Surely the deal of the century - well at least until 5 racks are miraculously found
Sure but how many of them are from the same bidder? (cough *shill* cough)AND THEN I SAW 48 BIDS AND THOUGHT DAMN EVERYBODY ELSE IS CRAZY.
Yeah, I think the book rate on this is a lot higher — not that that means a huge amount, granted.Thats a pretty rare 5 I think
The Sands $5 Arodie comes to mind. I've seen two of them sold over the years, one went for beaucoup bucks on eBay over 20 years ago and the other one was from Howard Hughes estate (allegedly) and sold recently with two other old $5s for over $21K (plus a buyers premium) on Heritage Auctions...That’s about the price I would expect for that chip. There are even more expensive singles, but not many.
Those guys BIN listings are absurd 99% of the time
Could still be the other side of the same chip?Doesn't look like it's the same chip, if you analyse the spots.
I gave realistic offers on a couple of the chips from that seller. He/she responded back with ridiculous amounts and said they enjoy listing at super high prices because it pisses the “good old boys” off.To be fair to seller, that Sands chip is incredibly rare. An old price guide says $3500-4000 and "unique", Chip Rack says "* no market" which means the sky is the limit. I do think, however, that $12,500 is optimistic.
Must be run by MikeAuto too @RivieraDannyHe/she responded back with ridiculous amounts and said they enjoy listing at super high prices because it pisses the “good old boys” off.
Then the spots would have been mirrored.Could still be the other side of the same chip?
Just some lots of rare chips from his estate. Some dated AFTER Hughes’ death, so clearly there was some curation taking place post mortem. Who is to say any of them were owned or touched by the man?I want to learn more about this Howard Hughes auction…
