Paul; You asked how someone can afford to send out catalogs at $3.20 each per pop? When one is in BUSINESS selling chips, they have many legitimate expenses which they can deduct from their Federal income tax reports. One of them is postage. As for the term "collection" (I think it was Bob Orme) that was used further up the thread.... Andy H. correctly stated that it was "inventory". Big difference between "collection" and "inventory". Either way, 800,00 chips is a lot of chips to dispose of .... and I don't envy Bill Akeman's chore that lies ahead of him.
