Interesting angle, part of me hopes no one falls for it, the other part of me hopes that whoever buys it plays poker and I find them at my table....

Wow, and there's nothing to even report. "Found on floor" "marked $500". He never mis-represents the chip.

OK, now everyone needs to report this to ebay as a good conscientious chiptalker. It's just not right.

It angers me that these ****heads sit and think of new ways to misrepresent their items with the direct purpose to rip off unknowing buyers, while hiding behind the impersonal anonymity of eBay.

I also just noticed the $10 for shipping & handleing... What a ripoff. How does one report a seller to ebay?

Very easy.

At the bottom of the listing you will see something like "report this item"

Then follow it through the system...then you will get to a page that may look strange and tells you to read FAQ's, but in tiny text you will see "email ebay" and it takes you to the report section.

I sent him the following question:

Do you realize you have a home game chip you are selling? Casino De Isthmus City is a fictitious casino from a James Bond movie. If it has top hat and cane around the edge it is worth maybe $3 at most, if it has clamshells around the edge it is worth maybe $1. If you were unaware of this just take down your auction, otherwise ebay will be notified. If you don't believe me, search ebay for isthmus and you will see several other auctions.

We'll see what happens....

I'll try that. I looked on the page but didn't see that.

I like it. This falls under so many basic premises of life, mainly - if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Nice one! Way to dumb it down for the Layman... As no one would ever know that "flames around the edge" is what they are looking at with the BC mold. I thought it was a clamshell the first time I laid eyes on it too.
