No Rene, not quite true. Many of us (dealers) have a spouse that may join us. But what has happened on many occasions, especially at Hard Rock, is dealers helping dealers, especially the new issue service people. I had dealers get what they needed but got back in line to help others that still needed more to supply their customers. There is a tremendous amount of respect amongst certain dealers and once their needs are met, will help the others even though we are competitors. I've gotten from and given to people such as Chuck, Ralph, Gene, Janice, Jerry, Andy, Dave and others whom I can't think of right now. These are all people who are actively trying to promote the hobby with a common thought of providing chips to others that can't be here at a price that perhaps covers their gas, tokes, and maybe a breakfast.

BTW, rumor has it that one or two people sucked up most of the Harrah's March Madness chips. I guess that is one I'll never have in my personal collection but I'm not going to loose sleep over it. There have been several chips released in the past year that I've not been able to acquire for various reasons but my collection grows with those I can get. I'm happy with that.
