Need Help. What are these worth? TR King Spotted hotstamps (1 Viewer)

[ChipEnvy]

I am stuck and need some assistance from you fine folks. I picked this set of chips up a while back with the intent to mill them to create as close to a custom set of TR Kings as possible. It's been several years and I've bought and sold a lot of chips and completed a few chip related projects without ever touching this project. So it's become evident that this isn't a high priority in my chipping life. This is the set in question:

This is the reverse side stamp:

Breakdown is:

100 x $1
150 x $5
150 x $10
80 x $20
20 x Kings Crown HS Non Denoms (Tan with 5 brown edgespots)

I also have a rack of blank sky blue TRK's (that match the edgespot of the $1 and $5 exactly) that I was going to use as a fractional chip.

***Edit*** there are also at least 7 extras of each denominated chip, pictured in the lid of the box in the first pic.

I would like to know your best guess as to the value of the set. I know chips are worth what someone is willing to pay, but I can't find anything in past sales on eBay or on PCF to get a ballpark price. I'd like to avoid eBay because the fees (doubled by paypal) have been out of control for some time now, so putting them up for auction is really a last resort.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Seriously, not sure, but they look sweet. GLWS man!

man those are nice - i remember when you picked them up.

I'll start the bidding at $300

 

[ChipEnvy]

LOL! Thanks but I'm not selling them yet. I am just trying to figure out a fair price to ask once I do let them go.

For 600 chips I would guess somewhere between 800 and 1000.

For 600 chips I would guess somewhere between 800 and 1000.

This feels about right to me, too. Monograms can be a tough sell, but the spots and color combos make this set a little more desirable. I know exactly what I would do with that rack of turquoise $1s. (y) :thumbsup:

It would be kind of cool to put a label on one side, but still keep the TRK denominations. I really like the old school TRK font denom

Condition will play a big part in perceived value -- I'd guess they would probably cap out at around $2/chip if in mint/near-mint condition, but the set as a whole is pretty damn nice, monogram or no. Somebody falls in love with them (not hard to do) and willing to pay for a custom mill/label on one side would likely jump at these at $900-$1200. I'd definitely keep the denomination hot-stamps.

Took a couple pics to show the complete set. There are 650 chips in all.

The 50 'extras' are the splash pot in front of the 600 chip set.

Don't know why I can't figure out how to take a clear pic.

Sweet chips!

 

[RainmanTrail]

These are in pretty good shape. Probably $1.50 to $1.75 ea would be my estimate. Let me know if you want to sell them. I'd probably buy them

Great chips! Make sure to pat them in the TRK thread

Estimated value per chip ( on the PRP ) would
be $1.50 to $2.00 per chip ) - IMHO
