I agree about most of the dealers being great people. I have a list of about a dozen ladies and gentlemen that I have purchased from in the past. I will not think twice about buying from them again. Most of them are CC>CC members and deal with current or LE chips. I also take many chances on unknown dealers when the price is right. But then I am only risking about 10 bucks. I have yet to ever get burned on an auction(knocking on table). I am a bit aprehensive though about venturing into the higher priced realm of Vintage chips.
