Newbie question...

Hello I'm Walt. I just started collecting Casino chips. Jesus H, it's addicting. Anyway... I ran into something that I thought was a tad suspicious on ebay. (Imagine that, right?) So anyway, there is a fella there, selling Kings Crown chips, supposedly semi-rare and uncirculated. What I find curious is just how many of the same chip he manages to sell. Here is but one example:

R7 Obsolete Obs $25 Kings Crown Las Vegas Casino Chip

And...
http://cgi.ebay.com/R7-Obsolete-Obs-25-Kings-Crown-Las-Vegas-Casino-Chip_W0QQitemZ130116417950
Open for bidding. (Opened today actually).

If legit, this chip does list as an R7 in the US Casino Chip Price guide which should go for around $30 in uncirculated condition according to the guide.

Like I said, I guess what I find odd is the number of chips listed. Six so far (and that's just this one. Check his feedback for others). But I know many of you have probably been at this a lot longer than I have and maybe I'm just talking out of the side of my neck.

Does this seem fishy to anybody else?

Respectfully,
Walt
