Crappy is in the eye of the beholder... chips have to be in really terrible shape before I would consider them too crappy for my collection.

I probably missed them since they don't show up on the link any more. I did notice a bunch of typical chips you're offering that end in a few days - by "typical", I mean nice-condition chips, less commonly found than others on eBay, very reasonable starting price. Would you consider unblocking me from bidding on your eBay items? I never was sure why that block was in place to begin with.

Here's the idea, though - in your current listings, I see about a dozen or two chips I could use, and would make aggressive bids on them as I have in the past. Maybe I'd win only a few, maybe none at all - but the point is that I'd be bidding, and thus driving up the final auction prices over each of those lots.

If I've done something to offend you, I do apologize, but to continue to block my bids is what my mom called "cutting off your nose to spite your face" at an expensive clip - it might cost you perhaps $20 in lost revenue, from me or another winning bidder, for this weekend's lots alone. I'll simply spend my money elsewhere (with plenty of it coming in from the IRS soon) and eventually end up with the same chips from different sources.

Give it a thought, OK?

Best,
