"I HAD TO MAKE 3 TRIPS TO THE CASHIER,,,, 4 FULL RACKS OF CHIPS ARE HEAVY. THAT IS ABOUT ALL A PERSON CAN CARRY AT ONE TIME...WITH OUT STANDING THE CHANCE OF DROPPING THEM,,,

DONT FORGET, I ALSO HAD A LOT OF BLACK CHIPS AND GREEN CHIPS AS WELL>( $100.00 / $25.00 CHIPS)"


Suggesting 12 racks of at least $500 = At least $6000

However, I make a habit of not beleiving people who type ALL IN CAPS AND ARE GIVING AWAY FREE MONEY.

Actually, it suggests at least 9 racks (2 full trips + a third trip), so $4500, he says he had greens and blacks too, so assuming that is true add 250 minimum. Subtract his buy-in of $500, and you are winning at least half of 4250, so more than 2k anyway.

That said, I wouldn't bid on this, I don't think it's legit.

It can be fixed way to easily so that the winning bidder only makes a small amount if anything at all. No matter what he says about it being a set amount, he can change it easily. I don't think anyone has the pot odds to buy it.

No... assume all the racks are white, or worse 50 cent pieces. Then assume he had one black and one green, and you're looking at a bigger screwjob than before.

EDIT:

So what exactly does the seller get out of this (assuming this is legit, which is a *very* questionable assumption)?

Check the picture I "fixed" above. The seller is getting a pile of Paypal money in trade for a $20 bill, about fifty $1s, half a crack pipe, and about six bucks in shipping charges.

In short, he's making a killing.

It looks like eBay cancelled the auction. At least I don't see it anymore.
