Fair Value? Mixed lot of retired chips (1 Viewer)

[roughrabbit]

Howdy,
I was perusing Facebook and came across this set of over 1000 varied chips. I followed up with the seller and got a closer picture from which I could see the set included varied molds including: Mr. Lucky's, mermaids, THC, some roulette chips and some varying diamond molds. If I'm missing any important molds, please point them out, I'm still learning what to look for.

I'm interested but at the right price.
I live a little over 3 1/2 hours away from the seller so going and seeing the chips prior to purchase is unrealistic. I'm a chip novice so I don't have a great gauge on what a set like this would be worth, especially since it's mixed.

Can anyone help give me an estimate on what the fair value of a set like this is worth?

Imma say $40 wouldn’t hurt my feelings, with case.

Case is worth more than the chips

I wouldn’t waste the gas to go pick them up for free. Looks like mostly mermaids and/or Mr. Luckies, which I’d say are worthless, but realistically might be worth like a nickel apiece if you have a use for them. If there’s a handful of actual clay chips in there, they look like they’d mostly be worth less than fifty cents apiece.

Most of those are cheap injection molded chips. You can see dots on the rolling edge and face left over from the manufacturing process. The 5 or 6 hot stamped No Player chips look to be THC Paulsons.

Now that we got that out of the way, can we ask what their asking price was?

Ooh, ooh. I guess $200.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I was under the impression this wasn't something I should hop on, but I was hoping maybe someone saw something I didn't.

For the price...........

Listed at $100 originally and discounted to $50 at this point.

I’d pay like $20 just for the FISH chips

Sometimes I buy sets like that just for the cases and throw away 95% of the chips... But even at $50, it would be a hard pass
