<< I have sold many of these so called hard to get chips for $5 also. I still feel that trading is the best way to go.>>

Happy to hear that, Brian. I believe that by doing the above really helps the hobby.

Dealers are an important asset to hobby, but for those of us who cannot afford their prices I am happy to hear about people such as you who are willing to discount your chips so that all of us can enjoy the hobby as well.
