@Frank

Did you see the $100s?

 

[Frank]

I did. Not sure if I need 'em. Thanks though.

Good condition and new condition are the same thing? Hmmmm....

That guy sold a bunch of those chips for $50 a rack

 

[AfterTheFact]

I have bought a set from him. He told me he purchased all the chips 20 years ago and is now selling them off. He's a bit hard to deal with as he's 75, disabled and with bad eye sight (that's what he told me anyways). The chips are a crapshoot. The $1's are bicycle tires, $2's are mostly new, $5's are well used, $10's are new, $20's are a mix of well used to mint, $100 used to mint.

On the plus side I love the colors and they clean up very well. I will probably have a set for sale once I get them all cleaned up.

I have bought a set from him.

Were the chips packaged well?

Some of the photos on eBay just show the chips sitting loose in a small flat-rate USPS box, which worries me, especially for new chips with sharp edges.

 

[AfterTheFact]

Not great. 300 shoved in an old plastic food container in a flat rate box.

The others were 100 lose in a flate rate small box with some cut styrofoam along the edges.

They all made it ok though. I heard someone else was shorted 20 chips.

Also it appears he sorted $20 chip boxes to 40% mint and 60% used in many cases.

Still a good deal at the original buy it now prices.

So who's all gonna bid the $10's and $100's up?

Is the base color on the $10s gold? Hard to tell from the pics.

definitely not metallic gold... but I'm not sure what it is exactly

 

[AWenger]

I agree, not Metallic Gold, but could be 'normal' Gold color, but my guess would be Butterscotch. But pics on eBay have a bad color cast, so it's hard to tell exactly.

Chipguide says tan, but I'm not sure that's correct, either:
