You can PM me an offer. But I'm thinking someone will jump on these.

I always liked these - IMO one of the nicest Chipco casino sets on the market. Some pictures of stacks and some more info on chip condition would surely help selling these

Thanks for the nudge, but we're on the road, and our Internet access was down for the last two days.

I do think these are perhaps the nicest casino Chipcos produced, but in addition to the Chipco white ring, as you can see on the lower denoms in the pic, they are prone to color bleeding or transfer, etc. Happily, the ones I already have are virtually mint.

Also, it's tough to get anywhere near $1 per chip for used Chipcos, unless you catch a buyer with a personal connection to the casino or some similar attraction, or someone who really need the higher denoms, mainly because you can buy new ceramics at that price. Without added costs for special molds, spots, and colors, ceramic chip price ranges are much more compressed.

So at 75 cents each or less, I probably would have grabbed them, but above that I have to pass. GLWS, though.

Particularly shots of the awesome racks and racks of $5s.

I'm pretty sure I sold you 500 mint Surfside chips a few years ago. Way less than a buck a chip back then. I miss them

Feel free to visit them in Florida. I'll put you to work unpacking boxes of chips.

Old CTers will remember Dr. John's awesome "weekly chip pron" threads and this looks like a good opportunity to dip into the past:
