Define "new"... just because I sent my application in a few months earlier, I get to pay $10 for ONE?

I don't have a problem with Rene "getting" all the chips since there is a degree of "opportunity" here... and being able to take advantage of the "opportunity" is part of the "chip deal". I DO have a problem with one person taking "them all" and selling them at an inflated price just because they HAVE them all.

Rene... if you were charging what "the others" typically charge for a new issue chip (especially when 100's are available... but in this case - YOU are the ONLY person with 100's available) I would gladly buy the chip FROM YOU at 'standard rate' ($7-8) and dismiss the rest as "sour grapes" for the others that missed out. But to hold them hostage -until you max out their value potential - denying EVERYONE in the US a fair reasonable chance to acquire this chip - in DECENT condition... I'm sorry. THAT STINKS.

I guess you'll sell as many as you can - and throw your surplus back on the tables in 3-4 months when you are out of buyers... LET them get a few dings and scratches... THEN I can pay George $7.00 for one if he manages to get one for me off the tables... because he knows I REALLY want the chip??????

Know what? In the future... George Conrad???? I'll take a castoff down the road. You 'll recognize it when you see it... it'll be the one with all the scratches.
It'd still be a deal @ $7.

Ps: Rene? If you have not mailed the one I sent you the $$ for last week - please do not mail it at all. Just return my $$. I am NOT saying I will not do business with you - NOT AT ALL - but I'd prefer NOT to on this chip. Thanks.
