Let's say I go into a casino and ask to purchase several of their $2.50 chips and the cage person says "how many do you want"?

Half jokingly I reply, "I'll take them all"!

Now it just so happens the cage manager is there and He or She says,OK!!!!! That very morning this manager was in a meeting where the owner had expressed a total discust for said chips, wishing he had just silver on his Blackjack Tables which if paid out with two slot slugs and a half dollar coin thinking he could increase the clubs yearly take by 1.5% (2.1 million dollars) and at the same time increase dealers tokes substantially.
The collector leaves and contacts some fellow opportunists and buys the chips for $2502.50!

How does this make them dirt bags!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Many LE chips are bought up this way and it always causes an uproar!
Yes we all get upset when a chip is cornered but this is a Chip Dealers dream!
The casinos are in these chips roughly 65 to 75 cents!!!!!
Other examples:
Harrah's Reno 10 Cent Chip
Harrah's Tahoe Bud Ice Chips
Casinos unwittingly cause these problems with the thought of obtaining revenue for something they should probably destroy if they don't intend on distributing such chips in a fair manner; Destroy!!!! Another collector pet peeve.
