Gene,
An excellent "political" answer!<g>. If you notice Greg has at the top of this board an area for dealers to advertise their name. He sells this space. I would assume if dealers could advertise their products openly here on the board - there would be no need for this ad space. Chequers did the same. They sold space for dealers to advertise their name AND their products. In my opinion, the board should be for sharing of information, trading chips, notification of chip finds etc. Individuals offering a chip or two for sale/trade is NOT what I'm talking about. You more than anyone should understand what I am saying. Why do I have to be constantly made aware of East coast auctions??? There are some individuals who own casino collectable businesses who post on this board - yet you would never know it. Take Steve Piccolo; you almost have to force him to say anything about his new book. The same for Archie. Archie told everyone his book was available and that ended that. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying my opinion should control - I am merely stating my opinion as food for thought!!!
