What are they worth? (1 Viewer)

[ccralleo]

Anyone know how much a 12 chip,
very good-uncirculated set of Flamingo-Hilton , Las Vegas, classic cars $5 chip collection is worth, with all chips having the same serial number?

Any help is appreciated.

This may be a link to the set you have:

It appears these were issued in 1996. I have no idea their value... hopefully at least $60.

Yup that's them

Oh really... cool

Here's a listing on eBay right now for $71
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FLAMINGO-HI...510732?hash=item488c6ba74c:g:6JEAAOSw8d9U1GjI

Might want to watch that item or search completed listings for the value.

I found two sold auctions in the past few months that match your set - one sold for $72 the other $135. Shaggy's BIN auction for $72 weighs heaviest since it puts a cap on the price. The best answer today is your set is worth no more than $72.

Given how thin the chip market has become, we are really lucky to see this much data. Most times we would just be offering barely educated guesses.

Those chips in that auction are from Reno, NV

If only there was some sort of chip pricing tool out there....

In all seriousness this is exactly why I thought the resistance towards it was so funny. In my opinion @RainmanTrail only mistake was calling it a chip pricing "tool". If he had said "hey guys, i'm writing this program that will show what a certain chip has sold for in the past, I think it would be cool to have all that information consolidated." no one would have had a problem with it. As a matter of fact, some of the same people jumping on the bandwagon to hate the CPT had made posts, on this board, in the past about a chip "wiki" that could show historical data like selling prices. If what Trail had been working on was available right now there would be no difference between someone answering his post with "some of the same chips sold for this much this long ago" and the OP going into the Poker Chip Historical Sales Tool and seeing that info for himself.

But I'm sure being a pompous blow hard on the internet has it's merits too...



Edit: and by the way, after reading my post I realize I sound like Trails mom at the playground sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong. Obviously I didn't mean it like that. Trail is not really being "attacked", I'm pretty sure he needs no one to fight his battles, and he probably doesn't even care about snide remarks people post on the board. I just never really weighed in on that topic when it was going down and I have seen numerous posts here and other places referencing the chip pricing tool in a negative light since then. I honestly don't get it, I would have thought everybody would welcome a historical collection of data, that's the only point I'm trying to make.

I sure wish there was some sore of resource available where you could look at a chip and all it's particulars, like location the chip is from, and see if it has sold anywhere in the last *insert time frame here*. Otherwise we could rely on first hand, insider knowledge, (or sneaky answers that only a loch ness monster would give) that would never steer somebody wrong like linking them to an auction for the wrong chips... What a horrible fucking idea to have chip information lumped together.


Sorry for the derail ccralleo, I wish I could actually help you but I have no info for you.

Have you searched all over for completed sales? I think that will be your best bet, put the chips into google and search all the sites like here, eBay, the chip board, chip talk, etc (wherever poker chip fiends hang out ) and see f you can gather any more info that way. Just not enough of those chips have passed through the members on this board that would have knowledgeable answers for you, this is just a small corner of poker chip land though, there might be more information out there.

Good luck bud!
