First let me say hello to you all. My name's Dave and I've been a sporadic collector of both chips and strikes. I am a member of the CCGTCC #R-6369.

I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum on your board before, and I have looked for it, without success, so please tolerate a stupid question once more.

As I went through some of your threads to familiarize myself with the group, something became clear almost immediately -- of all the groups I've visited on the net, this is one of the nicest. You help each other and look out for each other without the constant anger, animosity and vindictiveness that usually finds its way onto a board like this. This is my long-winded way of saying the you all should be very proud of the way you conduct yourselves!

Here is where I would like to seek the group's experience and wisdom.

I have several strikes (30-35, some dups, all from Strip hotels) that I want to sell. I've looked at eBay and Jackpot and have found that strikes are sold in 3 ways -- individually, 3 or 4 grouped by theme, and entire collections.

Most of you can probably already see where I'm going with this, but here it is: from your collective experience, 1) which method stands to bag the highest bid; 2)which has the most likelihood of selling at all?

Some of my strikes are worth a little more than others (from what I've researched). Are people interested in buying dups as part of a package??

Thanks for getting through this long post. I really appreciate it. If anyone can help, I would welcome any opinions. If the group needs a specific list of what I have in order to help the best, please let me know and I'll put it together for you.

Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter.

Best regards,

Dave Lewis
