As a seller of a chip, don't you think that you are kind of shooting yourself in the foot as your chip may not realize the full sales price that it might of at auction? I think so in a lot of cases.

I agree... I think the seller should take advantage of the fact that someone else is interested in the item and should leave the auction on eBay. If that other guy wants it, I would want them to bid against other people instead of bugging me to end my auction early.
