I'm under-employed in the winter, so things are usually skinny when its cold, but this winter has been particularly brutal. My eBay sales have been disappointing, and the repair work I do locally has dropped in quantity, or to get the work I've had to really low ball estimates. Chase has started the foreclosure process on my home. I'm not too far away from stopping the process, but I'm not there yet. I've had my home for 21 years and I don't want to lose it.

Below is the majority of what I have left of my Colorado NCV chip collection. Going by the most recent Colorado Chip Price Guide by Allen Banick that I have, low value (Allen's guide places both low and high values on all chips, much like TCR) of these chips are as follows: Gilpin (2 chips) $25 each; Gold Rush (3 chips) $50 each; Imperial (8 chips) $25 each; Jubilee (2 chips) $40 each; Long Branch (4 chips) $25 each; Loose Caboose (4 chips) $20 each; JP McGills (2 chips) $20 each. That's 25 chips with a low book value of $700. I want to sell them as a single lot for $300, which breaks down to an average of $12/chip, more than 50% below low book. I paid a heck of a lot more than that for this collection, but, I need cash flow and I need it now. If nobody is interested in the lot as a whole, I will consider piecing it out in sets at 50% off low book value.

I hate having to do this, but I really don't have a choice. Racing season doesn't kick into full swing for me until later next month. I can't wait that long...
