Garry; Perhaps I've misunderstood your two posts that appeared on thechipboard. If so, I appologize in advance. However, your original post requested that folks get in touch with you and you provided an email address.

"Is anybody interested in buying casino chips from Russia? Thre are about 40 casinos in Moscow only. I have access to the other cities' chips too. Drop me a line at glavred@yahoo.com."
.... Garry Baldy.

Then after whetting several people's appetite mentioning 40 casinos in Moscow with no chip descriptions or prices or details given ...; that you didn't want to deal with emails from them? I receive at least 30 emails a day from chippers and respond to everyone of them. If you intend to sell chips to supplement your income, then one would think that you would be willing to respond to your potential customers.

Secondly, you state that you are not a collector, but want to sell Russian casino chips to collectors on this bb.... most all of whom are club members. Do you belong to CC & GTCC? No one really knows who you are or how legit you are. Do you have any references to offer?

Thirdly, the problem you mention regarding payment (and delivery) for your Russian chips DOES present a problem for some (not all) U.S. collectors who may not be confident dealing with out of U.S.A. transactions.

Hope my response does not offend you... but one must be very cautious in dealing with unknowns. Several of us have been burned before.
