You didn't mention the J rated ($50-$59) Big Red's $5 for a staggering $16.03
Dunes $500 k rated ($60-$74) went for $36 (admittedly this is close to the value listed in C/W book but the cost of the slab still needs to be figured into the equation).
The Carousel $25 although coming close to book value didn't cover the cost of the slab at a $11.05 final price.
Desert Inn $5 G rated ($25-$29) likewise failed to cover the cost of a slab at $9.05
Oh and remember that .25 Horseshoe chip that wasn't slabbed . . . the reduced price is attributable to chippers not wanting to do business with a Slabber. (BTW it sold to a buyer who has only 1 feedback and its from over 1 year ago). Legitimate Buyer or a SHILL to protect the seller? You decide.
The Best result was the Caesar's George Burns $100 chip (which I believe is still redeemable at the cage for $100 if unslabbed) sold for the price of $96. with the $4 postage the buyer bought this one at face.
Carousel $100 chip I rated ($40-$49) sold for $21.
And that Wilbur Clark's DI sold to a bidder with absolutely no Ebay history of buying casino items. This could be one of those new collector's Sahara says they are bringing in . . . or it could be a SHILL. You decide.
The bottom line is there were only a handleful of bidders on these auctions and most of them bid on multiple auctions.

You would make more money if you gave up slabbing.
