Condition and breakdown?
I've sold a bunch of these over the last few months and believe that $1.50 is very fair in this market, assuming good (or better) condition.
If chips are decently used, I would offer closer to $1.25.

I'd say it depends on how dialed in they are to what they can sell them for and what their relationship to you is. If they're considering eBay and if chips are mint or near mint, they can easily pull $2.50+ per chip there and upwards if $3 ea for the higher demand denoms. But if it's a local Craigslist make offer scenario, then $1.50 is pretty fair. If it's a friend who doesn't want to later feel like he got screwed, then I'd probably say closer to $2 if they're near mint or better. If buying from @MegaTon44... I'd say closer to 75 cents ea 
400 plus mile drive to get them.
Ask the seller what he/she wants for them. If it's too high or too low for you to feel good about, then adjust your approach. 400 miles is a long way and I probably wouldn't pay $1.50 each (which is basically the market rate on PCF lately) if going that far out of my way.

I can get them for 1,000 but then I have fuel and time so I'm trying to see if I should offer less or there seems to be enough meat on the bone to offer full price and still be able to recoup my expenses.

Also consider the breakdown isn't ideal. It's very heavy on the ones, has a rack and a half of tens, and almost no high denoms.

Shit... For a 400 mile drive, I'm not paying more than $225 for the chips. If the seller wants more than that, more power to them, but it's not worth my time for Classics.

And...?
I say go with $1/chip. You have 6 hours each way to drive, and may show up to see chips in worse condition than expected. So I would def not start at $1.50/each paid here. Here you know what you're getting.
Edit: $1/chip is to be fair. But really if someone is selling chips on craigslist what are they expecting? He's probably expecting way way less.

At 50 cents a mile IRS rates, paying for packing and shipping at a UPS store is cheaper.
He wont ship only face to face cash trans action.
If he hasn't set an amount i'd offer $500- $600 and bemoan the fact that its 400 miles away.
Offer that knowing if he says no, at least you have a good starting point. So when he turns around and says $1000, you counter with $750.
Then he walks away and you drive to Dennys and think about what went wrong.

lol.....for the butt-ugly Classics inlay, no fucking way.
That's a different story.
I was recently trying to decide how much I'd need to save to make it worth it for me to drive 300 miles to buy fireworks wholesale, instead of paying retail prices locally. I came to realize that for me, it wasn't about calculating what my time was worth, or what any net savings would be - for me, it was worth it just to beat the system. But I have time on my hands.

I thought 400 miles was a trip to the grocery store in Alaska.
Be careful.
If the seller will only meet face to face, it might mean he's a hungry predator gunning for your butt.
Or I could just be being paranoid lol.
Protect your butt hole!
I will be in a he middle of nowhere. Will bring proper safety equipment.

I would pay $2.50 / chip but only if I got to make that drive!
I had 2000 Classics at one time and they got more play than any of my other chips. I kind of liked them but I only got about 65c / chip for them.
Obviously Paulsons have gone up alot but I really don't think that should apply to fantasy chips. I've seen crazy prices on high-denoms lately which is stupid IMO.
Why is a $1000 fantasy chip any more valuable than a $1 fantasy chip?
But they are still Paulson's. I'm guessing they are worth about 90c to $1.10 / chip in excellent condition.
If a Grizzly has eaten them and shat them out then maybe a little bit more; but not for the high denoms.

Bigger danger comes from the insane amount of energy that HAARP facility is pumping out.
Most likely rarity.. less were made of the $1ks than the $1s

Is it a friend of a friend or something? If not I'd actually offer around $650 cash. Otherwise I would be inclined to pass due to the hassle. Is it 400 miles round trip or 200 each way?
