I believe you on what you wrote about the pricing - as I paid premium on my early snappers collections - now they are all below cost.

The "joy of collecting" is no joy at all when you think of how much you giveaway in terms of low price and outright gifts - sure the intrinsic value is there but that is not all about the hobbies out there - and I beg to say that is not all about the chipping hobby too, it should not be but the economic realities are there and the timing when the chip supply are plentiful because there are chip collectors who are unloading or downloading all their or part of their collections, "timing, timing and timing".

Best bet is to drill them all to the retaining wall in my backyard.
