FOR SALE THE EL RANCHO VEGASDICE

I AM SELLING ITEMS FROM CASINOS THAT I NO LONGER ACTIVELY COLLECT. I WILL LIST THEM HERE FIRST AND IF THERE IS NO INTEREST, I WILL LIST THE FOLLOWING DAY ON EBAY. WHEN LISTED HERE THE PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE,WHEN LISTED ON EBAY I WILL SET THE PRICE. THIS IS DUE TO ALL THE FEES THAT THEY CHARGE.

I AM PROVIDING AS MUCH INFORMATION AS I CAN, SO YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION.

THE EL RANCHO VEGAS WAS LOCATED ON L.A. HIGHWAY (HWY. 91) LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, IT OPENED ON 4/3/1941, IT CLOSED ON 6/17/1960.

FIRST OFF I ONLY BUY DICE FROM JOHN BITTEL, WHO WROTE THE BOOK A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO CASINO DICE. IF I SEE ANOTHER SET OF DICE LISTED THAT I AM INTERESTED IN, I ALWAYS ASK HIM FOR HIS OPINION FIRST, AS JOHN BITTEL AND JEFF LAUDERBAUM ARE THE 2 FOREMOST EXPERTS IN MY OPINION ON CASINO DICE.

E1. THE RED EL RANCHO MERRY XMAS DICE ARE EXCEEDINGLY RARE. THERE WERE ONLY 4 PAIRS EVER MANUFACTURED, THE FOUR PAIR WERE BOUGHT BY SOMEONE I KNOW, HE SOLD THEM TO SOMEONE, THEN YEARS LATER HE BOUGHT THEM BACK.

THEY ARE ALL NOW IN HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS. I AM ASKING WHAT I PAID ON ALL DICE OR BEST OFFER ON THESE. I PAID $150. ASKING $150 OR BEST OFFER. THEY ARE NOT PICTURED IN THE CURRENT BOOK A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO CASINO DICE, BUT THE AUTHOR SAYS THEY WILL BE IN THE 2024 BOOK, I BELIEVE AT $300 TO $399. THEY MAY BE RATED HIGHER SINCE THERE ARE ONLY 4 PAIRS.

2. THE RED EL RANCHO VEGAS DICE ARE L1672 1950'S RED, SOLID SPOTS R-4 $21-$30. ASKING $10 OR BEST OFFER.

3. THE GREEN EL RANCHO DICE ARE ANOTHER EXCEEDINGLY RARE COLOR VARIANT AND WERE ONLY USED ON ONE OCCASION, HENCE THE RARITY, NOT MANY SETS MADE. THEY ARE NOT PICTURED IN THE CURRENT BOOK A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO CASINO DICE, BUT THE AUTHOR SAYS THEY WILL BE IN THE 2024 BOOK, I BELIEVE AT $300 TO $399. I AM ASKING WHAT I PAID $150 OR BEST OFFER.

4. SIMILAR TO L1680 1950'S ORANGE 3/4" SOLID SPOTS, THIS STARTED A SERIES OF DICE WITH THE WINDMILL LOGO. ALL VARIANTS ARE SCARCE, R-11 BOOK VLAUE $300-$399. THEY ARE NOT PICTURED IN THE CURRENT BOOK A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO CASINO DICE, BUT THE AUTHOR SAYS THEY WILL BE IN THE 2024 BOOK. I AM ASKING WHAT I PAID $150 OR BEST OFFER, GREAT DEAL ON THESE RARE SELDOM SEEN DICE.

BOOK VALUE OF ALL 4 PAIRS OF DICE IS $921 TO $1,227. REMEMBER THIS IS ONLY BOOK VALUE, WHAT I HAVE INVESTED IN THEM IS $460. I SAY THIS BECAUSE IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE ME AN OFFER ON ALL 4 PAIRS, THEN I WILL INCLUDE A 24 COUNT DICE DISPLAY CASE, IT HAS A VALUE OF $50 TO $60 AS THEY ARE CUSTOM MADE BY A MAN ABOUT 10 MILES FROM ME.
THESE ARE ALL REALLY NICE DICE WITH 3 SHOWING VERY LITTLE IF ANY SIGNS OF USE AND THE ONE PAIR, IT HAS SOME LIGHT CRYSTALLIZATION AROUND THE EDGES.
SHIPPING WILL BE FREE AND IS ON ME.
