Don't feel bad about not getting one, they will be surfacing at a lower price. I stopped collecting the club chips, once the pride of my collection, when (I think it was?) the Orleans limited edition and many people grabbed them but those that couldn't attend were cut out. Dealers had them at inflated prices, but I bet if I wanted one now, they would be much more reasonable.
Here's a story of another chip. First time I had one up on eBay it went for $110. Second one was $75. I think the third went for $45 and the fourth time it was auctioned at $35 (or less), so once the "MUST HAVE" people have got theirs you might find one at a much more reasonable price.
I could care less if someone got these for free and wants to sell them, best wishes. (and more wishes that it was me?)
Good Luck!
I have extras of the early convention chips that I got when I bought up someones collection. Maybe I should try them on eBay while there is a feeding frenzy? ;-) But they don't say Hard Rock and that might be the big difference.
