Re: Keeping Chips from Casinos
[ QUOTE ]
Playing at the Horsehoe-Tunica a few months ago there was some guy (decent player) who said that he'll sometimes take a half-decent $5 chip home (fairly new in other words)...wash it a little bit...and sell it on e-bay for $10.
Obviously if you don't get a bid that is worthwhile you can just bring it back to the casino for $5 I guess.
Not sure if this guy was for real or not.
Also not sure if you might be able to find someone willing to pay $125 for a $100 chip...or willing to pay $550 for a $500 chip.

Wouldn't be shocked if this were true. For some people, since they just want the chip, its cheaper/easier to pay a little "handling" charge than to go down and pick it up themselves.
