Be careful how you list them... grin

My first group of chip sales earlier in May, I had the word "Ivory" in the body (NOT in the listing title) of two ivory chip auctions & all went well. Four weeks later, I listed another two ivory chips in the exact same manner & within 30 minutes of listing them, eBay contacted me via telephone to notify me that the listings were removed as the chips violated their listing policy (item cannot contain more than 5% ivory). Relisted them as "antique gaming chips", mentioning a "bone-type material". There was no further issue with eBay & the chips sold.

As far as listing price -- they probably won't sell for a lot seeing as they're pretty worn. I bought one within the past year very similar to the "5" cracked one -- bought it for $10 or so. Unless there's a style that certain collectors don't have & want, I'm guessing in the $15-$25 range.

Not worth taking the chance, Fred.
