Who in the heck is “Ken” when I see this “Ken pricing?”

I must know.

Welcome out from under the rock

It's a lazy phrase that sellers use to create a scavenger hunt to find the actual cost, instead of, you know, just saying what the price is.

I liken it to going to target and the list price is "MSRP from manufacturer" and you have to go google what the manufacturer MSRP is

I don’t know why they just can’t put the prices in a listing but this is what I found: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/things-that-are-bullsh-t.12105/post-2191583

Calling @kk405 …

Instead of ‘Ken pricing’, It would be great if people just posted prices in their ads… alternatively they could link it to the post with all the original prices …

P.S. It would be great if everyone posted their prices clearly, showed every edited/changed/reduced price, and kept all of them intact after the sales and before closing the thread… this is not about TP chips … but everything offered in the classifieds…. Just one opinion.

I appreciate that all the original prices are in one place, thanks for that.

Does anyone know of a source for previous NAGB prices?

if i were a rich man singalong special

Yeah I dug through a lot of previous threads but I figured I'd ask lol

The truth of it is that it doesn't really matter what the original nagb prices were. What matters is what buyers and sellers are willing to agree on right now. That IS how price is determined, not some price that they sold at many years ago.

Go have a look at the classifieds and use the "search" feature to do some research. If you are a seller and you are still unsure, use an auction. If you are a buyer, and unsure then go slow and/or PM some longtime members that have bought and sold whatever chips you are interested in. People here are usually happy to be helpful.

If that was a set I’d probably buy some just for the memes. A whole Barbie themed chipset would be hilarious. Make Ken the frac.

Went to go photoshop Ken's head on a chip & then post but got blindsided when I found this:

I guess Ken DID come inside Barbie's box at least once....

Thanks for the tips, might take yall up on it depending on how deep into the rabbit hole I fall.

Market price moves by supply and demand, but the original price is still relevant for me and others like me. I like to buy around the initial offering price. If demand pushes it a lot higher, I don't begrudge the sellers, but I personally am not interested. I'll wait for something else.

Not remotely true. The majority of good deals are private, but represent a huge amount of the sales here and operate at a price not close to “what buyers and sellers are willing to agree on right now” publicly.

Add to that, there’s chippers who would prefer not to sell their chips at some artificially inflated price, and prefer to reference historical pricing as a barometer.

Sadly for new people and the future of this marketplace, jackwagons are going to make up the majority of the public space.

And don’t get me started on “market price”. We are not seeing the price buyers and sellers are willing to do, we are most often seeing only the absolute tip top price ONE buyer is willing to do. Which is not the buyers fault, it’s the audacity of sellers who all come out and extremely overprice items with OBO, essentially amounting to private auctions.

But it’s the Wild West. No good faith rules or anything similar set in place. Post a sales thread. Lower it by $50 or $3k through editing, no one will know. Doesn’t sell? Simply erase the price and close, reopen a sales thread in 9 months.

It’s sad, you’d think every PCFer publicly selling is going through divorce/foreclosure/mounting medical debt.
