I really appreciate everyones help and ideas for me. I also am happy to hear that i'm not the only one who has had these feelings. I would love to have a lot of the "better" chips to trade but then again unless I could find a pile of really good chips laying around somewhere it is going to cost me a lot to get them. I'm not sure where you guys all get your "better" chips that your looking to trade but it doesn't seem like I can ever find them (for a good price at least). Any more advice on how to get better chips for a good price would be greatly appreciated but is unexpected. Thanks again. Dan R-8220
