Paul,

I understand where you are coming from. I have seen several $1 chips at Ebay with a starting bid of $3. Rare and Obsoletes aside I think that is a bit much.

Other Auctions seem like a steal until you read the info on S & H charges and it is like $2.75.

Of course there are exceptions.

Someone not close to a casino needs to factor in actually having to make a trip.

Someone living in rural area may not have access to a close post office.

I myself am not near any casinos so if I make a trip for the express purpose of buy casino chips I would have to factor in cost somewhat.

Still, I doubt I would travel 270 miles just to buy casino chips alone. I have to deduct some of the cost as the price of having fun.

At any rate I don't see myself being in the seller end of things for quite a while.

BTW, all those factors in place. $3 for a $1 still seems pretty steep to me. And shipping over $1.50 to me seems steep as well.

I suppose some people may say even $1 for postage is pushing a bit. I haven't shipped any chips so I can't say one way or the other.

Anyway, didn't mean to ramble. I guess I did.
