SOLD AUCTION: PCA 50¢ secondary (qty 100) (1 Viewer)

[bentax1978]

Something that I find tilting about this set is that the $1s have a different mold than all the other denoms... What's up with that?

It's pretty much the set's only major flaw, but a big flaw nonetheless. However, given how kick-ass the chips are overall, I try my best to accept it and move on.

Aztar MO (and I'm sure others) has that also with the $5s.. the PCA $1s are one of my favorite RHC chips though.. and I have 2 racks of the $.50 primaries for less than this 1 rack of $.50 secondaries

What's truly messed up is that if this casino were open, these chips would have cost $50 total. And they would have given me free drinks while I was pocketing them.

But you might have hit a really bad streak and lost $400 harvesting them. Though I suppose you'd still be up the free drinks

You still have to spend money while harvesting. Congrats on the pick up!

Now I feel worse about 2 racks of live quarters I bought for about 8.5 times face value

The free drinks usually precipitate the really bad streak.

Do you still really need all those $5s? I only want 2 little bitty racks

You know if you mark them up 16 times
face value, I'll probably buy them off you.

You know chips have gotten totally out of hand when casinos use actual quarters instead of 25 cent chips.

That can be arranged with a 1 minute private auction (y) :thumbsup:

Under continued griping, who schedules an auction to end in the middle of the NCAA championship game?!?!

Someone who doesn't watch the NCAA championships, I'm afraid. Sorry about that! Bad timing, I agree.

Sold! Thank you very much. PM coming -- or rather, a response to your PM.


BTW - I bought Tesla at 55. I was pissed when my stop-loss order got executed at 104.50. There's an incredibly narrow 20-dollar blip on July 17, 2013 that I'm 99% sure is my order incorrectly being executed. It was only 100 shares ("only") and I still made $50 per share on the sale, but that'd be another +20,000 in my retirement fund now. Still pissed.

Wow! Just catching up on this auction. I thought the $270 a rack for the $5's was crazy, this blows it away.

A few racks from this set could fund most of a custom set from CPC, hmmmmm....

Action hand! I folded pre and enjoyed the show.

RHC's are cheaper for the casino's to buy than THC's, and the $1's tend to walk out the door more than the other denoms. It's just a way for the casino to minimize it's losses due to chip shrinkage.

I could use a rack, but I'm glad it didn't end right after the game -- pissed and drinking bourbon. No telling how high I might have bid. Thank You!
