Dear ad4m_h,

I was looking at all the nice Feedback you have received, along with a variety of items sold on eBay. I suspect that this item may be your first in the arena of casino collectibles, so my message is meant to be informative and not accusatory.

The chip you are offering is not a chip from the Silver Slipper. It was made well after the Silver Slipper closed and was meant to be a memorialization of the Silver Slipper by a Las Vegas based chip manufacturer. That chip, and 1,000's just like it were sold at retail for about $00.69.

In the chip collecting community, we refer to that chip and the many just like it, with different old casino names and open and close dates, as Fanatsy Chips. I could only ask that should you encounter more of these chips that you not promote tham as being "from" the casino, as they are not. You are welcome to validate the authenticity of any casino chip (before or after being offered on eBay) by posting a message at: www.thechipboard.com

Thank you for your time.

Here is the response:

Sorry about my ignorance in the field of casino chips. Were [sic] is this chip from if it is not from the Silver Slipper.[sic]

It says Silver Slipper on the chip. It is a real chip. You can still play poker or any other casino game with it. If the opening and closing date indicate that it was not used in the casino then anyone that nows this info. will not bid on the chip and expect something else.

The picture of the chip is on the auction and that is enough. You or someone else bids and you get what you see.

Thank You for the information,

Adam

There is nothing in this reply to me that demands a reply. So I am leaving it as it is.
