I was watching a $1 Klondike Chip on Ebay. R-3. I have seen this same chip sell for around $10 in the past several months. After spirited bidding, it sold last night for $41. There is a $1 La Rue, R-4, on Ebay now. A month ago a similar one sold for around $20..this one is at $36 with still 4 days remaining.
Maybe the high-priced rare chips have dropped in price due to the economy, but it seems the middle-priced chips are still selling strong..
