Michele-I'm curious as to why you felt it necessary to email a bidder of a auction in progress(which I thought was against ebay rules) to tell him how many chips there were. The term "rare" is used constantly on ebay; there is no set definition as to what is rare. I think 200 chips in existence could be 'rare' compared to other chips in the 1000's. You stated that with that quantity, the price should range between $75-200+; the high bid of around $90 falls in the low range of that scale. Many, many dealers place chips up for auction without disclosing how many they have, much less how many are in existence. While I agree that the ad may have been the usual overhyped ad, that's what ad's do. I'm not sure what in the ad is really a lie, as you state. Is that not the chip in the TCR? Is there a black and a brown? I'm just curious, because ebay interference is a pretty serious thing(in the ebay world anyway<g>) regards, Mike
