These were included in the huge Tropicana v3 haul. Casino used (see pictures).

********************
RULES

1. STARTING BID: $100
2. Bids must be placed in minimum increments of $5
3. The Starting Bid of the 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 tomorrow at 5 pm Pacific on Friday October 26, 2018 will win unless there is a bid within 5 minutes of closing time - then the closing time will be 5 min. after the latest bid was posted. See the additional notes on this rule below.
6. Edited posts will be voided.
7. I reserve the right to: i) cancel the auction if no bids have been made; ii) 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 responsible for actual shipping costs (will ship internationally)
10. Payment Terms: Preferably PayPal F&F

Additional notes regarding the 5-minute rule: I am taking "within 5 minutes" to mean "less than or equal to 5 minutes from". And given that forum post times do not show down to the second, please be careful not to wait too long. I will consider all posts to have been made precisely at the time shown in the post, i.e., at 0 seconds after the minute. So if the bidding is

Joe at 5:04
Sally at 5:09
Joe at 5:15

then Joe's final bid is not "within 5 minutes" of the previous bid and Sally's bid at 5:09 is the winner.

Thanks to @David O for reminding me that these chips can sometimes have "bubbled" inlays. I asked @inca911, the current keeper of the chips, to inspect them and here is what he found:
There were 7 chips out of the 100 x $1s that has some inlay oddities. Those 7 were like a different batch in terms of inlay shine. Hard to explain, but I could pick them out as different and very lightly “bubbled”

You can see the color and shine difference on the control chip in the middle

It’s subtle. I wouldn’t have noticed if I wasn’t trying to find it.

Those 7 chips also more bicycle tire -like than most, but equivalent to others without “bubbling”

Upper right are the bubbly chips

I consider this good news for the buyers but just in case I'd like to give folks the option to back out. @superchromix please confirm your last bid is still good, thanks.

Thanks for the info @navels. If I do not win these the winner can contact me for my experience with cleaning these chips.
 
Thank you, I'll send as soon as you send me where to send the $ to. PM me with your info and I will send it tonight.
Thank you

I will be going through and updating my set. Possibly some extras will be available if anyone is interested.
Nice pick up! Hard to find these babies
 
nice score... surprised these didn't get more action
Me to! I was thinking these would go for much more. I never thought my bid would hold so I was there watching during the last few minutes. I had to check the clock a few times to realize that my bid held.

Extra V2 100's? :whistle: :whistling:
 
I only have a rack for my set so unfortunately I do not have a spare rack of hundos. I can check with some folks that are part of the Unofficial Trop owners club and see if anyone has any to spare

Thanks for that, much appreciated. :)
