Always an interesting auction. Since I have a few minutes to kill, here's some superficial analysis on the highest prices realized. Out of 354 total lots offered, the top 5% is 18 lots (rounding) totaling $18,320, or an average of $1018 (not including the buyer's premium & sales taxes). Indeed, half of those top 5% (or 9 lots), were each $1000 or higher.

The top 18 lots range from $460 to $1800 per lot (again, not including the buyer's premium & sales taxes).

If you want to check out the individual lots, their numbers and prices are below.
Also below is a link to the 3 pages of pictures that Todd posted when the auction started.

So, that's the raw data for the 5% high-flyer chips in this Chip Chat Auction. See any trends or anomalies?
