Michael,

It would appear that you are seriously concerned every time an auction is mentioned on this board. I beleive this is what brought the Chipboard to your attention in the first place-the discussion on an auction of your's. Why not contact everyone one that we dicsuss here and let them know what is going on? This is a public forum and, as far as I know, all are welcome. Is it that bad that ideas and information are shared here among our members as well as anyone that choices to stop by? Ebay is a "caveat emptor" environment. That's why I believe an educated consumer is the best consumer.

BTW I have contacted all the people offering the chips on ebay that are in question. They all admitted to getting the chips at the convention. Whether they knew that the chip would be valued lower than in the price guides I cannot say. But they all knew they didn't pay anywhere near the amounts quoted and knew that a number of these chips were/are available.
