You're not the only one.
Am I the only one who wonders why there has been no bid ?

................ Reserve OFF !

It's not going to happen.

I'm not going to be amazed; or you don't think there will be any last day action? If the later, I will take a friendly "loser buys a beer" bet

I am not bidding or getting involved at all myself, but I think there will be some bids. The only question is how intense the bidding would get

 

[ovo]

It's a very nice set that I wish I could afford

I played a tourney with these up at bergs. Other than donking off my stack with a full house 6 's full of Jacks vs jack full of 6's, I still remember how awesome they were. Just amazing. That is all.

 

[Numerobis]

the starting bid is between a primary and secondary set of Cleveland HS with the same denoms at the latest prices, and these were in much greater supply. Just saying

 

[DrJohn]

Since no one has bid, and I do not know if some people were planning with the 10th (the original end date of the auction) - I have set the end of the auction to the 10th, as it was originally.

So you still have a chance to get your hands on these chips.

I think a lower reserve price would kickstart the bidding action. Or I think you'd have no problem selling out raffle tickets to meet your asking price...

^^^ I must agree a raffle would be a nice way to sell these. In that case it may be helpful if someone in the US would act as an escrow, however, to avoid the international transaction fees.

 

[DrJohn]

thanks for the input, I appreciate that - but a raffle sounds like too much hassle for me

the reserve is the lowest amount I am willing to let the chips go for, so no change here, sorry!

This auction ends on Saturday, June 10th, 14:00 PDT

 

[surferb]

I don't think this will change anything. We are all following. Bidding will likely wait for the last day.

A little more than one day to go.

 

[liftapint]

Longest auction........evar.

 

[surferb]

Bump for some action!!!

 

[liftapint]

Raffle?

 

[DrJohn]

Since there were no bids, I am converting the auction to a standard sale - the reserve price of USD 3,600 is the lowest amount I am willing to let the set go for, so this is still what I am asking for. Shoot me a PN if you would like to buy the set. I am updating the OP accordingly. Thank you for your interest!

70 raffle tickets at $50 each should also do the trick in just a few days

Dr John you could use the two stars of Euromillions lottery, it will give 66 combination numbers => around ~$55 usd tickets
and members could choose their numbers it's funny

Hmmm -- doesn't the auction still have 30 minutes to go? 1400 PDT = 1700 EDT, and it's 1630 here now...

Totally understand. Too much hassle for me too, although I think it's become one of the best ways to sell high-priced sets. Maybe someone else can manage it for you in exchange for a free entry ticket?

 

[superchromix]

If @DrJohn is interested, I would offer to organize a raffle and act as an escrow.

 

[BGinGA]

Nothing stopping anybody from organizing a separate group buy thread for this set -- either breaking it into smaller sets, piecing it out by racks, or conducting a winner-take-all raffle.

All @DrJohn really wants is $3600 plus shipping and a single destination where to send them.
