So, I'm sitting here reading about this and I'm was kind of mind blown first of all to see those types of chips popping up and if those chips were sold years ago in sets etc. then why hold on until now to finally let go of more? To me, it makes sense I guess in a way, but not 100%.
The one thing that makes sense to me at the moment is knowing that you would be able to get more for those types of chips in today's market. I have no idea how much they were originally sold for and what site that was on. Putting them on our own site as an auction is a bit iffy, considering you can put them on the orange wall and get tons more exposure, especially if it was going to include everyone on the forum. Also, I thought it was thoughtful to only have qualified bidders, but I know so many people that are looking for those chips and they 1000000% got excluded from those auctions because they were "qualified".
I did also think it was kind of iffy not remembering or having the original quantities somewhere for notes. I've got some good notes on my computer of different hoards etc seen online. I also think that if you come across a large number of chips and you want to sell them, then you need to have that inventory sheet or something somewhere to keep track of what you've sold, what you had and what's still available.
Overall to answer the question, "Do you think that location of the casino affects the value of the chip?"
In different ways it does. Small town Nevada, those places that had really small casinos, of course the chips are going to be more expensive because they are hardly seen, they're rare and so much more. Places that are larger of course will have more chips in quantity and essentially makes the chips worth less due to the supply.
It'll always come down to a game of supply and demand to me. The chips that are more in demand with little supply will be worth more, the chips that are out there with little demand will be worth less. It's different for "rare" chips because they aren't out there in quantity, but you never know when they can be out there in quantity. So, with that in mind it's hard to put a price on so many things. There's just so much to consider etc.
