BriaN; I think most astute chippers on this bb knew full well who you were referring to in your innocent sounding post.... several of them who are subscribers have emailed me. The explanation I gave wasn't for your benefit, as you already THINK you know how I conduct my business. It was for those who are not familiar ...

As for your question, "So in order to reward the loyal customer of five years you allow the customer "who may have just signed up in a service only one month ago (and who may drop out a month later)" to help set the price by bidding on them. This is the fairest way of deciding who wants the chips the most right? Or is it the fairest way to decide who wants to pay the most for them?"

It's the fairest way I know of how to distribute the limited number of chips I was able to obtain. You're mis-leading analysis stated above is way incorrect. The highest bidder did not usurp my customer of five years.... If you are really interested in getting the facts, instead of "getting even", you would know that ALL of the Tropicana Poker Championship chips in my possession were awarded at the exact same price to my bidders... so the bidder "who wants to pay the most for them" got one (at a far less price) along with those who bid much less. I'll let my loyal subscribers be the judge of how fair my process is and allow you to conduct all the lotteries you like with your own chips.

If you would like a further detailed explanation of how my service works, instead of spreading false information, please email me and I'll give you all the details .... as you are lacking a awful lot of facts.

BTW: I don't see what your reference to COTY/TOTY has anything to do with the above.... or is this another plank in your "get even" agenda?
