... to uphold Richard. <g> BTW, "reputation" and "worth" (or "value") are not necessarily the same in any event. Some people with great reputations are actually pretty worthless; others with lousy reputations may actually be significantly worthwhile citizens (not naming names, here!).

Any chip is "worth" exactly the amount the seller and the buyer agree upon to exchange ownership. We should all remember that these things (especially the obsolete ones) have ZERO intrinsic value.

It also seems very odd to me that anyone would criticize the seller of the Sky Harbor chips (I don't know who this person is) for failing or refusing to take advantage of his corner on the market by gouging buyers. If you (or Jim P.) think these chips are worth more than he's selling them for, offer him more -- maybe he'll sell you one at the higher price. ----- jim o\-S
