I can't say that I'm not pleased with the way the auction is going, and I do feel that the auction will continue to do well. Skip and I have exchanged e-mails. I am a little upset at the original post but he was appoligetic in his e-mail to me. I am not here to make enemies, I'm here to make friends. Thom's responce was one that I think a lot of people were thinking but were not going to say. Either way, people will pay what they think the chip is worth to them. That's what matters. Now, I think I'll stay out of any arguments. Like many of us, I am in the casino business and have a very busy weekend ahead of me. Hope everyone has a safe New Year and have a beer for me!
