Well, time to put these lovelies up for auction! This is for ONE rack. If the auction hits at least $1500, then the winner has the option to buy a second rack at the same price.
There are 25 LCV and 175 SCV. I will make sure that the rack sold in this auction is all SCV if the winner wants.

 

[DirtyTIVA]

$1000. All SCV.

 

[Gorbash]

$1000. All SCV.

Any chance you spend all of your PayPal money on this auction thereby leaving you unable to compete in the $500 rack auction

1050 participation bid

1050 participation bid

I don’t know whether to be sad, or stunned, or happy (or all three) that $1,050 for a rack of these is considered a “participation bid”!

Two years ago he could have bid $500 on top of that $1050 and it still would have been a participation bid, so this feels much more reasonable haha .

Hoard alert

I DID NOT know you were a single chipper!

I also did not know that single chippers consider 40 chips to be “hoard”. I thought it took 100 chips to qualify as a “hoard” with the cc&gtcc crowd, as I learned when I lucked into getting a rack of ancient Las Vegas Club black horseshoe mold 10¢ chips several years back.

Is that 40 chips in the pic??? Or 40 barrels???

As for SCV and LCV, I personally love the hot pink. And SCV are hotter than others. But at the direction of whoever wins, if they just take one rack, I'll do my absolute best to make sure the chips are as consistent as possible to their preference.

Do you have 40 $1k’s to show us ?

 

[ski_ex5]

Do you have 40 $1k’s to show us ?

A good number more than forty, actually. Would you prefer to see LCVs or SCVs? Primary or SECONDARY???

Ummm… wait… While I have plenty Empress $1k chips to do a fake “wall o’ chips” photo, I do NOT have the necessary Blaze Orange “Guest Stars” to fill out eight racks! Whoops! Going from memory (never a good plan), I *think* the only other Blaze Orange 39 mm chips I have are some Outpost $2 chips, and I sure don’t have anything close to eight racks of those!

 

[UniLover]

$1,269

Getting to the final stretch! Auction ends tomorrow night. Set your alarms now

Is that 40 chips in the pic??? Or 40 barrels???

Whoops… Sorry I somehow missed this question. I’m somewhat surprised anyone would ask how many chips are in the photo.

If you zoom in on the photo, you can clearly see that there are 40 barrels of chips - that’s 800 actual poker chips in the photo.

I trust that clears up any misunderstandings.

"I also did not know that single chippers consider 40 chips to be “hoard." That's what had me confused....

Yummy hundos!

"I also did not know that single chippers consider 40 chips to be “hoard." That's what had me confused....

Forgive me if you already realized any of this (I’m just trying to clear up any remaining confusion)…

• There are 800 total $100 chips in the photo.
• There are 40 Empress $100 secondary chips (all visible) in the photo.
• I’d honestly never heard the single chippers refer to 40 chips as a “hoard” before.

“Guest stars” (uncredited, just like Gene Hackman as the old man in “Young Frankenstein”):

• Beautiful LCV Empress PRIMARY $100s
• Casino Miami $100s
• Dunes $100s
• Palm Beach Cruise Line $100s
• Condado Beach $100s
