As you can tell from my post count, I'm fairly new to the poker chip scene. My collection so far consists of a couple of used sets I purchased here recently (800-chip Majestics tournament set and 1000-chip cash set of PGI Private Cardroom CCs). I've recently started looking out on Craigslist for any potential local finds and hit the jackpot this weekend.
Here's the thread I started in the craigslist subforum:

The chips were part of an estate sale. She had about 1700 chips but when I agreed to take them all she said "well, gee I've got more inside the house if you want me to bring them out"
Total count: 3700 chips.
Mold: THC (SCV)
Casino: Joker's Seattle, WA
Chip Guide: http://www.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=WASEJC
Breakdown:
Yellow NCV: 100
Purple NCV: 300
Pink 25c: 300
Blue $1: 2010
Red $5: 1000 (edit: 988 upon recount)
Note that the Purple NCV is not in the chip guide. I'll add it when I get the chance.
Oh yeah, I paid $325
Condition: As you can see from the pictures, they are very dirty and somewhat worn. They smell like cigarette smoke. The chips are hot stamped and so most of the stamps are partially or completely worn off. They otherwise seem to be in good condition, assuming they will clean up well. There are very few nicks on the edges. Many of the Blues are scuffed/worn. Almost all of the Blues and all of the Pinks have worn/rounded edges, the rest of the chip edges are nice and sharp. The Purple and Reds stack perfectly, many of the rest stack quite well with a little wobbling of some of the Blues. (I haven't done an exhaustive assessment, though.)
There are some minty Purples, Blues, and Reds, but the single frac pictured was the best I could find
At this point I'm not quite sure what to do with these but I'm thinking of doing the whole cleaning/relabeling shebang. I'm in the middle of a job search so the project will have to go on the back-burner until that is done. In the meantime, any suggestions or advice would be most welcome!
