Asymmetrical edge spots ------> Genius.

I feel like when I say those chips are the worst, I have the more controversial opinion.

I have a visceral reaction to asymmetrical spots.

Jacks detroit are the most overpriced (not including rare grail sets) set of all time

All auctions should start at $1

i would have to disagree. the amount of people on here, i see auctions, people bidding like $8, $11... and what's the next bid? $700. like... it's just the consumer base.

I don’t see the problem with this.

 

[upNdown]

I don’t see the problem with this.

I don’t even understand it

i'm saying this is why there's no point in making all auctions start at $1 if the value is multiple thousands

So it shouldn’t be left to the bidders to decide?

i'm saying if you go into an auction room the bidding won't start at $1 on every item. items of higher value will skip the low bidding stage and the bidding might start at, $100 for example. if someone is selling a set worth $5,000 it just seems pointless for the bidding to be forced to start at $1, is what i was trying to say.

I won't put minty chips into play.

I think the point being made is, you saying it’s “worth $5,000” isn’t proof of said value. The bidding will determine its value. It might bid up to $100 or $10,000……

I completely understand what you’re saying.

The question then is:
Do you own minty chips (sets)?

If not, cool. If yes.... why?

I have owned some, have admired them, and then have sold them. I believe I have one set of minty chips at the moment that will likely be sold in the not too distant future.....

Airtights for poker chips are a silly waste of money and space.
What exactly do you people think is going to happen to your singles?

Do you like the chips in your sets flea bitten and dinged up? Well let me fill you in, it can happen to your card cappers too!

Shouldn't it be left to seller to decide if there is a minimum price, below which he is unwilling to sell? If you start all auctions at $1, then you would also have to have the added complexity of setting a reserve price. It's simpler to just let the seller set their reserve as the opening bid. If no one is willing to pay that much, then there is no sale.

I won't buy chips that I have no intention of putting into play...

Then just list them at that price. There’s no need to gouge members here and put them against each other for a few more dollars profit. That’s my opinion though, maybe there’s different ones.

@inapinch - I am prepared………. (Maybe)

Leaded TRKs and Leaded Majestic Stars are the same chip.

I’m a big TRK basher and that one has even me rotfling

Yeah, but then there's the issue of members coordinating with each other to keep a bid low. A starting price or a reserve price simply says that the seller is not willing to sell for less than $x. If you don't feel that the item is worth that price, then don't bid. All buyers/bidders are doing the opposite; I bid a maximum of $y and will not buy for anything over that price. There is no price gouging. The buyer makes a conscious decision and has all the control of not continuing to bid. These are NOT essential products sold during a hurricane (some may have a different opinion ). They are collector items, and the bidders ARE choosing the sale price by bidding.

It’s not controversial if it’s the truth…

Not if you bought them at the right time. My average cost per chip well under $2. Unless you hate them that much and $2 is too expensive, in that case you win.
