The only way to win is not to pay. I mean play.
Discussion can continue. Still hoping to hear from a few others. IF you would like to make an OFFER, shoot me an email or PM. Thank you.
Okay, here goes.....
$3000, and not a penny more. That's all they are worth to me, and that's pushing it. And the only reason I would even make an offer is to flip them to somebody who wanted them badly enough to pay more but missed their chance at these. I have zero interest in owning a set myself.
One of the most overrated sets in all of chipping history imo. I can think of at least a dozen sets with more appeal to me personally, nearly all of which are 'valued' at much, much less. With the too-busy gaudy oversize inlays, these are a classical example of a major waste of some great-looking clay slugs.
There.... somebody had to say it. And.I'm not alone with my opinion of the Ritz chips, either.
is it 100 of each denom?
I think the best way to sell them is to put them up for auction. Starting price at the lowest price you feel comfortable selling them at so be that 1k or 3k just start it at that and let the market determine what they are worth.

A better approach might be a reverse auction, where the starting bid is high ($10,000?), and the price drops periodically until either sombody buys them or the seller pulls the set and ends the auction.I think the best way to sell them is to put them up for auction.

I concur. Either a standard auction or a Dutch auction would be the best. I have a price in mind, thus would be willing to throw in a bid that I suspect might be higher than @BGinGA sA Dutch auction I think they call that. Not a bad idea Dave!
BTW I didn't mean this as any kind of comment on this thread, just as a tongue-in-cheek mangling of the WarGames reference.
I appreciate all the suggestions on how to run the sale but that wasn't up for discussion
I heard that app melted down when the Chiproom relisted Horshoe $1s with no household minimums at .59 each. Now its on a perpetual tic-tac-toe loop like Joshua in War Games.
Late to update topic...I agree with Dave
I guess more then a few nice batches of chîps came available and it has hurt their value.
Sure, for the avid collector they could be worth more coin....but like stated fugly GIANT inlays.
For the true chip lover (not the commodity's approach) there are are beter options available for that cash.
Or who would prefer 500 of these chips vs let's say 2000 mint TRK's ?
Your wife's vehicle is safe.If you have ANYTHING that rhymes with TR King, please let me know now so I can sell my wife's escalade over the weekend (y) :thumbsup:
