I hope you know that by putting that many WI. So-called destoryed obsolete chips on the auction block at one time you have also destroyed any market value on them

Hey I colect Wisconsin chips... What market? What Value?

I have to fight tooth and nail just to find someone selling WI chips, so I can buy them.

I have never sold these as "destroyed" chips, and yes they are all long obsolete.

The history of the Sands/Majestic Pines chips is that they were offered in the club Mag. and people had boxes of them, years ago. I just found some more.

The RCC chips din't show up often, and still didn't sell well, I tried to trade them and got looks of distain, because they say "RCC" on one side and $5 on the other. No casino name. You can add that they are from Wisconsin...

The Rainbow are Chipco, and excellent design and a casino name on them. The bidding reflects that. Funny part is the $1 is hard to find, the $25 almost impossible and the $5 has been common for years. Do you think the $1 gets good bids on eBay? (I bought the $25 Rainbow Chipco for virtually face plus a couple of bucks)

I might add that I started these auctions below what I paid for some of the chips. If I lose money, that should tell something about the Market and Value for Wisconsin chips?

I refuse to inflate prices or pretend that something I have in quantity, is Rare. It's hard enough with the truely unusual 50c RCC Blue and Rust chips and the $2.50 from Wisconsin which are scarce, and still don't attract proper values. The reason is that there just aren't many motivated Wisconsin collectors out there. Same thing happened when I had some previously unknown California chips, and with a HS roulette from Elko.

No motivated buyers, not much value.

I'd like to find someone with the chips I'm missing from Wisconsin. I'm motivated! I'd like to see someone print up a chip guide for Wisconsin, with values, because most collectors consider "everything from Wisconsin is a cheap chip" and that's Not True!

Good for us, (I realise you collect WI Dwain) because we can get hard to find chips at reasonable prices, bad for sellers, because a one or two of a kind, or unusual chip, doesn't even attract high bids.

I'd do a WI book but first thing you know, someone would come up with a bushel basket of some chip and the prices would be attacked and I'd be accused of bias because I collect and sell WI chips.

So lets the chips fall where they may and the auctions are for home play sets. I've seen in the past where this actually removes chips from the market, because they are gone from collectors hands, forever.

I know you are an active and "Wonderful Wisconsin" collector. (always been a good guy too) This is nothing more than exposing some common chips to the marketplace. There are still many, many, hard to find obsolete chips from WI.

Best wishes in your search for the roulettes and obscure obsoletes that were not sold by the box full By The Casino. Notice how most of these came from Rainbow and Majestic Pines? Just like the H&C from Rainbow that were sold from the cage, drilled for $25 a rack.

RCC isn't anymore. They aren't too concerned with some old chips and making some money instead of dumping chips into the lake, makes more sense to someone who needed the money, living up there.
