Seems a bit high, especially for a chip taken off the table in April. Funny enough, same seller is offering $25 chip for $29.

 

[jbutler]

Mark up on that $25 seems reasonable. Let's apply that same logic to the $5 and see if he agrees:

a typo perhaps?

 

[pokerpig]

Haaaa!!

 

[jbutler]

Negotiation 101, guys. From $1010 to $8.50 in one movement.

Had to have been a typo or just wanted his listing to stand out

Can you make another counter offer for less than the first?

Well, if it was the latter, I suppose mission accomplished. I doubt we'd be discussing his auction for a $5 Rivera chip otherwise

Not that I expect it to result in a sale.

I believe you can.

As incompetent as eBay is, even they have prevented that level of trolling.

EDIT: Maybe not according to bentax above. Someone else can further troll the guy, though. I don't want to waste his time if he's a legit seller and the original ad was a mistake.

Hmm. I thought I remembered someone doing that to me once. Maybe they just repeated the same ridiculously low offer as their original offer (not chip related).

I know chip prices have been trending upward, but I am in disbelief this set sold at that price. :

That is unbelievable! No offense if it was anyone on here but who would spend that much on WTHC chips?! Not saying they aren't a nice chip but they are not even in my top 25. With prices like that custom chips seem like a bargain now!

 

[David O]

That is more than what the second edition trops went for

That's not really fair, those didn't have wrinkled inlays

 

[Psypher1000]

Between a private sale here and that sale, the going rate for WTH&C is now around $3/chip, give or take a quarter - and that's stunning to me.

Funny! Anyway I checked the 1's I have and did find a wrinkled one as well. So it seems to be a common thing with the trop 1's.

This other guy has WTHC listed BIN at $6 per chip.

Where are these folks getting their prices?

 

[links_slayer]

The only thing I can think of is the price that singles are either listed or selling for....and just multiplying by how many they have. Makes me wish I would've Scrooge McDuck'd a crap load of Paulsons back in the day when I lol'd at >$1/chip.

They are using the "throw spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks" pricing method.

 

[Andrew Marks]

I am floored. That price is just unbelievable.

Who needs day trading when you can just buy poker chips. Bad example but wow what an ROI (in their dreams of course).
