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.
Yeah we use to be like that we played $1/$1 or $1/$2 and we would play No Limit Omaha with 1 sometimes 2 wilds talk about a crazy game esp when people drunk wild nights lol then don't get me started with drinking SO HE hahahUs too. But we drink.

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 emUs too. But we drink.

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.

Brother...PM me next time. I'll snap buy them and we will split the profit on the resale of the extras.
Here is the story about my helping @navels with a similar deal in the Twin Cities. Tropicana chips were definitely here:

So what you're saying is, "there's a SHIT TON of these out there."

I was in contact w/ the guy up until last week. He was gonna give me a chance to match the highest bid at $4 a chip. He said that was the highest he's been offered. I told him I can only do $3/ chip and that is stretching it.
We were talking after he took the post down. He sent me more pics of the $5 Trops and also an additional 1,500 chips that he found. Bunch of house molds 5's and $25's. These are also in 4 bank bags just like the other half of the hoard.
Last attempt at comms from me was on Turkey day. Message is still on sent. Hope everything is ok with him.

He was supposed to send me pics but never did. We're the pics he sent you authentic? Can you show us what he sent you?

Sorry John. Wife must of deleted them...

They'll show up somewhere. Somebody snipered these
Did you not learn your lesson the first time lol. Sharing this information is just going to hurt your chances.
The seller marked the post as sold and has stopped corresponding so I think asking if anyone here bought these isn't hurting anyone's chances.
OP

This is what I believe as well. The reason he hasn't gotten back to me is because he is in Acapulco smoking the gold and counting hundos. lol Good for him and his Granddad.
Of course I did! You know that. Now I only share stuff that is out of reach to me or a dead end I already chased down. Everything I have going on currently is between me and friends. The days of open posting stuff that is still being negotiated are over. If someone beats me to a find the old fashioned way I'm cool with that. The game is the game.
Well keep me in mind for any Northeastern Pennsylvania finds!
But you’re still negotiating with him and sharing details. That’s only going to make it more difficult. As well as bumping this thread. Especially if you have an open line of communication w him!
