Not Mine Discovery Cruise Chips (1 Viewer)

[flipupchipup]

No breakdown listed in the ad, and says local pickup only in Las Vegas. Might be able to work with the seller outside of eBay if local

Love spending thousands on a seller with 0 feedbacks.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he thinks he can get the bids on eBay and then after it’s over just get the cash straight up from you when you pickup and avoid eBay fees.
I can imagine about a dozen fucked up ways this can end with a newbie seller.

Nice chips though.

Breakdown:

$1: 610
$5: 313
$25: 312
$100: 137
$500: 43
.50: 99
Total= 1514 chips

These were originally included with a craigslist ad for the blackjack table. I started negotiations with the seller just for the chips and then they looked up prices on @Spinettis Gaming website and countered my offer with $5,000 . . . "which is $2,000 below retail".

seller has reached out to me for some help. they are helping a parent whose husband has passed. i'm going to suggest they offer shipping and lower the starting bid.

Well, starting bid is now $2000. Go get 'em.

I'm interested in this set because:
- In general, they are cool chips.
- I have some of the $25s already. (around 3 barrels, IIRC). They are rounded to the point where they don't balance on edge easily, but still not flat like bicycle tires.
- I'll be in Vegas the middle/end of next week. (But I really don't have time to deal with an unmotivated/unwilling seller. I could try to make time to pick up and pay for the chips, if someone has arranged a deal by the time I get there. I'd probably bring packing supplies with me, to mail the chips to me back home.)

If you're looking to help them out, you could try to explain to them that Spinetti's probably only sells a few singles of the Discovery Cruise single chips each week. So if a seller has all the time in the world and want to try to get rid of them chip by chip, and ship to dozens of different buyers, they might get close to realizing the "retail" price for a handful of individual chips. But they're very unlikely to sell all the chips that way, and it would take years.

Alternatively, maybe even suggest they call over to Spinetti's and see if Spinneti's would give them a price to buy the chips from them, and they could take the chips to Spinnetti's. (At least that will be a more realistic target number for them to understand. Who knows, maybe Spinnetti's (if they even give an offer), would be $1000, and that might motivate them to sell at a more reasonable price of $1200, $1300?

Well, starting bid is now $2000. Go get 'em.

Yeah. And I see there's a reserve on the eBay price as well.

Expert: "I'd say chips in this condition would retail for about $3000 if sold individually over a 10 year peroid."

Rick: "So how much were you lookin to get?"

Seller: "$3000"

Man I love these. The breakdown is less than ideal, but if I was buying a set I think I would pay $2000. Obviously don't know what the reserve is.
