Welp, we are pulling out all the stops to make an offer on some property. Depending on how things go, I may be looking to sell my chips off. I would have time to sell them for what they are worth, i.e., this is not a fire sale.

Am hoping for some input from the community. I have not been super active lately but have the general sense that prices are high. Assume maximum flexibility in terms of shipping, splitting, etc. Some splits are obvious (BTP is likely split into 2-3 smaller sets, Palms are not splitting no matter what, etc.).

Please note this is not a dibs thread and I am not taking dibs/offers/etc via PM. If we make this purchase, I will be selling chips over time to backfill our savings and will be hanging onto the Lakeshores, Palms, and Binion's if at all possible.

All opinions are welcome, either in the thread or via PM. Feel free to weigh in on the entire lot or each set or a particular set, whatevs. Thanks! Now, on to the chips.

Note: condition is kinda off the top of my head, hopefully the pictures are good enough. I don't have the bandwidth right now to take any more.

Fair Market Value? What I think their worth? or What I would pay for them?

Good Luck on the property.

I would only need/want half of this. How much would this set break the bank?
 
Oh my God.

I'll put it this way. You can make a sizeable down payment on your property just from the sales of these chips alone. Best of luck and all the best!
 
Good luck on the property! Hopefully you can keep all your chips. If you sell the Palms they are the ones I want. :)

Thanks! And all I care about right now is how much I can sell them for given that I would not be in a hurry.

I think you are asking me how much I would charge for half the hotstamp set. I have no idea right now.
 
Those would be the ones I hung onto as well. On the flip side, I think these are the sets that will command the highest prices (and by a lot).

Good luck with the purchase!!!

I don't know what any of them are worth. I know I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed for a box of crackers
 
For the NAGB chips I think there are enough recent sales to give you a good reference for price, either as sets or by the rack.

If I were in your position, for the "grail" sets (Palms, Lakeshores, Binion's) I would do an auction and give PCF plenty of time and notice to bid. Pick a number that sounds reasonable and that you're comfortable with to set that as the starting bid. We just don't see enough of those chips to get a good idea of "fair market" especially right now given how crazy prices are.
 
Following. Great sets. Good luck on the purchase. Hope it be a win win situation for all of us. Now if my crypto get back up to were it was, I definitely be interested.
 
Good luck with the project, exciting times :)
Try to hold on to the sets that are very hard to get back (Palms, Lakeshores, Binion's).

About prices, almost impossible to say in current crazy times.

Ps. So that's where all the Paris chips are hiding....would love 2 - 3 racks of Paris $1. Let me know when you want to let go some of those

Others I would be guessing too much.
 
This is an incredible collection. I can only imagine what that property must look like. Private Island I’m guessing.
