I was just surfing through some ebay deals (if you could call them that) and saw this http://cgi.ebay.ca/Rare-500-Vineyard...QQcmdZViewItem
Is it just me or is this WAY overpriced? This makes even the Inplay Clays look like a bargain.

| | | Real Casino Paulsons, these aren't the Bluechip "Commemerative" sets. "Supply and demand baby", as Scotty Nguyen would say.

i've seen this chip go for as high as $400. only 100 were ever made, and it's an oversized chip. would i pay that? definitely not.

| | | Looks like pics of 2 different chips to me. One is in a plastic cover dated Aug 17. Look at where the fruit is hanging between the denominations. See how the "bottom" of the branch is even with the "top" of the hat? Now look at the other picture dated Sept. 19. Look at the same thing. On the 2nd one, the "bottom" of the fruit is overlaying the "top" of the hat. |

| | | Really, the person that bid on that needs to take a good, hard look at their life. |

| | | Wow.
That auction has assuaged any residual guilt I had from buying my last pair of shoes. At least I can wear those.....
Like I always say, "Thank goodness you can't snort poker chips." |

| | | I need to correct my post, I misread the auction, I thought it was for 100 of these and just over $2 didn't seem too out of whack. Now that I reread it, are these really that rare? I've seen these floating around, are the $500's that uncommon, maybe $5,000, but casino's have dozens of $500's at every table I've ever sat at.

| | Anything that is sold on eBay is always rare, unique, and one of a kind.
And the rarest thing that you ever find on eBay is the truth  Quote: |
