Janice,

Why do say DEALER like it's a dirty word.
I see that you're listed as a helper for Bill Akeman's table at the convention. Bill's a dealer.
When I say I'm not a dealer, I refer to the fact that I don't have a list of people that I supply chips for. I'm not a new chip service.
Do I sell chips on e-bay, you bet I do.
Could I make a living selling chips on e-bay, not in this life time.
Do I sell chips on e-bay for a profit, again you bet I do. It helps to offset the cost of my collection.
I think the problem here is that you and I have a different definition of the word dealer.
If we go by your definition, then yes, I am a dealer, and I didn't lower my voice and turn my head away when I said it.

Have a great day,
Ralph
