I posted an earlier response and defense of dealers that got double clicked and I guess lost...so bear with me if this is redundent. I paid premiums the same morning from the same tables you all mention and complained too that these should have been made available to members on opening day. The scarcity was due to chippers that bought more than one and became dealers. Your all dealers if you trade or sell at any time and it is just a matter of degree. When something goes bad in chipping, it is too easy to tag the collectors/dealers that have paid for tables and lugged 1000 lbs of chips to shows 4-10 times a year. The early sellout was due to a combination of circumstances, not a few dealers that went early to buy racks...which I heard was not allowed. You don't have to charge over face to become a dealer....and the members that bought them to trade are not completely innocent of creating scarcity....another matter of degree. Dave Harber is able to supply some of your needs because he is able to buy more than a few
and that seems acceptable. Tired of dealer slams....Mel and Lisa
