Found Aurora Star $5 and Fracs! (UPDATED PRICES) (1 Viewer)

[pipdenny]

Hi all,

This may be a tough one, but I started to save up to start building a small AS cash set.
If anyone has any of the following chips they'd be willing to sell, please let me know and I'd be infinitely grateful!

edit:
I didn't expect to find these so fast! thank you @Shaggy and the others who reached out!
Now I just need 1 more rack of fracs! I would also take another rack of 5's if you've got it.

UPDATED PRICES:
AS $0.25 - $420/rack (one rack)
AS $5 - $575/rack (one rack)

I will consider buying more if you don't want to break your set!

AS $1 - 300 FOUND
AS $20 - 1 or 2 barrels FOUND

Thank you!!

AS $1's will start at $2.75 and go up from there, just FYI.

 

[pipdenny]

updated OP to reflect market value of the $1's
Thank you!

It won't be cheap to put a set together but good luck! From what I've seen, you'll probably be looking at:

AS $0.25 - $3.75
AS $1.00 - $2.75+ (as pointed out by @Senzrock although some just went for $3.50ea)
AS $5.00 - $5.00+
AS $20.00 - $8.00+

Edit: and here too

I'll agree with the others that your prices are likely too low, and I'll also say that I think the two sales above from the same seller are outliers, especially for the $1s and fracs. That said, there does appear to be an influx of new members who seemingly are willing to pay whatever people ask for chips, so maybe I'm just off base.

Personally, I'd peg values at:
fracs: $2.75-3/chip
$1s: $3/chip
$5s: $5/chip or more
$20s: $7.50+/chip
$100s: $6-6.50/chip.

Those prices align with what I paid for my set less than a year ago. As noted above though, the chipping market has changed pretty drastically in the last 12 months.

IIRC these prices are pretty accurate, though I thought the 100’s were more in the $4.75 ballpark?

That seems low to me for 43mm IHCs, but I also didn't check recent sales.

Did a quick check on 4 recent sales, neither of us were wrong — it ranges from the 4.72 up to $6.50

About $5/chip is where they've been at for a while. I bought mine about a year ago. Pretty steady prices after that as well and sometimes under $5/chip, as I've been considering picking up another rack after that and following it somewhat close.

Agree they are good value for 43mm chips though

 

[pipdenny]

bump!

 

[Jeevansluck]

All I know is somebody sold a rack of AS fracs a few months ago for $345 I think. IIRC, the listing actually started at $375.

The price has gone mental since that time for fracs. Very depressing.

updated OP
Only need 1 more rack of fracs!

(I would also buy another rack of 5's if I'm being honest with myself)

And this chair, and that's all I need....

 

[Shaggy]

Good luck on that last rack... or two... and that chair.

[pipdenny]

updated prices reflect frantic desperation only
Help me finish my set pretty pretty please

 

[Changster]

I don’t think it’s desperation on your prices. Just look at my Sunset Beach $5 wanted ad. Now that’s desperation!!

 

[Buge]

I hope you find some soon so I have less competition on these!

 

[pipdenny]

bumperoo! willing to buy more to not leave you with odd chips or ruin your set
