Dunes $5000 oversize - worth?

A friend of mine is thinking of buying from someone (won't tell me who) 50 original uncirculated Dunes $5000 chips (43mm). He showed me a sample! He got from the same guy, 50 original Dunes $1000 uncirculated chips some years ago, which I have seen (he says he will not sell these). He says he can get $25,000 chips. He may let me buy the $5,000s and $25,000s. How much are they worth?

I'd say $200-$300/chip for the $25k and $20-$30/chip for the $5k, depending on the condition of course.

Well...that's what I'd pay and what I've seen individual chips go for in the past...not sure about the price/chip in the quantity you're talking about.

Word.

I'd like to say "but if he has racks of them, he might flood the market, bringing down their value"... but the market already seems to be flooded, and their values are still high. Dunes chips seem to defy the laws of supply and demand; I've never understood that. Anyway, here's the price list from "the source":

Dunes Casino chips, Las Vegas gaming, Gambling, clay poker chips.
(don't forget to click "next" for page 2).

They often go a little cheaper on ebay (anywhere from 1/2 these prices on up, but some people even pay more - not sure why you'd pay more, though). Spinettis will also give a bulk discount if you're buying lots of 'em (like, by the rack, etc.).

Yeah, I really don't get this either.

Also watch out for $25k chips with REALLY off-center inlays. I've seen quite a few of them on eBay. No way I'd shell out $200+ for one with an inlay that's whacked especially since I know there are lots of them out there, plenty of which are fine.

Be very careful about paying an artificial ebay type per chip price for an entire rack or thereabouts.
