LOL DUNES CASINO CHIPS COMMEMORATIVE $25000 CHIP LAS VEGAS - eBay (item 280223915296 end time May-06-08 16:57:50 PDT)
I sent this guy a message telling him how big of a joke this auction is and here's what he had to say: Quote: Dear links_slayer,
actually jerk, i paid $50 for them, right here in vegas, so go fly a kite dude
- movies_r_me
| I guess if he/she bought them in Vegas they MUST be the real deal.

I wrote to the guy pointing out if they're "commemorative" they just came out, and they're not rare. He wrote back, "I got them at an estate sale, that's all I know." Yeah, that's plausible...
So I wrote back "You got taken at the estate sale--theChipRoom.com has them for 32 cents each and by the truckload, not at all rare--would you be willing to change the phrase 'rare' in your auction?" No response yet. I'm holding my breath...  |

This is too funny.....this is what I wrote to him.
"I have a set just like your and I paid $5. You think I could sale them above $40 for them? If so, they are going to ebay. I didn't know they've gone up this much. Woohoo...."  |

Yeah, he just wrote back "DONE" and that was it. Well, I'm pleasantly surprised, but somebody that doesn't know better is still going to get hosed to the tune of 45 bucks or so. Oh well, we've done what we can. Caveat Emptor I suppose. |

Ok so this is what he wrote back to me. Interesting....he purchase of $50 and want to sale them for $50.  From a real estate sale, shouldn't real estate sale is cheap therefore, you would think these chips worth more. Another OBVIOUSLY I GOT TAKEN, I DID PAY $50, LUCKY ME, ANYWAY, HOPEFULLY SOMEONE ELSE WILL TAKE OVER MY PROBLEM 
I SAW ONE OF THESE CHIPS HAD SOLD FOR $12 THE OTHER DAY, SO, I GUESS THERE IS HOPE .........
