Sold 100 x Paris $1 chips - Ends 9pm CDT Tue 04/23 (1 Viewer)

Here is a rack of Paris $1s harvested off the tables and ultrasonically cleaned by me. Judge the condition for yourself, but these were the best ones that I found. I've included 4 pics of the rack (barrels turned 1/4 turn each pic) & an individual pic of a randomly selected chip from each barrel.

2. Bids must be placed using numbers (no images), in whole dollars, and in minimum increments of [ $1 ]
3. NO RESERVE. The Starting Bid of this auction will be treated as the Reserve Price.
4. All bids are to be placed openly in this thread. No bids via PM/Conversation.
5. No bid edits or bid retractions permitted. (note: ALL edits are logged instantly)

Yeah. After I posted I, realized that I probably should have just attached thumbnails of the 5 chips. It's my first auction here. I'll know better next time.

Wow! I’m feeling better about paying what I did for mine when I did now! Beautiful chips, nice job on the harvest.

I wonder if Paris notices their supply getting smaller

How many Paris $1s are in the homes of PCF'ers, do you think? 3000? 5000?

I think 5000 would be a good guess. I'm guessing that's a drop in the bucket, though. With 40 million visits to Vegas each year, if one in a thousand wind up coming home with one in their pocket that's 40,000 chips a year walking out the door.

 

[liftapint]

Good point!!

 

[ADS Aviator]

So, I think I need to pause for a second.

Under shipping, I specified US only. I'm not shipping internationally. As DerberAlter is in the EU, I don't think his bid is valid. Therefore @crussader you have the high bid of $275

This is my first auction, so go easy on me. If you don't think this is appropriate, l am sorry. I'm trying to act in good faith on this.

 

[crussader]

I thank you for your good faith. That being said I bid/re-bid $300.

I’m not looking to create any more auction drama, and it’s good that you are addressing potential issues before they arise, but it’s entirely possible for an international auction winner to have the chips shipped to a friend in the US to abide by auction rules. Did you ask him if he required int. Shipping before cancelling his bid?

I'm gonna guess at least double this. @pltrgyst has 1200 I believe. I have 200+ (not a brag as I know there are several other large private amounts). When I was there a few weeks ago even the worst were not in horrible shape

 

[Lemonzest]

Yeah they probably lose 5k chips per year. But who knows.
