Jim, Thanx so much for your response, I understand exactly how you feel about pricing chips based upon the difficulty of obtaining them and also the rarity of the chip.

If I was going to buy a particular chips that I couldn't get otherwise except by personally going to the casino (which, by the way, I was doing until I happened upon the net), then even $100.00 for a $1.00 current chip would be well worth the price, but with the advent of the net and the ability to trade became available, then I feel that the prices being asked by many traders no longer warrents even a barter. Possibly, I am putting too little value on my own trading chips.

As I said before, I saw all those exaggerated prices on some of those chips being offered for sale that I immediately got turned off. I suppose if I asked, I would realize that most of the chips were for trade but I was ashamed even to ask. As I earlier stated, there were so many chips at that small show, I expected the casino to send up a chip runner to buy chips so they could use on the tables downstairs, as I was fairly sure that the cage could not possibly have more chips than what the dealers had.
