I would never consider myself a dealer. Too much work, carrying that inventory, and traveling to shows, plus other overhead. No thanks!

Now I think your messages covers it. But instead of buying chips and trying to sell them, I can just gamble them and make my 50-100% profit. LOL I think that would fall in the 50% of original value area by the time I get out of the casino?

I suppose offering $25 Millenium chips, on eBay, at face value, plus $2 for shipping was asking too much? ;-)

I think the story covers it. The lady was making more rummaging and turning it over on eBay for a profit. Now the market is saturated and I think the buyers have become more aware that they can snipe items for low prices, much of the time.
