Poker chips


87 Antique Clay Poker Chips Engraved Eagle

ended - Sunday, February 10, 2008

Auction grade: B

Starting bid: $24.99

Final sale price: $86.89


Up for sale in this auction is a collection of eighty-seven poker chips. These chips have an older design and feel to them. The seller doesn't mention exactly how old they are, but by looking at the pictures it certainly looks like they've been around for a while.

Apart from some grammar problems, this isn't that bad of an auction. The seller has a few good pictures of the poker chips, and really, there isn't a whole lot you can say about them. It would have helped if the seller still had solid information such as the original box to prove their age.

The seller also mentioned that the chips could use a little cleaning. Obviously, if the seller did that part the chips would look a little bit better in the pictures and they would fetch a high final sale price. In other words, by not cleaning the merchandise the seller is throwing away money (a sales term known as "leaving money on the table").

A more enhanced title, fewer grammar errors, official documentation, and cleaner poker chips would have resulted in a higher auction grade.
