Check out the final price of this chip!!!

First post, but have been reading chiptalk since it began. Alot of great info here (Thanks Ten!), and I'm really looking forward to getting a set of the Pharaoh's!

Take a look at the final price of this auction on ebay that ended today for a 1st issue Dunes chip.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

What's even harder to believe, is last year, another Dunes chip went for somewhere around $30k!

You have got to be kidding me. If someone has that kind of money to spend, they should just give it to me. I would put it to better use...

Money is relevant to how much you have. If someone's a multi-millionaire, this is no big deal and a fair price. Just ask the average person about your chips. Most people would think it's absolute insanity to buy a set of Pharoes for $1000 when you could get the same amout of a different kinf of chip, with case, for $49.99 on Ebay.

I collect old Vegas chips, but there is no way I could justify spending that amount on a single chip! For me, there is something almost magical about an older chip and I've spent quite a bit over the past couple years since entering the hobby. But $22,000 for a single chip is unreal!!

Right now, antique chips are extremely popular, and getting a good deal is becoming harder and harder to find. Prices are regularly exceeding the high price guide values.

I was ashamed when I purchased an older $25 Thunderbird chip from the 1940's for $160 (valued around $400), but now I don't feel so bad!

Hey redelite,

I see your location is TN. What city are you in? I'm in the upper east corner in Kingsport.
