I am building a very low budget cash set which means I mostly heavily used casino chips. I have eldorados for my ones. I saw some eldorados pop on eBay. Some beautiful eldorado 2s, but out of my price range at $2.50 a chip. I contacted the seller to see if she had any more. I was able to pull out of her that she had 52 that were in poor condition. Perfect! Then she said she would sell them to me for $16.95. I thought she was going to do something with me directly. I fell back asleep. When I woke up, I found out that she had posted them and they were already snatched up! All that communication for nothing. If it wasn’t going to be me, I at least hope someone here got the good deal!

I know small potatoes for everyone else here, but a disappointment for me nonetheless.
 
Oh I was trying too. I was communicating with the seller to see if she had more and was able to pull these out of her. There was no listing. She was going to create it for me. I thought she was going to send something personally, but she created a public listing and someone jumped on it. This was all happening when I woke up at like 3 in the morning lol. Can’t turn my brain off on chips it appears. I fell asleep and never got to see the listing.

Oh well, the search goes on.
 
Too bad. I made an offer on the 3’s but was declined. I wasn’t willing to pay over $2 per chip on those. I have a few racks $1’s and 0.50 fracs if you’re interested.

I did too. She was too high in my opinion. That’s why I was surprised by her offer for the worn 2s and disappointed I didn’t get them.

I should be good on ones (Thanks!). Pm me on the fracs with what you had in mind. Thanks!
 
I found the completed eBay buy-it-now for the 52 pink Eldorado $2 chips, listed at $16.95. The ad said there were 2 QTY. available & sold. Either that means she she had 104, or it was a mistake in the ad. Pics of the chips below.

I don't think I've ever seen those $2 chips before. But just because they're rare, doesn't necessarily mean their valuable. Although I would have probably snap bought them for $1/chip or under.

Yep that’s the one. She had bad info with her quantities. She also had some in VG condition that she sold for $2 a piece. I asked if she had any more and said she had poor quality ones (which was perfect for me) that she wasn’t listing. She said I could buy for $16.95 shipped. She doesn’t have any of this quality left and I am not in the market for $2/chip fracs
 
Well glad they are in the community!

What have I learned from this? Never sleep! Or at least get the details on how to close the deal before falling asleep!
 
I woke up at 4 today to get to work early. Coffee, eBay....pink THC for $35/rack! I couldn't get my paypal in there fast enough.
 
Good deal. Those pics show chips that are NOT in poor condition. Just dirty and somewhat used, but not complete bicycle tires at all.

Yep. Killing me more and more. I might have to close this thread!

If I would have waited til morning to respond to her offer message, she wouldn’t have posted the chips and I would have been ready for the listing. But not being able to turn off my brain and waking up at 3:30 thinking about chips did me in. I just assumed she would have made sure I got these. We all know what assuming can do.
 
It was less than a rack. That's not very useful unless you can find more. I would not let it bother you too much.

She is selling the mint ones now?

I think she sold all of the mint $2s for 2 bucks a chip. I saw that listing last night and that’s what made me ask her if she had any used ones she’d sell cheaper. She said she had some used ones that she wasn’t planning on listing and then the rest of the story as discussed. I tried getter her down on the $3s but unsuccessful. At least out of my range.
