John ----- Honest businessmen never need fear criticism directed at their unethical, dishonest & yes, greedy, counterparts. The comments which you found discouraging were written by a minority of collectors and directed at a minority of dealers. You & I have had some dealings thru eBay -- your service has been fast, friendly and honest. I can say the same for many other dealers I have bought chips from, both on eBay and elsewhere. Most of the comments posted here by attendees at the convention made it clear that it was, primarily, a huge success, for collectors and dealers alike. There's absolutely no reason why next year couldn't be the same for you. ----- jim o\-S
