Sands Casino Poker Chips Rat Pack Sinatra Las Vegas 1952-1996 Value/Appraisal (1 Viewer)

[Aquaman]

I found this set of 700x Sands Casino Poker Chips Rat Pack Sinatra Las Vegas 1952-1996 at a Estate Sale. Can somebody give me an idea of what the set might be worth? The set looks new.

200x $1s, 100x $5s, 200x $25s, 200x $100s

Welcome to PCF. Just by the look of it, I'm going to guess you overpaid if you spent more than $100.

[Edit]: But this exact breakdown is for sale on eBay (by you) for $4000.

Check eBay. They are selling for $10 a piece. :

Selling or just listed?

Selling for $10 or listed for $10? Big difference.

I just want to have an idea of the value.

That's probably a PT Barnum situation.

I'd agree. The chips appear to be a consumer-grade RTPlastics design, mass-produceable and really not worth all that much - for the chips themselves, at least. For a set of 500 consumer grade RTPlastics chips I wouldn't pay more than $35, personally. It looks like they might have come with a custom case or tray which, if so, ups the value of the lot somewhat, but the chips themselves are nothing particularly special, IMO. Nice-looking, sure, and certainly an upgrade over dice chips, but not particularly valuable or in demand.

^^ That's about right. Those are relatively new commemorative chips, not something old or was used in the actual casino. They are common and inexpensive plastic injection-molded chips with adhesive stickers, and typically sell for 15c per chip or so.

Big difference between asking price and selling price. That same seller is listing plastic injection-molded Dunes commemorative chips for $5 each -- you can buy those new for a quarter.

I'll sell you as many as you want for just $5 each, and you can resell 'em on eBay for a 100% profit. Not nearly as large as my profit margin will be, however..... since I'm getting them for pennies.

I bet you don't have a single one. Show me a picture with today's date. I have the ONLY SET in eBay for sale. In U.K. a set of 100x $1s are selling for $530 Euros. You're just Jelly

Everyone beat me to it--we're not trying to be cruel or dash your hopes of riches, but you did ask for an idea of value, and while none of us are experts, many of us have seen enough to know what we're talking about. Unfortunately, these aren't worth all that much.

And believe me, if you had a set of 700 Sands Casino small crown chips in a (non-workable breakdown) playable set, I'd have immediately taken your Buy It Now price and felt bad (just a little) about getting the buy of the century.

Then you're a fool for not listing them at $7000.

Well, that's his BIN price.

I'm not sure "jealous" is the right word/phrase. I think you were looking for "not a sucker."

 

[Aquaman]

I have the ONLY 700 Poker Set available in eBay. The only one. If any of you "experts" have a similar set. Post a picture of it right now. If the chips have little or no value....why are they selling on eBay for $10 a piece???? Why are they being sold for as much at $300 in souvenir packs http://www.ebay.com/itm/RAT-PACK-Sa...110155?hash=item5af555fe0b:g:mj4AAOxy1JBSOiWJ or $10 for a single chip?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sands-Hotel...447165?hash=item56a260e77d:g:BYwAAOxygPtS2yHS

explain that to me..expert

Jelly...is the right word. My plastic chips are more valuable than your used Paulsons..

Check your manners, guy. You came to a forum where people like to play with high end poker chips, and asked for an appraisal. You got good honest answers, and instead of a "thanks for your time" you question us and call us jealous?
Go find a forum for people who pay $10 a piece for cheap plastic commemorative singles, and ask them what your chips are worth.

yup. took me too long to catch it. i'm slow

I would seriously doubt this but.....


Not sure where this thread is going and not sure what you are trying to do. You asked for an opinion and now you are disagreeing with members that are long time chip collectors.

Some of these guys really know about chips.

Anyway, welcome to the site!

I can't. Except to say, as previously mentioned, PT Barnum was right.

Okay, troll. **crying with laughter**

...And sweetie, puh-lease...I don't collect Paulsons, I collect TR Kings....

Good honest answers is a travesty in every sense of the word. And you do not own this forumas far as I know.

You are correct he is not an owner but I am a moderator and just trying to understand what you are trying to accomplish. No need in doing this as a new member and insulting people that were trying to help

I love a good troll now and again. Good luck in offloading your amazing chips.

 

[Ronoh]

Jealous? The guys giving you advice don't get jealous... if they see chips they want they buy them and don't try to conman-lowball anyone to do it.

You're out of your league, Junior.

Sorry, but none of us experts collect cheap plastic chips. But I'll have some made - with authentic @Gear labels - if you want to buy some more. $5/chip offer still stands.

"help me with the value of this"

*People explain the value they have for the object*

"You're just jealous!!!! So called experts"

SAD!!!!!
