Sold Dutch auction various chips (2 Viewers)

In order to refill my chip-wallet, I will list below some items for sale. I’ll try the Dutch auction format, but will decrease the price in very short intervals, until my goal is reached or my lowest price does not attract any interest. The first to commit to buy in this thread gets the chips, trusting in forum software to show posts in chronical order. PM to discuss details.



Not sure yet but potential candidates are Aztar Secondaries 0.50/1/25s, Mark Twain 5s, pink Casablanca 5s, Aruba Carribbean CICs…. As you can see, really moving items I like. Only need to generate some $ so once goal is reached I reserve the right to cancel/stop any time. Sorry I'm a slow typer so I try to answer as fast as possible



Shipping within Switzerland is 10$, but willing to ship international, if buyer pays shipping difference and assumes risk. Happy to ship to one address in US if buyers want to safe costs.

Accepting PP FF or for domestic buyers wire.

Thanks for interest.

1 rack Mark Twain 5$
Startprice 300 USD

That is NOT a Dutch Auction....

No?

'A Dutch auction is one of several similar kinds of auctions. Most commonly, it means an auction in which the auctioneer begins with a high asking price, and lowers it until some participant accepts the price, or it reaches a predetermined reserve price. "

Stupid *#^}^]*}^%}^#*+^ meetings. I can’t believe I missed out on the Aztar fracs (and $1).

The price in a Dutch Auction is set after taking in all bids to determine the highest price...in this case, there was an offering price and sold at that price...period..

Looks like you got that from Investopedia. If so go back and look at the second paragraph.

or look here..

Just refer to it as a witty swiss auction and call it a day.

 

[MrWitti]

Remaining items cancelled. Thanks all, was fun but also kinda tough to keep track of all posts, bids and pm's.
Electronic device awesome, pen and paper -> priceless
@kk405 sorry for any confusion caused, but needed a fast way to fund a purchase

 

[MrWitti]

Sum up:

Rack Mark Twain 5$ @pltrgyst 300 USD
Casino Aztar 1$ @flipupchipup 350 USD
Casino Aztar 0.50 @flipupchipup 400 USD

Hope I have it correct

You probably only had about a 10 second window. I missed it by seconds as well

I missed it by 20 minutes...but all the same

 

[FriendlyDonkey]

We need more Swiss auctions around here. That was exciting.

Yup...I expected the 'auction' to yield multiple bids...an awesome pickup!

I remember it from Google's IPO

Some things went really quick and probably would have potential to achieve higher prices. Set the price where I still felt comfortable compared to what I paid for them.
I am sure the new owners will honor them much more and am sure they found a better home.
Sorry for all that missed some desired chips

@MrWitti no need to apologize when you are releasing such sweet ass chips into the community, especially at such reasonable prices.

Me too. And I was already on the page...

(And to make you feel even worse, Mel, I was going to offer them to you. 8;( )

 

[MrWitti]

I was a "buyer only" for years. Currently empting parents house as my father passed away. Seeing what collected dust there over the years was eye opening and I have the courage now to also release things that others can use better. Still not cured from collectors bug but a start

 

[TheBigTater]

That exactly what I expected from a Dutch auction. We've had them on the boards before.

Would’ve liked all of the Aztars to relabel

We catch you relabeling Aztar Mo. $1s and "The Ocean State" isn't going to be big enough for you to hide in...

Isn't that called a "blind auction"?
