I don't have a dog in the fight and will apologize if I've mucked up Scott's thread, but I'll say that those who self-identify as "serious potential buyers" ITT yet didn't submit the minimum bid can't really lay claim to the label. In that sense it's not much different than a min bid on eBay hoping you win, regardless if one agrees with the format.

The minimum bid? That's pointless... OK here you go

I officially bid $2860 on these chips. I'm definitely not letting them go for less than that. If no one else bids on them, they're mine :)

Perhaps someone will come in with some insane offer and he'll benefit because of it. But my hunch is that it's going to end up costing him money. I think Scott just enjoys a good gamble! Can't blame a man for that! :D But I hope he wins big on this auction.

I would have paid quite a bit for these chips (I just paid $5 a chip for those yellow Pick Hobson's in my profile pic from an auction earlier this month, and $8 a chip for a rack of those red, white and blue 100s). I love TRKs and don't mind spending my money on them.

Travis, I respect your point of view, but you should also recognize that your table image alone could totally impact an auction. Who in their right mind would want to get in a bidding war with a bonafide TRK Hoover (and I mean that as a compliment). Unless another Heavy weight (@BGinGA) were to step up, you could just as easily scare away prospective bidders, because they won't think they have a chance. Thats one of the flaws I feel with the open auctions within a small community. Im not trying to make an argument here, just pointing out a viewpoint that you may not see.

I will be content with whatever price these sell for. Had I not listed them this way, they probably would have just been listed as a WTS at $2860 and gone to the first person who responded. So I can't really complain about any lost opportunity.

Thanks for the Bid!

Good point. I can't scare people at the poker table but they might be worried when I start sniffing around the auctions they want...:rolleyes:
 
Oh, and by the way. Today is the deadline. Looks like these will be going to a new home. Last chance if you want them......

Oh no, now I have seen the splashed pot photos....

:)

Seriously beautiful chips. If only I hadn't blown my chip budget (3 times already) this month, these would be mine. TRK at their finest. So pretty.

You don't have to pay me until tomorrow. That will be a new month!
 
This auction ends one week too early. I need some time with TRKs before I decide to get involved.

Are 5s fairly available?

In general, I don't think any Deadwoods would be considered fairly available, as they only come up for sale from time to time. There may be a thread that lists how many of each denomination were originally produced.

In my experience, the Higher denominations are much harder to find. $25's were the most common. I didn't really look for any $5s.

Found it:

Exactly 25,000 of these were made:
50 cent - 1100
$1 - 2400
$5 - 4000
$10 - 1400
$25 - 5400
$100 - 4300
$500 - 2400
$1000 - 1200
$5000 - 800
$25000 - 900

The info I have is that 25,000 of these were made. n=20 of the $5s isn't of much use.
50 cent - 1100
$1 - 2,400
$5 - 4,000
$10 - 1,400
$25 - 5,400
$100 - 4,300
$500 - 2,400
$1000 - 1,200
$5000 - 800
$25000 - 900

True. I suppose there are pros and cons to all formats.
 
The winner has asked to keep his bid confidential, and I will respect that. I will let him reveal himself if he chooses.

Thank you to everyone who participated. I think the final price was fair, and I am happy with the sale. For those of you who placed bids and want to know where you stood, I will say the following. I received 6 Bids. Two people bid the minimum amount. The other four were in another tier, but all relatively in the same ballpark. The winning bid was approximately $100 higher than the second. I did have a few private offers looking to buy a smaller set or just certain denominations. Those offers were another tier or two higher in price, but would have left me with with an unplayable set.

That's not very helpful to the community.

Well, we know the results out of this sale are inaccurate, Since there were many potential buyers who did not participate because of the format. I would hate to spread bad data throughout the community ;)

Seriously, Its not up to me to disclose. I think I provided enough detail that a little deduction will get you in the ballpark...especially for those who bid.
 
The people who didn't win could disclose their bids, to help with deduction :D
 
My powers of deduction guesstimate winning bid in the $3200 range. :coffee:
 
Winning bid is going to be around 3200-3300. Winning bidder is a _________ and wishes to not disclose the price so that they can resell them for a profit and not let you use their purchase price for leverage.
