Ok....Why do YOU think it was a private auction? I would rather not see a private auction....BUT if I did have a high end chip up for auction AND knew a person would not bid unless it was private you can bet it WOULD be private.

Another question for you.....

Why do you think that an auction where a chip goes for over $6,000 does not warrant it being private. I'm sure there are a number of people who would rather not have others know they are bidding that high on a chip.........Andy - Las Vegas
