People on this board are paying $30+ per chip for chips that are available in the hundreds. There is literally nothing ‘scarce’ or hard to find about almost all of the chips popular on this site. The chip you linked, I’ve never seen before. Truly a hard to find chip. Combine that with the pockets and you get $6000 chip.

guess it spoke for itself. Looks like 6 ballers still battled it out even after it hit 3k in bids.
from 1948
Its a z7 in the chip rack. $8100-$20,099 book price
Thats the third highest rating.
z8 goes to 99k then z9 is the highest. 100k+

What chips are z8 and z9? You know, just in case I find one at a garage sale or estate sale or something.

I remember that. It was a good story. She had it BIN'ed for $5 or something and a knowledgeable chipper sent her a message and told her that maybe she would want to switch it to an auction.

...and for this reason I can understand its value. Why peeps are paying / asking $50+ for CHS chips still eludes me however..

Some people would pay $6,000 for some strange.
I wouldn’t pay my wife that much.
Actually... I don’t pay for it at all! She’s missing out on lots of dough.

Oh she has got you so fooled. You are paying dearly for it. Not even quantifiable.
I remember on an old Pawn Stars episode a guy brought in a rare chip. The Old Man commented that he got burned on rare chips because someone would always find a box of them in their attic, or something like that.
You have to love that they put in $3 for shipping!! Also FeeBay and PayPal are loving this sale.
Fees =
FeeBay - $621.41
PayPal - $180.51

F@ck me, so somewhere there's a forum devoted to expensive chips?

It fetched this much because someone was willing to pay one penny more than the other guy willing to pay $6,211.10.
As someone who has paid $30+ a handful of times to finish a barrel on a deadline I can say it's all about people's willingness to pay a certain price at a certain time.
Only (3) in the chip rack 16. These are two of them ranked z8+.
Golden Goose and Lucky Casino
If you see the goose with the golden eggs don't leave the garage sale without it
The Thunderbird Chip is very cool. I had a snipe bid, but was way way too low.
At the Annual Chip Convention a few years back those very 2 chips were bought/sold in a private transaction. Per published reports, the Golden Goose $5 (only 1 known) reportedly sold for $75k and the Lucky Casino $5 (2 known) sold for $52k. At those prices, there is probably only 1 or 2 collectors that could afford to pay that much.
