Allen,

I noticed several large lots of chips on eBay from a Vegas pawnbroker/second-hand store? Obviously, people are foregoing the auction/private sale route and selling for quick cash...the broker is then turning them on eBay. If you recall the rise of gold prices in (i believe) 1979...people were having their fillings extracted and turning a profit on them. The word is getting around...chips are "gold". Expect more "finds" to come.
