa played cards and played with these chips. I think that is very cool and I wanna know more about the old coot! But I 100% think brokering a deal like this deserves some profit, especially if I need muscle when I do the exchange LOL. #Ermentrout

I run no cash games for these chips so they all would have got parted out to the 4 winds. If these sat around my place too long I would start milling them... psyche!

It's cool if someone gets them and sells them off for decent amounts. If they get hoarded up that's a shame.

I been up early and scouring marketplace all the time. You guys have been seeing the shit I been getting. I get pretty lucky/blessed with these folks and they like sending me their chips! if I run into a monster grail set I can make some bigger moves. I've talked to a local dude and we have a backing deal and wife has opened up the credit line to your boy.

If our friend Ford honors dibs and lets me at them, I am currently sitting on $5K to offer him. I also have a pick up guy that lives 20 mins from the seller and is driving to me next week.

This sounds eerily familiar. Maybe this is a resurrected ad from a few years back

Brother...PM me next time. I'll snap buy them and we will split the profit on the resale of the extras.

Looks like some kid snagged a ton of these. Listed at $1 a chip but he's negotiable. Have not made any contact with seller or seen a pic of all the chips. GOOD LUCK THESE ARE SO NICE
