Let me first preface this auction with, no I am not quitting chipping, I do not need the money and nothing is going wrong in my life. Although it is hard to believe it has been one year! Just thought a good old auction would be fun and I have not let any chips out of the house in a long time. I do not think I have seen more than a few singles of these hit the open market in a long time! This is not an April Fools Joke!

So..... I have one rack of Spotted Flamingo $1 chips up for auction. I know there a several that have been wanting these and yes I guess I will admit to a slight case of hoarding. I also know there are new chippers that have joined and would also like a shot at a rack of these beautiful chips.I have no idea who had dibs since I received so many dibs over the years. I have sold a few in the distant past or traded to help some other chippers complete racks so I should have a ton more! I will probably have sellers remorse but I figured doing this may bring me some good karma!

They will all stand on edge - please see pictures for condition. If you need better pics just ask!

I am starting it low so maybe we can see a little action through Sunday and have some fun!

On a side note I am still in search of the spotted with birds. I need 30 to complete a rack and 130 to complete a limit set. Any help would be appreciated. Willing to trade!

Now the boiler plate!

  1. STARTING BID:$1
  2. Bids must be placed using numbers (no images) in minimum increments of $1
  3. NO RESERVE. The Starting Bid of this auction will be treated as the Reserve Price.
  4. All bids are to be placed openly in this thread. No bids via PM/Conversation.
  5. Auction will use the '5 minutes after last closing bid rule'. Highest bid at 8:30pm CDT on Sunday, April 7 will win unless there is a bid within 5 minutes of closing time - then the closing time will be within 5 minutes after the latest bid was posted. A bid at the close time is NOT a valid bid. Since seconds are not displayed on post timestamps, the following examples will be used as a reference.

    Example #1: If the close time is 3:00pm, any bid at 2:56pm up to and including 2:59pm is valid and extends the auction for another 5 minutes.
    Example #2: If the close time is 3:00pm, a bid at 2:55pm does not extend the auction.
    Example #3: If a bid is placed at 2:56pm, the auction now closes at 3:01pm. A bid at 3:01pm is not a valid bid.
    Example #4: If the close time is 3:05pm, and a bid is placed at 3:04pm, the auction now closes at 3:09pm.

  6. Edited posts will be voided. (note: ALL edits are logged instantly even if done within the small time frame before the 'last edited' message is shown)
  7. I reserve the right to: 1) cancel the auction if no bids have been made; 2) edit the listing to correct errors or clarify rules as needed.
  8. PCF (it's Owner, Admins, and Moderators) are in no way responsible for any actions in this auction.
  9. Shipping Terms: Winner will pay $8 for shipping CONUS - Will ship international but buyer pays actual shipping
  10. Payment Terms: Winner to pay via PayPal using Friends and Family or will pay the fees associated with the transaction.
Thank you for looking!

These came out in 2004 and were replaced with the ones with birds in 2010. Those lasted one year when they replaced the spotted birds with the no spot chips in 2011. All of these would be live and can still be cashed in but very rare to see them in the Casino now.
Do you know how many were made (birds)?
 
I think I am already getting a little sellers remorse. Anyway only a day and a half left on these!

It's a terrible time to sell right now, seems like the only way to move something is if it's got Jack written on it. Good luck with your auction, really hope you get the price these amazing chips deserve:)

Thanks, I am not too worried about the price since I was just letting a few out to see who is looking for them. This sale may convince me to cull some more out of the hoard. Not sure why I have so many but I guess it was one of the chips that my wife had helped me harvest.
I am not so sure if it is the Jacks chips but not really a big deal. I am sure there are a few that are watching this auction. After this auction I will only have a little over 1200 so who knows!

They certainly have sentimental value to you, and it's awesome that's a memory you can cherish. I didn't mean to come off sounding negative about the Jack chips, it is great that we chippers have the opportunity at mint chips!

1200 of these is a great limit set, and I'm sure they look awesome on the table:)

You didn't come off that way. Yes it was a good sale that Jim had and the chips look nice. The problem with me is I have really limited what I am willing to buy now. I am very near being satisfied with the chips I have. So now all I buy are Nevada chips in either house mold or THC mold.
I have been thinking about offering up my PNY's and/or boat chips as trade bait to get some more nice Nevada chips!

It must be easier once you lock into just one direction for chip buying, and I think I'm getting there too. Being content with what I have is something I struggle with, which causes me more stress than joy at times in this hobby lol.

Anyway, I'll stop derailing this sale thread:)

Thanks for your thoughts. Glad to see others are in my position.
 
One hour left! I am getting them packaged up tonight and they can be on their way to their new home tomorrow!

Good luck folks!
