I forgot that every item in the club auction is cataloged and verified, plus evaluated. Chipped, worn, used, Etc.

The club auction raises money for the club. That's why I try to submit something every year.

I sent in something that I had thought was never used on the tables, it came out at auction as used. To my surprise, I looked and the gold hot stamp on some chips had turned to silver = used.

Most eBay and other auction sellers are just fine, all it takes is a bad deal to make someone sour.
