Bob-thanks. I actually had checked it out, and was impressed with the variety of stuff offered. I was (half) joking in my response to a fellow newbie as there has been a large volume of postings concerning eBay in the few days I've been reading this board, and all seem to relate to chips being misrepresented by sellers. Of course, I realize most people probably won't post something like"I just bought a chip worth $1000.00 for ten bucks on eBay!" too often. Thanks again for your comment-I certainly intend to place a bid someday on eBay myself! Mike
