Mike, you wrote:

Please explain that to me! The incident was certainly a "black mark" on motorcycle gangs, but they have never been known for being model citizens.

...and as far as I know, the Harrah's "but it's a dry heat" series of chips through the years has always had a skeleton in the Nevada desert doing something.

Your discription sensationalized the event but not the item. People who collect Harrah's casino chips, or Laughlin chips, or Dry Heat chips, or River Run chips would have bid on your item without your adding on the details of a biker gunfight. If your intent was to market to collectors of biker violence memorabilia, your discription was spot on.
