What would happen if Rich had the $30,000+ chip on ebay and you found the 3 boxes of the same chip?

Given the facts of Rich's scenario one of four things would happen...

#1 The 3 boxes of chips get destroyed.

#2 The 3 boxes of chips get insured and "stolen" in a few years.

#3 The 3 boxes of chips, and a detailed letter of instruction, get put away for the grandkids to discover in 50 years.

#4 The 3 boxes of chips get notched and sold for $100 each.

I really like #4. That's another 30 Grand.
