I have been collecting chips now for a little over a year, but just got serious in the last few months(joined the CC & GTCC, made reservations for the convention, etc.) and have started to notice a few things.

1st: There are MANY people that will bend over backwards to help newcomers obtain what they are looking for reasonably. I was pschyed when I completed my Hard Rock $5 collection, only to have the "Lola & Mini" issue come about. I thought there was NO WAY I would be able to afford to obtain these 2 chips, BUT I was offered each chip at a reasonable price (not the $100 each on Ebay) from a "source", who knows who they are. All I can say is CLASSY, VERY CLASSY!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd: There are some people who will bend over backwards to get a newbie set up with some very nice chips just for putting your name on this board say you are "new", I lost count at 15+. Once again, very Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3rd: There are people that make things right if they think there is a problem. I won a couple of chips on Ebay that I could not find anywhere else from the same person, and emailed them about paying shipping 2x's. I received no answer until they shipped the chips. Not only did they give me back my shipping for 1 chip, they paid for all the shipping and sent the money back to me.

Finally: There are the ones that want to make the money any way they can. i.e "Mr. $2.10 Shipping/Chip" I doubt he has given any thought to STUPID his "policy" is, he just tries to defend it. I have a few suggestions for him. FIRST - Get a CLUE, the only people that need to put notes in their listings like "I always write an HONEST ad here on Ebay", "I am ID
VERIFIED and am a member of SQUARE TRADE", & "As you can see above I disclose my FULL NAME and PHONE NUMBER as well" are the ones trying to SCREW people. Second, Take a Geography class, the New Seascape is NOWHERE near Las Vegas. Finally, I will send you $2.10 to GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are in the same class as the Real Estate Agent selling beach front property in Colorado.
