It's not the several chip case that had me thinking of sending a prepaid envelope. Normally we're talking the 1 or 2 chip sale. I just did a quick eBay search on my successful bids. I've won 164 auctions going back to 4/11. Not all winning bids made the reserve, but still there is a pretty penny involved. I can have a chip sent between 2 pieces of cardboard for 33 cents. Two chips for 55 cents. I happen to be a gambler at heart not to mention very trusting. If I prepay to ship a $10 chip uninsured for 33 cents and it gets lost, its my loss.
