Re: Advice on selling chips (about 1000)

Same thing I wrote the first time you asked the question.

You will have some bidders, for collections that will pay $3 a chip, for one of each, but the market is limited. After that you will have lots of chips and no more buyers, and can sell them for years and years at $3 a chip to a small number of people.

After a few more years you will still have hundreds of chips left and be spinning your wheels, with your money tied up in the leftovers, paying eBay fees, paying for envelops and shipping. If you want to do that for the long haul, just keep listing them three at a time for $9 until you get no more bidders. grin

OR...

Put them up by the Hundred, starting at 35c a chip. And people will bid them up. Anyone who wants to make a home play set will bid so they can get the different colors, or bid on one color to add to their Chipco set.

100 chips like yours will weigh about 2 1/2 pounds so consider that for the shipping. It's going to be $21.05 Priority USPS because of the weight, or go to a UPS store and it will run around $10, depending on the distance.

Here's what I'd suggest, from past experience. Auctions for;

100 blue
100 red
50 red
30 red
100 yellow (six auctions)
50 yellow
30 yellow
then put up the three chip set, four more times for collectors.

You move the chips and optimize your return. The four collectors sets will sell, because there won't be any more. The rest will go to home play sets, and the extra 30s will get picked up by someone who wants to stock up on traders, or a color tha they want for a higher value home play set.

Just a suggestion.

If people start bidding on the lots of 30-50-100 you might see 85c a chip or more.
