When I type just the word "lemon" into my Google search, it gets very X rated very quickly lol.
I've yelled that at another driver once before out of pure frustration....
Which then made me laugh out loud....

True fact: work conference call 2 weeks ago. 20+ ppl. My collegue says a woman went on his property and stole from his fruit tree.
I could not stop laughing out loud. And I repeated "A woman went on your property.....and stole fruit....from your fruit tree?" I swear to God at that point 4 or 5 other people caught on and laughed their asses off. We knew. The rest were clueless. A connection was made.

Just be glad you weren't around when it did. The prices were all over the place, with some sets going as high as $12-$15/chip. That's where most of the anger stemmed from, considering the organizers only paid a dollar and change per.

Meh, the buyers were solely responsible for the selling prices, same as the later BTP and SB chips that were sold at high prices.
If no buyers are willing to pay those prices, the chips -- any chips -- won't sell for those prices. Blaming the seller(s) for high prices simply displays ignorance of how the chip market works (or any open market).

If I recall the tale correctly (and I always do), the history of the "Boat Chips" began way back in 2007 with two brothers in the land-locked state of Arkansas and their simple dream of one day setting sail on the most luxurious cruise line on all the seven seas.
One fateful day, while they were waiting in line for lunch at the Empress Café, a popular local restaurant and home of the "World Famous" Aurora Burger, a stranger overheard the brothers discussing their dreams of one day gazing upon the sea. As it happens, this mysterious stranger just happened to be none other than Mr. Biggum T. Poeker, the pre-eminent Entrepreneur, well known for his history of successful start-ups, string of affairs with world-famous super models, and most recently, his addiction to televised high-stakes poker tournaments.
Poeker himself has just recently taken 4th place in the "Carnival Millions," a $1,000,000 buy-in game aboard the luxurious cruise ship "Mardi Gras" while in the Caribbean. It had been a star-studded event with some of the poker worlds biggest stars in attendance. Still on a high from the event and upon overhearing the enthusiastic young brothers dreaming aloud, Poeker was struck with an thought:
"Gentlemen!" He said, interrupting the brothers as they spoke, "My apologies for the eavesdropping, but you two lads have just given me a brilliant idea!"
Poeker and the brothers went and sat together in a corner booth, so that they could talk in private. While they enjoyed their Aurora burgers and crispy fries, he went on to explain to the brothers that he could indeed help with their dream and that he envisioned a fleet of luxury cruise ships, each with their own unique theme, playing host to the most prestigious, highest stakes poker tournaments around, where all the biggest Stars would come to play. The brothers, naturally, threw themselves enthusiastically at the idea and offered to help in any way. And thus, the dream of the "Star" cruise ship company was born.
After much planning, and many rounds of venture capital funding, the idea was moulded in a plan: the company would set sail along the Pacific coast, beginning with three ships. As a nod to the waters in which they planned to frequent, Poeker decided the first ship should be named "Pacific Star." The naming of the second and third fell to the two brothers. For them, the names were a simple decision - they would name the last two ships in honour of the humble restaurant and the delicious burger, over which their dreams began to turn into reality. And so it came to be that "Empress Star" and "Aurora Star" were born.
Now Mr. Poeker, the serial entrepeneur that he was, had connections, including in the ship building world. It were these connections he used to engage the services of the most famous shipbuilding firm in America, Sunset Shipbuilding, headed by Robert Andrews, whose own Grandfather, Thomas, had been the chief architect on the fateful project which oversaw construction of the RMS Titanic in the early 1900s.
Together, Poeker and Andrews went about designing the largest, most luxurious cruise liners the world had ever seen, complete with on-board casinos to rival the poker room at the world famous Casino Monte Carlo.
The planning and construction was tedious; no detail was too small. Even the design of the cup holders for the deck chairs and the design of the poker chips for the casino were given considerable thought. Eventually though, in the Spring of 2017, the ships were ready to sail.
In celebration of the launch of the Star Cruise Company, a grand opening was planned, the likes of which had never been seen before: All three ships would sail together, side-by-side, along the Pacific coast, all while hosting the largest poker tournament in the world outside of Las Vegas. It was to be a launch for the ages (and it was... but not for the reasons hoped).
Tragically, as many now know, on route to their port along Sunset Beach, the three cruise ships were met with a massive storm. Their captains, while experienced, were unable to navigate and, for reasons not fully understood to this day, the three ships collided with each other, took on water, and sunk to their watery graves at the bottom of the cold Pacific. Miraculously, all souls on board survived, but the dream was dead.
As luck would have it, salvage teams were able to recover many of the items on board the wrecks, including a gold-plated piano from the ballroom of the Empress Star, the chandelier from the opera hall aboard the Pacific Star, as well as a chest containing the casino currency for all three casinos. While some items found their way into museums, others, like the poker chips, found their way into the hands of private collectors.
And that, my friends, is the story of the "Star" chips.

That should be a simple fact to get straight: as much as $2.98 per chip.
