Yeah this guy lost his marbles long ago with regard to pricing these.

That 20 sure is nice though..I wouldnt pay that but its nice..

It's another set I wish I'd bought from @dolomite128. He collected a fantastic breakdown and had mint $20s and $25s.

Actually, and im probably shooting my self in the foot by saying this, but i was able to make a BIN offer for the San Ramon 1's.
I was able to get the 1's for $175, plus $10 shipping. Which is still pretty expensive, but i was still able to talk him down some.
Maybe he will let the others go for cheaper too? I have my eyes on $20s as well ... but meh ...

This seller is the original source for Outpost chips. They are pricing now based on what single chips sell for at collectable shows. I do not think these prices are market prices - I'd call them crazy prices.

Pricey wheels.

Yep, the Outpost $1s and $5s are pretty worn, regardless of which casino location. But the Pacheco chips are definitely worth more than the more common San Ramon versions. $175 may not be such a bad price for those, at least to some people. But like the good Doctor said, $250/rack is crazy talk. That's what near-mint GCOP chips are selling for. :

Those Brown $1 chips were the ballz! My favorite Paulson chips...the warped ones (Long Cane Version) were a kick in the pants though. Baking those chips sukt.

Would give an arm for 10 Pacheco $20 ! Or any $100 Pacheco,

I ended up making an offer via messaging on a set of 1000 chips (200 - 1, 600 - 5, 200 - 20) and the seller refused to even counter. Admittedly, my offer was low, but when a seller asks the buyer to open negotiations with a first offer, I think they are obliged to at least counter even if they qualify that their counter is their last best. Not good faith negotiation imo to simply refuse to counter.

 

[DrStrange]

The original source is blinded by the lofty prices he/she gets at memorabilia shows and perhaps fears creating competition by selling a big block of chips at a steep discount. Might be the seller is nearing the last of the chips and is justifiably holding out for top dollar. I suspect the seller considers their eBay offering price to be a reasonable place to start the discussion.

I found them unpredictable to deal with. Sometimes unresponsive, dismissive even rude. Other times helpful and eager. Maybe give it a month and try again?

It was about an hour ago. He still has plenty, but evidently thinks they're worth $2+ each even in quantity.

glad he has plenty but he went to crazyland on his prices maybe as long as a year or two ago after a long period of very reasonable prices for playable cash sets you accumulate what worked for your games, the quarters were pricey then but everything else was a bargain

maybe it was more than only a few years back...i lose sense of time
