No, not fake. I have purchased the El Rancho chips from the same seller of the ones in the auction.

But to get those chips at those prices is incredible...if they are valued properly. Perhaps a hoard has been found and I missed the notice.

But for the most part, at least all the auctions I track on Ebay, the higher value chips seldom get close to the low book value assigned. Perhaps the sad shape of the economy has something to do with that. Was just wondering if anyone had some input.
