If I didn't have these chips, would have bid on them but not much more than you got for them. I don't think the price is unfair. There is a limited market for clay design chips. Ask Michael Par--many of his chips go unsold (although some go for very good prices--at least when I bid on them ). Given the recent postings on the board by people wanting monos to fill out their names there does seem to be a growing interest in these chips but I don't know how strong the market is.
