Not Mine Down under check if worth buying (3 Viewers)

[drdr]

Hiya All. Looking for advice. First time considering grabbing chips second-hand.

Am in contact with some poor bastard trying to offload 3000+ dice chips. I'm not interested in those but he did send me these pics.
In Australia so would be interesting if these are of US origin.

Any of these of more interest? If so, could provide an estimate of value?
Ones that got my attention were the possibly compression chips:
The textured no mold?
Casino Capers?
Ocean Casinos?

Not worth much. It'll cost more to ship than what they are worth, especially from AUS to anywhere else.


[EDIT] Casino Capers comes up empty with a chipguide search, but Oasis Bingo finds this:

I'm in same suburbs as seller, so that's okay.
Wondering if any clays there or just injection molded.

There are three "paranoids" in the first photo... earlier chips. The rest are cheap sluggos with labels or hot-stamps. The Ocean $50 is on the Jockey mold, so an earlier ASM or Burt chip. Maybe a bit of value there, but the rest are pretty blah.

Very cool links. I've now learnt I can look up chips using that site. Thanks.

You're very welcome. Sometimes the casino search there gets picky and often times I find removing words from the search helps (the word "casino" or "club" brings up a bunch of hits) but many times finds what I'm looking for.

35c per chip? $80 total?

23 x Ocean Casinos jockey mold hotstamps.
$1.50 per chip? $35 total?

425 x Oasis Bingo sluggos, red x 175, blue x 100, yellow x 150.
25c per chip? $105 total?

If you want the chips the that’s fine but if you want to flip the chips they will be a tough sell

Not looking to flip. Not my style. Just don't want to overpay. Don't mind paying what they are worth.

Thanks kindly. Appreciate your input.

Bought some. Paranoids are fascinating. Weird material. How to clean? Should be oiled? They feel like wood/plant based and I worry water would kill them.

Also grabbed a barrel of jockey mold. In my ignorance I just can't quit decide if they are clay/ASM/Burt or not. They feel hard and slippery even though I can't see any injection pips.

The Ocean's are old enough (going by the dates in the ChipGuide link I provided above) that they have to be Burt. Pre-dates ASM and definitely pre-dates CPC.

Sending you a PM about the Paranoids. I currently own a playable set of 1100.
