Does anyone know who "sedp" (eBay seller) is?

I ask this question because I would like to know if anyone knows him/her to be a Club member. He/she is currently offering Joby's Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo chips on eBay with descriptions that quote the C/W Price Guide quantity estimates, as follows:

"Joby's Monte Carlo was opened by Joby Lewis on 6/17/55 the Casino closed 9/1/56. Chip is in excellent table used condition with no damage. Beige/3 Red inserts.
Hub Mold. Rare chip with around 20/25 known. Chip rack #8802--Books @ $240.00" [This auction closed at $34.99 with the winning bidder being garp01.]

"Joby's Monte Carlo was opened 6/17/55 by Joby Lewis and closed on 9/1/56 The chip is in VERY GOOD condition with table wear evident. Some fading on the hot stamp but a very nice piece none the less. Hub mold. See Picture. The $25.00 chip is orange with 3 blue inserts Chip Rack #N7722 Book Value $300/$349 Best estimate is fewer than 16 known of this Chip. No Reserve." [This auction is still underway as #2127106957. The opening bid is set for $40.00.]

"Listed as Monte Carlo Crystal Bay,Nv 1957/61 Color is green. Small Greek key mold. Chip is Very good++ condition. Hot Stamp shows some table wear but easily readable and much original color,slight fading. Cross hatching 98% intact. See Picture Chip is extremley Rare with a book value of $200.00/$249.00. Chip Rack#V3079 In Very good condition. No Reserve." [This auction is still underway as # 2127107824. The opening bid is set for $65.00.]

"Joby's Monte Carlo Crystal Bay,Nevada 1955/56 $0.25 Chip.Dark Maroon in color,Small Greek key mold. Chip is near mint. Hot stamp is sharp and 99% complete with all it's original color. James Campiglia states between 8 and 15 of this Chip are known,making it extremely rare.See Picture. There WAS some confusion about this chip,and I'll try to clear it up. The Chip was made originally for Joby's Monte Carlo Crystal Bay,Nv. in 1955. Then when it closed in 1956 the owner's Joby Lewis et.al.Opened the Monte Carlo in Hawthorne,Nevada and this chip was also used in that Casino,[Since it says Monte Carlo with no specific location it could easily be used in both places.] See "The Official U.S. Casino Chip Price Guide" By James Campiglia & Steve Wells Email questions. Shipping
$2.00 No. Res." [This auction is still underway as # 2127107402. The opening bid is set for $40.00.]

BTW-These four chips are the same as the ones being offered by jackas39. In this instance, the one currently being offered by "sedp" were listed just before "jackas39" listed his.

Anyone want to send a polite message to "sedp" that his/her referencing the C/W Price Guide for quantities is very misleading? In the meantime, does anyone know who "sedp" is?

Thanks,

Jim Follis

Jay, I think that that is a more realistic value.
