I am the so called shill bidder, I have a chip rack book right in front of me as I type. I look for good bargans for my personel collection. I also sell items that I dig up in pawn shops and other places. I don't bid on any thing that I can't afford. I have no intention of not paying for something in which I end up as the high bidder. Most of the chips Mackeral sell's, I cannot find way up here in Montana. I do enjoy e-bay for giving me the the chance to bid on items that I don't have in my collection, even though some of the better chips get out of my price range. Thanks; cablemansam
