Remember these are "Chipper designed" Most casinos wont pay the 2-3 or more $ for these designs in bulk... they're "special" but not genuine casino chips and without any real casino history that many collectors like in chips. no dis to these but the price is inflated by 5 to 10X for "profit realization" by the folks who had them commissioned.
Also in regard to GPI, Angel, or whoever they are nowadays, having a plant here on the forum, that may be true, but what's the difference if the fact that it happened is revealed days or months or years after the fact?? It is revealed, it's obvious that they aren't that concerned and let it go on, they just don't want every Tom, Dick and harry ordering 600 chips every week. Its obvious that
@Lemonzest @kmccormick100 @bergs and others have an "In" and that's great! but the infrequent occurrence that these "orders" happen isn't because of the difficulty of getting it done, its purely to keep the mystique and "value" HIGH.
the process is kept quiet so as not to drive the value down not to prevent it from happening as it keeps "happening". If everyone knew how to get one thru these would all be $3 chips.
There's no criticism here on the part of the chips or the "orderers" of the chips, these are only my observations and suppositions. If I could pay $5 a chip and sell to others for $20 a chip I too would do it as frequently as possible but don't have the time or patience. The ones with the "connections" get all the free chips they want out of this, that's great. As revealed in many threads here, some removed I think, not everyone in this latest "Buy" paid the same as revealed by
@ImCrossland and others, but they as well as everyone else in the group structured it and all agreed so its all good when all parties to a deal are "happy".
Again I only comment not to criticize jus making outside observations, those who want to buy $20 chips do, those who don't, don't. I just find it really funny the few who said they had none of these had the most...... and find it more interesting that A set of weighted
TRK's with movie provenance sit at $4 a chip and these fly off the shelf at $20 a chip. All very interesting.... Congrats to the buyers who do this! Congrats to the buyers who are happy to have them after..... Happy Chipping to All!
I'm probly all wrong in all statements above who knows just another theory... But bet I'm close.
Vegas here I come!! see ya next week.
