Not Mine Poker/Card Wheel (1 Viewer)

Here is an interesting listing. Might be cool to have in your room. I do not remember seeing one of these. This one looks to be in pretty good condition. Not sure if it is collectible but it does look pretty cool

If that was a BIN I'd already own it. thanks for the heads up.

 

[DrStrange]

No, if it were BIN you'd have never seen the auction.

 

[David O]

No, if it were BIN you'd have never seen the auction.

You are correct!

I expect this to be sold for north of $500, which is past my pain threshold. I'm watching but I have limited hope. It isn't worth a start on a new set of poker chips.

 

[Potsie1]

Do you really think it's worth 500? That much?

 

[DrStrange]

It isn't worth $500 to me. But I found some evidence that it might be to collectors. Gambling memorabilia has its own niche of collectors and this item will be of interest. Condition could be a problem. The drop from "mint in the box" to "used, almost new" can be huge.

I doubt I would have won this for $90 even without the item being posted on the boards.

Somehow that thing needs to make it's way to the degens at Truman's House. I'm sure Jack could figure a way to use it.

It just got past my bid limit - sold for $204 + $10 shipping.

Grats to the winner -=- DrStrange

That thing is cool. Probably best that I didn't see this until the auction had ended.
