$85 per chip (2 Viewers)

I haven’t paid $85+ for many single chips, but it’s not a too crazy number. Sometimes a chip gets hot, and if you want one, you have to pony up. I think I saw a $20 Nevada Lodge go for $200 on FEEbay recently?

Indeed. Wants have thresholds shaped in “buy now” buttons :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Ask me about the Stupak $100 hot stamp in the mail….. My WANT took over my reason:wtf:
 
I know my thread probably flabbergasted most of you, and I know the Market is volatile as are the buyers, sellers, and watchers who don't participate. I had to make a decision, that I didn't want to make. I am aware that there's going to be comments made and I have turned a blind ear to them. People here may change their opinion on who I am as a member and or a person and I have accepted that may happen. But, if they wanted to know why I sold all they need to do is ask, it's very simple really. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. I know OP is more commenting on the price, but I gathered information from the forum here as others have posted, before making a decision. And believe me when I say it's not the decision I wanted to make, more so, I had to make.

Yeah don’t take this one personally. It was straight up an “I didn’t realize these things were selling for that much” sort of thought.

You brought up expensive chips, people had fun talking about expensive chips. I don't think anyone took it negatively.

That was my feeling from your original post. I did not get a "screw this price gouging scalping price gouger" one bit.

Regarding PCA $500 singles, let's say there are 1200 of them. You've probably got 1000+ of them locked up in barrels and racks and sets, so the singles market is not 1200, rather 200 or less. Popular chips with a population of under 200 singles can get expensive quick!

I went thru this problem with JD secondary 1k. I have 12 lol. Offered $100 a chip crickets.
 
To be fair I think my most expensive chip was in the $85 ballpark, I don’t recall exactly…

Wooorth iiit! :wtf:
 
Then again, my grandparents sunk a fortune investing in paintings and prints. Every wall in their house is covered with a bunch unframed in storage as well. They'd give prints they paid thousands for away as Christmas presents to hang up newer more expensive ones. Now most of them are lucky to bring $25 at a garage sale if they even sell. Yes they look neat but realistically rare or not are still only worth what someone else will pay for them. Seems fads come and go especially with the age and economic status of the people that had certain things as a child.
For me it was 80s toys and video games which drives the demand up as we age.
Gambling chips will probably stay booming until the people die off that remember using them in Vegas and other casinos.
I'm curious what the current kids and teens will wish they still had 30 years from now. That's what we should be holding onto.

I’m talking about a sale going on right now where PCA $500s are being sold at $1700 per barrel. And I mention it only because it seems worth mentioning. Just the other night, somebody at my game said that that some PCAs were selling for $100 per chip and I was kind of shocked and actually questioned him.

I didn’t realize any Paulsons in playable quantity were selling for that much, and I read most of the stuff that’s posted here.

Yeah, it wasn't that long ago when I sold mine valued at $25/chip (even though some buyers were paying $30+, which I thought was nutzo). But, also around that time, I was paying $165/chip for ACF 25,000 tournament Paulsons, if you could squeeze any out of sellers' hands. So I guess it's relative.

Still can't figure the nose-bleed prices people are willing to pay for some NAGB chips, though. Must be the pretty colors. :D
 
lol I came here to spend $500 on a nice chipset and I'm about 5k in. Before I came to PCF I would of never thought the potential value of a single poker chip could be so high. I actually collect a lot of things, and as it seems, a common trait with poker players is a higher form of disposable income ( relative to other hobbies of mine). In my opinion Poker players tend to have more disposable (or as some may argue investable income) then the average or even mode group. There are many people that may collect something more obtainable within the mean income of today. Now there are other collectibles that people hobby in such as fine art that the mean price of ownership, a average poker chip collector may be in awe at the amount a collector will spend on a single piece.
