prices are down....economy & no new blood in the hobby. Look at the CC & GTCC membership....losing collectors & not much new blood joining. It won't be long & there will be no convention, just 2 or 3 chip shows per year.
Answer....I wish I had one. Only LV Casinos doing chips are Hard Rock, FQs (not many), Binion's, Palms, Club Fortune (Henderson), this is also part of the problem. Casinos quit (they tell me) is because of gaming turning down too many requests (Riviera told me this)
LOOK at what happened to Silver Strikes, most collectors dont like the silver clad stuff....lost many collectors there.
MOST collectors collect not to make a killing, just because they like them...
Let's do some math...$8 for a chip, my cost after mailing over $7....really making a killing, a $1 chip shipped for $3....LOSE money here. I have thought many times about quitting, just not worth it, but I am still hustling chips....for how long, who knows....
