What's the going rate on Stardust Poker Mansion 5$ cash chips?

 

[ruskba]

Seems to be $1.50-$2/chip for sales on here at least.

Paging @RainmanTrail and your Chip Price Chart.

I'll give you the exact numbers when I get home. The tool is on my Macbook still

OK, so there isn't very much data available for the $5s by themselves, but if I dig into the mixed lot data, at least historically (note this is without running a regression model), the $5s and $1s were pretty much priced equally in the past. In fact, there was even a straight up swap of them a few months back. However, the 5s are now more difficult to acquire than the 1s are as evidenced by the number of transactions. When this happened to the $25s, they gradually went from $2 ea in 2014 to $10-13 ea today. The only straight $5 auctions in the database have them priced at $140 per rack, but those are both 2015 prices. The set has risen overall about 25% in value since then. If I were to price a rack of $5s today, I'd list them at $175 knowing I'd have no problem at all finding a buyer at that price, and maybe at $200 on eBay.

What's funny is that in the beginning, the $25s weren't really selling for much of a premium. Only about a dollar more than the 1s and 5s. Then, one day, they seemed to magically be selling for $10 ea lol. Gotta love this hobby...

Thanks Rainman. Where are you sourcing the data from?

I love these charts. It would be a great section in resources if all the chip data was out there.

Someone should create a chip pricing app, kind of like a stock market streamer but for chips

Love the info. and the charts too. But where is the section that shows chips are worth what someone is willing to pay for them?

I believe that is filed under the following section...

 

[Psypher1000]

The $1s and $5s both hang around $150/rack.

eBay, here, chiptalk, and one other forum so far

true, but the 1s are easier to find now, so that will change
