I too used to think that Chuck was a great guy, and I still think he does a GREAT service for collectors. However, when he raised his rates I chose to find another place to buy my chips.

There are other just as great NIS dealers out there that are charging less for the same chips. (Like Andy, or Tyrus) I politely thanked Chuck for all he has done for me, and thought that would be the end of it.

Now, he has done nothing but slander, and bash my name around on this board. Isn't there something in the code of ethics that prohibits this? I feel very sad about his actions because I really did respect the man.

I wished I knew about his true feelings back when I was buying chips from him. I could have saved even more money by buying from someone else.

So here it is: If you want great service (and I mean the BEST service) for a HIGHER price, then Chuck Smorse is the NIS man for you. If you care about saving a buck or two, or three, or four... then you should stay clear of the man because if you, God forbid, stop buying chips from him then this will be the kind of UNPOFESSIONAL treatment you will have to deal with.

Be well,
Glenn
