Impressive work......

I've been watching this auction with the intent on picking it off late....and cheap. Thanks to the original poster bringing mass attention, that is no longer possible.

I don't have my notes here at work but I did some figuring as well but I used Ebay resale values.

Im going off memory here so bear with me and I could be a little off.

Ebay resale value determined by looking up each chip and where they have been selling is $430. So to determine what the value TO ME is.....

$430 - 12% (combined ebay & paypal fees) = $378
$378 - $5/chip profit = $275.

So in order to make it worth my while to buy and resell, my max bid would have been $275. That would provide an approximate $5 per chip profit ($105). If I sell on the boards or get better than anticipated on ebay....maybe a little more.
