I'm with you 100%. This seems to be happening a lot lately. Witness the new %$.50 Fiesta or the Hot August Nights chips in Reno. Unfortunately, I don't live in these places and have not been collecting long enough have have a network of suppliers set up. (I'm working on it.) Until then, I guess I am doomed to continue to pay 50% markup for every decent new chip that comes out.

Dealers have a place, especially as a supplier of quality chips to new collecters a year or so after issue. And, after holdin a chip for a year or so, a fair markup is legitimate. But 50% after one day? Come on dealers, justify that one! (After re-reading this, may I should hide behind a cybername like Crusty Old F..(ellow)
