Jim,

No, I don't have any eveidence, but do have a couple of thoughts.

Vegasclarks (Dean Clark) uses the word "rare" all too often
but I bid on several of his lots at one time in order to take
advantage of the "break on shipping and handling for multiple bids".
I've found that looking at "going, going, gone" can reveal some
bargains at times.

I have had no problems with the chips I've received from him
and the chips I've won in Dave Whalen's auctions.

It's the break on S&H that motivates me.

Joe
