Trav,
The market may be part of it, the economy and the fact that the 3 chips you showed are not from Vegas or AC may have something to with it. Over the last month or so, I have purchased some really good chips for 1/2 of TCR and was at times the only bidder. Opening bids ranged anywhere from 9.95 to 75.00.

I am not sure the market has changed that much from the convention last month, but I didn't see a lot of dealers at the show selling good chips at 1/2 of book!
