Big dawgs, big guns, with eyes set on big prize. This is going to be exciting. I'm on the sideline here, but these sure are beautiful chips. Go get 'em, big guns!

 

[MegaTon44]

That should just about cover the $5's.

Dave has a PhD in Mindfucking

 

[Big Jilm]

Don't count me out dog. If I get this set, it might just catch me up to Dave's set!

 

[Heavyball]

I think its safe to say that "current market rate" probably isnt going to apply here...

 

[TheBigTater]

I know I'm realistically not going to be able to hang with the big dawgs on this one. I'll be watching the rest of the show from the sidelines.

Should I have said "Big Taters, big guns..."??

 

[BGinGA]

I'm sure others have bigger guns than mine, but I do have some big taters.

 

[Dr. Matt]

I "watched" this thread just to see what you psychos do

This is awesome!

 

[ssanel54]

Hey, remember when you could get these for a buck a chip...

Beautiful set, GLWA, although it looks like you're off to a good start

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

I was fortunate enough to be there the one time you did put them in play! Awesome chips! Someone is going to win a great set!
GLWA, Mark! It looks like you're off to a great start!(y) :thumbsup:

I paid $0.60/chip for a few racks of the $1's I have when Jim was clearing them out. Those were the days!

 

[bivey]

I lasted five minutes. That's longer than usual.

By 2 whole minutes

 

[kk405]

The buyers here are really out of their mind and not good with the auction process, especially one with a week left in it. The early bidders in this thread should get a gun a shoot themselves in the foot... just to complete the fun.

OMG, no wonder there is so much money in live poker

Damn. What happened to doctor-patient confidentiality?

Damn. What happened to doctor-patient confidentiality?

Your wife didn't say anything about that being medically sensitive information!

 

[RainmanTrail]

You guys are funny. I was just trying to fix the typo in the starting price.

 

[BGinGA]

I estimated it being worth about $4,500 to 5,000 when I first saw it

I'd peg it a little lower (between $3500 and $4200), but those numbers go out the window when dealing with motivated or desperate buyers.

 

[Ghoti]

Dammit, pre-coffee hangover morning fog and thought this was a raffle

 

[RainmanTrail]

... I estimated it being worth about $4,500 to 5,000 when I first saw it, but it is almost there now...

That's more than they've ever sold for in the past. I'd be out if it got that high.

 

[Matthieu]

If I just can get my hands on 2 of those nice racks of $5's.......that would be awesome!

GLWA(uction)

 

[Rhodeman77]

I'd peg it a little lower (between $3500 and $4200), but those numbers go out the window when dealing with motivated or desperate buyers.

I was estimating the $1's at $2 each (slightly high I think) and the rest at an average $3.50 each, probably slightly low, but covered by the higher price of the $1's.

For a total price of $4,550.

I can see a premium being paid for getting a playable set all at once. Especially considering how many people have been looking for ANY $5's to finish a playable set.

 

[BGinGA]

I used these price ranges for chips in mint/near-mint condition:
$140-180 - $1
$280-320 - $5
$240-280 - $25
$400-500 - $100

I can see a premium being paid for getting a playable set all at once.

Absolutely. Sales of large intact playable sets are rare.

 

[softchewy]

Really just need these as add ons to my current PCA set...

 

[TheBigTater]

Absolutely a turn-key set. Ready to be put in play for someone. Only thing missing is some fracs. I just keep coming back and looking at these.

 

[Smiff]

I'm a slow starter.......hidden in the crowd during most of the middle......but a very strong finisher.

Like Dave Hester in Storage Wars....we're gonna see a "Yuuuuup" come fly out of nowhere at 2:59 MT

Time to re-visit this thread for some history.

The 1s are RHC? Is that because people like to take 1s home and don't see fracs very often?

Either way, awesome chips! Even if I could bid, I wouldn't because I'd rather they get played too!

Well... if I were really loaded, maybe I would, just to see them for a few days...

 

[Dr Newnham]

Really just need these as add ons to my current PCA set...

Or you could just sell them to me and you won't need to worry about completing the PCA ;] Such a relieve!!

 

[joxx12]

Dang!

 

[Rhodeman77]

Looks like the actual bidding in this thread has died down. Guessing we won't see anymore until the last 10 minutes of the auction now.
