Well, Archie that may solve the ban, but what about your personal ethics.

You've signed onto a pledge not to buy ANY chip from a dealer who sells slabbed chips.

Oh, but if its a really good buy, then I can find some justification. The guy selling me the chip isn't really dealer, he's just selling one chip.

Well Archie, what difference does that make. He either bought it slabbed, or he got the chip slabbed for the purpose of helping him sell it.

So how come it would be alright for you to buy a $3,000 for $1,500 as long as it gets cracked out of the slab?
