***** CYBERAUCTION LOT LISTING AND CURRENT HIGH BIDS *****

Following are the lots for auction from now until Monday, August 2, 1999. We culminate with the live chat/auction session on Wednesday and Thursday, August 4 and 5 on AOL.

If you cannot attend the live auction, all you have to do is send me an e-mail with your bid (even dollar amounts only, please). E-mail bidders DO win lots! Please be sure that I have all e-mail bids by 6 pm EDT on Monday, August 2. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS NOTE TO BID: instead, send me an e-mail at ChipProf@aol.com with the lot numbers you're bidding on and the amounts of your bids.

HERE'S HOW THE AUCTION WORKS...........PLEASE READ THE RULES!

From now until August 2, I will be posting notes here to update everyone on the status of bids received. Like a live bid board, you'll be able to see the amount of the highest bid, and adjust yours accordingly.

Bids: I will not accept bids for less than face value for current chips, nor less than $2 each for roulettes. Bids may be made in the following increments: $1 to $10 - 50c raises; $11 to $25 - $1 raises; $26 to $75 - $2 raises; $76 to $150: $5 raises; over $151 - $10 raises.

The consignor's names do not appear as part of the lot listing, nor will high bidders' names appear when I post updated e-mail bids. I will post a complete list of prices realized after the auction, and will include the consignors' and successful bidders' names and e-mail addresses for each lot at that time.

IT IS THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTACT THE CONSIGNOR BY E-MAIL AFTER THE AUCTION, to make arrangements for payment and shipping.

Please do not ask me to e-mail you the results of the auction. There are too many lots, too many consignors, and too many bidders for me to do so. Remember, there are no commissions associated with this auction, and I do this only to provide a way for collectors to sell their duplicate casino collectibles and to purchase what they might need for their collections. All you have to do is check here after the auction to find the results so that buyers can contact sellers.

Unless specified otherwise in the description of the lot, THE BUYER PAYS FOR SHIPPING.

If you intend to participate in the live portion of the auction, you'll need to print this list of lots, because the descriptions here are the only ones you'll be able to refer to. During the live auction, lots will be auctioned by lot number only.

There are some great lots here, and not limited to chips, so this auction should be fun for all. Send me your e-mail bids soon!
