Had some time this weekend and decided to start gathering pricing data from the Classifieds section throughout 2021. I've tried to explain this info the best I can, but feel free to ask me about anything that seems confusing.

Inspiration: I wanted to collect pricing data from Jan 1, 2021 to Dec 31, 2021, on RHC mold chips. I started a spreadsheet and went to town. Somewhere along the line -- many hours later -- I realized that I was collecting beyond RHC molds (e.g., I included Jack Cinci $1 THC couple times), and I was too far along, so I just kept hammering away. When I noticed I was 147 lines in, I decided to stop.

Method: I keyword searched for "rhc" (and later for "jack") in the classifieds section. Thus, most of this pricing is RHC/Jack focused. I grabbed pricing information from posts that were either "For Sale" or "Sold." I read each post because folks post information differently, and then manually entered the info in the spreadsheet. I excluded any posts that weren't in USD. I also excluded sample sets and any chips in poor condition, and anything smaller than a barrel. I tried to focus only on 39mm chips, although a 36mm could've slipped in there somewhere. I calculated the price per chip by dividing the total price by total chip count in original post.

Columns: Most are self-explanatory. For "Type" column, I used either Cash, Tournament, or Solid (reserved mostly for roulette chips). Or, I left it blank if it didn't fit any of these three categories. For "State" column, relabeled implies that the chip was murdered and then relabeled. Overlabels are just labeled over an existing label.

Reuse: If anyone would like to expand, or revamp the data, please feel free.

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ouid=116053073571592364590&rtpof=true&sd=true

EDIT: I'm pasting most the spreadsheet in next post (character limit):

So this is essentially a list of every transaction you could find for RHC chips in 2021?

My first question is, 'why'? How do you intend for this information to be used?
 
Yes, that’s correct.

Honestly, I started to look at posts to determine what is a decent price for RHC chips, I’m new to chipping so I don’t know what a good price is. And, because I thought I was among chip enthusiasts, so pricing in regards to chips is prob something of interest to this community, no?

And, if someone wanted to, this would be a quick and easy resource for members to look at if they were interested in a particular rhc chip sold in 2021. It could also give price averages for certain denominations too in some cases.

This is pretty cool to be able to reference. Thanks for putting in the time and sharing this
 
You need to put $ or T to determine cash or tournament

Also needs to be a P or S to determine primary from secondary.

That’s a lot of work and the market changes fast but kinda cool to see some chip prices when they were cheap lol

@ParrotheadMZ Done! I prepended "$" for cash denominations, "T" for tournament, and "R" for roulette. I don't think I could do the primary bc I still need to learn all of those colors, but I do think that's a great idea.

I apprec this feedback! cheers
 
Let’s have a caption contest for @inapinch

I have no value in this at all but completely love the initiative and can see others benefitting. Welcome to the community!
100%
I don’t even know enough about these sets to say whether you need to specify primary or secondary (I suspect you do; it’s probably a crucial piece of information in many instances) but this is a great effort toward a needed resource.
Also:
ATTENTION SELLERS! STOP DELETING PRICES FROM YOUR CLASSIFIED, AFTER AN ITEM SELLS!

Might also be interesting to sort by date and watch the prices climb over the year. Although you might have to include 2020 to really get a good picture. I guess you could also solicit information from individuals. I know I put together my entire THC set in 2021.
 
That looks like a lot of work, good on ya. Some prices seem very low though. And I may be biased since I still have a rack for sale. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen JD $5’s sell for $2.5 a chip. I recently sold two racks for double that. And the $1’s are $3 a chip.

Not griping, but I’d be careful using this to price my chips. I’ve paid more for many on the list as well.
 
First, thank you for this resource. I think it could be very useful. Your efforts are appreciated.

The only thing I’d point out to in this thread is that the listed price could theoretically be inaccurate. Just because someone posts a price in a classifieds thread and then marks it sold doesn’t necessarily means it sold at the price listed. Because of this, it is kind of hard to gauge true market value. Additionally, lots of deals happen via PM, and you will occasionally get a random “Wanted Ad” where someone is willing to pay significantly more for an immediate need.

I definitely love and appreciate the effort, but I figured it might be worth adding a little context to the conversation. I definitely think this is a great starting point for someone who is looking for a general price range for specific chips.
 
I believe @RainmanTrail tried a similar undertaking a few years ago. However, there were a number of issue that the community brought up...
  • More chips are moved through PM's than through classifieds.
  • Classified price does not necessarily indicate actual selling price
  • Chip prices are affected by set breakdown.
Mind you, I love the initiative. I'm a fan of spreadsheet data and statistics. This may be useful to gage approximate value, but it has possible flaws. In the end, spend what you feel willing to spend, and sell for what you feel it is worth. If a transaction happens, the price is right.

I guess we were constructing our messages at the exact sane time lol.
