Newbie: How do I valuate these chips? (2 Viewers)

[collin8579]

I inherited a poker chip set, what is the best way to determine the value in order to potentially sell? They are unused from a now closed casino.

(Paulson, and a full set but I will get the numbers and quantity shortly)

Already sounds expensive. People here will give you good pricing. In a private offer they might try to low-ball you, but not in this thread.

Unless you've stumbled upon something crazy, mint casino paulsons are probably worth somewhere between $1.50 and $4.00 per chip.

 

[collin8579]

I'm learning as I go tonight so bare with me. They are mint PCA secondaries, 350 @ $.5, 300 @$1, 200 @$5, 100 @$25, and 50 @$100

Probably closer to the $2.50-$4.00 per chip range, if they are really near mint.

Post pics and auction...the market will tell you what they're worth.

 

[collin8579]

So, Again,, as a noob - outside of the knowledge they have never been used, so do I just put up examples of them to show that they are Mint/near mint?

Post pics and auction...the market will tell you what they're worth.

Ok, that makes sense. But I would like some Idea of what to ask/look for

 

[navels]

post 'em on Craigslist and take the first offer you get from some guy in Seattle named Lee

Maybe. I think there are plenty of mint RHC chips that go unsold at two bucks a chip.

As I get older, I get closer to matching that description.

 

[collin8579]

Lol. I appreciate the info. Although I am going to stay away From craigslist lol

 

[Klobberer]

Tighty whities...I think this thread may have gone a little off course.

I always thought they were "tidy whiteys".

If you post pics here you will get a pretty close value. If you want to sell them...... an auction in the classifieds section will tell you exactly how much they are worth.

 

[Shaggy]

You will likely get more bang for your buck if you sell them in 100 chip groups (racks). I.e racks of 50c, racks of $1, etc. in that capacity, you could fetch $300 to $400 a rack. Not likely to fetch those amounts when selling the set as a whole.

 

[churlbut18]

Search through the classifieds to see previous sales... from memory, you’d probably see something along the lines of...

$300-$350 for 100 x $0.50
$165-$210 for 100 x $1
$400+ for 100 x $5
$300 for 100 x $25
$140+ for 20 x $100 (1 barrel)

If mint...

Your $0.50s I believe are primary. The rest are Secondary based on pic.

Also you cant post something like that on here without atleast a casino name......... lol were a bunch of chip nerds and already all fantasizing about what super rare casino chip they might be.

Edit

Never mind saw the pics....... nice chips

 

[FDLmold]

Nice chips. You have a few grand there.

 

[colter ripton]

My guess is 2500+ if they are in really nice/mint condition.

Maybe up to 3000

Yup, those are good ones.

Mint PCA chips are typically in high-demand around here, and usually command high prices. ^^That's a pretty accurate market assessment for peak prices imo. Around $3,000 total or so for the 1000 chips, best-case:

50c - $3/ea
$1 - $2/ea
$5 - $4/ea
$25 - $3/ea
$100 - $6/ea

Based on the less-than-optimum breakdown (too many 50c chips), you'd do better financially by selling by the rack (100 chips) and half-rack (50 chips). As a whole, the set probably wouldn't sell quickly for three grand.

 

[colter ripton]

Before anyone else says it.......... I'd gladly buy the 25s and 100s. Lol

The 5s would sell super fast too.

The other denoms would sell, but might take a couple days.

 

[johnjohn]

I'll take a rack of 5s, barrel of 25s and barrel 100s please. cheers.

 

[davin]

Don't let mel see those hundos lol

[liftapint]

Oh no, I really really really really need a barrel of hundreds!! Please guys! DIBS on a barrel of hundreds!

 

[collin8579]

I promise If I break it up I’ll give those of you who are interested first shot at them. still debating but have a good idea of what I want out of the total. Deciding if it is worth it to break and potentially be left with a lot of extras.
