SOLD Empress (Joliet) - $2.50 / $25 / $100 / $500 / $1000 - Casino used except $1000s (1 Viewer)

[Th14]

Random collection of Empress chips. As quickly as my PCA sale went, someone suggested I do an auction to give more people a chance. Figured I'd give it a shot since I'm having trouble valuing these non mint/ used chips. Please forgive if I'm messing something up as this is my first auction. Here's what available:

$2.50 x 50 - used. Medium condition. Still stack nicely but definitely showing some wear.
$25 x 50 - used. Similar to snappers
$100 - 220 - Used. Better than the snappers and $25s
$500 x 20 - Used. Good shape. Stack nicely but some rounded edges.
$1000 x 15 - 10 of them mint. 5 close to mint. You can see the color difference in the pic.

Obviously the pics will be much better than my descriptions.

1. STARTING BID: $500
2. Bids must be placed using numbers (no images), in whole dollars, and in minimum increments of $10.
3. NO RESERVE. The Starting Bid of this auction will be treated as the Reserve Price.
4. All bids are to be placed openly in this thread. No bids via PM/Conversation.

A bid at the close time is NOT a valid bid. Since seconds are not displayed on post timestamps, these examples will be used as a reference.

@Flat12

Thanks for the tag, trigs. Might have to pass as I cannot justify the expense of bidding for the whole lot. Really more interested in adding Snappers and a couple of barrels of 100s for my set. Perhaps a split is in the offing but GLWA. I hope a lucky chipper reels all of them in. Great chips.

Thanks for the tag @RocAFella1, but I had put my phone away for a couple hours. My loss, someone elses gain.

Ugg, I would have bought these if I thought there was any way in hell they'd sell at less than half their value. I overlooked them because of the bad breakdown but damn, nice score!

Don’t worry Rainman. I’ll see if I can dig something up later you may be interested in.

Despite the best efforts of some customs agencies, chips are confirmed received so closing this out. Thanks to everyone for their participation (or lack of).
