usually the first place I look. I noticed the same thing and thats the reason I posted.

And to better answer Ricks question on How does a new buyer know?, Try and read this board as much as possible. The La Rue chips and the find have been discussed several times. Also, do your homework. A list of La Rue chips on Ebay would have shown many that ended in the past 30 days meaning there is no way this is an R-8 chip anymore.

I urge all Ebay buyers to 1) Know who you are dealing with and make sure it is a reputable club member and 2) Do your homework or there is a good chance you may get burned.

Thanks again,
Doug
