The prices of your chips are in line if you are selling. But if you are trading current chips .I usually go with If it cost $5 in the casino then I should get what costs $5 in the casino. I will trade 5 -$1 chips for a $5 chip if it is a chip that I want. After all ,I am trading duplicates. The only thing is the difference in postage. That will even out over the trades. I try to stay away from trading discontinued chips because everyone thinks there chip is better than yours. I do not trade tcr value. In the end I would still rather trade than buy. Its more fun. Happy hunting.
