Its not my auction, but I do have some opinions.
The 500 Balinese Room purple color is one of the key chips in any Galveston collection. There is a yellow 500 chip, which is obtainable, but the purple is down right impossible. I have seen 3 examples sold for $500 each.
The HDC chips are the harder to find denominations. The 100 red is the easiest to find and sells for around $50. The $5 and $25 sell for around $250-300 each.
The Sui Jen's are finds from a couple of years ago. I sold them for a guy in Galveston who found 11 of the $1, and 7 of the $5 chips. He was selling them for $700 for the set of two and they were all sold. The $100 denomination has become obtainable recently, but no more of the lower denoms have been found.
For all those who said they have these chips, I would suggest you look again and make sure you have these denominations. If indeed you paid under $100 for any of these chips, you did really well.
