>Bob,
>First, it's not YOUR hobby.<

Yes it is, and it is also the same hobby of quite a few other people who take it very seriously.

>You can't run me off Bob, no matter what stunts you pull.<

If you mean telling the truth about what you offer for sale, I'm not going away, and I'm not the only one involved. Stunts aren't needed when dealing with a liar.

>As for the loans i have Bob, Who the heck said I went to lender's? You? Not me. You see Bob, i have many out there that trust me trust me with anything they have.They have loaned me money on a personal basis, no return like your speaking of.<

That's what I WAS talking about Mark. A lender can be a bank or a friend or a relative. If you got the money to buy thousands of fake chips from a friend or relative, I stand by my statement. Unless they don't ever want their money back from the loan, they made one of the stupidest deals I've ever seen.

>As for the chips, Want to buy about 15,000 of them Bob, i can swing you a deal.<

You can pack'em. You figure out where.

>Soon bob you shall notice some more, new "Fantasy' chips coming out. Ones I am quite sure you have never seen before and, I will warn you of one thing, you won't want to try and post the pictures of them anywhere for, I am the owner of the designs.
At present I have just around 30,000 blank chips, with the stickers to go into the centers being made as I type. I don't just sit here playing games all the time Bob, I market items, I create some too.
If you felt the "Fantasy" chips thus far looked too much like a Casino chip, you won't be too happy to see the new ones.<

Please do. ..and get ready to hire a lawyer.

>See Bob, there is a market for these items. I let the buyer's know what they are up front. The only person out here whom thinks the public is stupid, is you.<

.....problem is, you don't let them know. Preying on an uninformed public is not something to be proud of. You appear to thrive on it.

>While collecting "real' chips might be your bag, as well as many Fantasy chips, many out there don't care if they were from such and such Casino. They don't care if they were used in any casino. They are not into "your hobby" they simply see something that they like and, buy it.<

Sell that garbage at a flea market. Don't include it with legitimate items like you do on eBay.

>One thing I did notice, Bob, is that recently in one of the auctions to help that poor ill man had a bidder on it whom was paying a lot more then the chip was worth. The bidder had a much higher bid on it as well, a $100 bid sitting there. That bidder Bob, was me. I find it amusig that I did not get one single E-mail to "warn" me of the over payment for the item.
While I am still quite happy with my bid, for it was for a truly good cause, i would have thought that perhaps you would have shoved your nose into that as well but oh well. NO bob, I am not looking for kudo's or anything, If the auction was a private one, it would have brought even more for, some of us don't mind donating to a good cause but, don't want to stick out like suckers either.<

Good for you. I bid $400 on $6 face value worth of new chips to benefit the same guy. Lost the auction. Making the auction private wouldn't have raised the bids any higher. Those folks that have wanted to donate to this man's cause in a private manner have done so, from his local collecting chapter's club, and probably continue to do so. The auction was accurately described. I bid what I thought the chips were worth, even tho' I don't collect the area. Your lack of any understanding of community is apparent, as is you lack of understanding of THIS community.

>Back to the issues here Bob. You claim you have never done one thing in my auctions, we both know that is not true. I spoke with E-bay bob, your name came up. I pointed them to your postings and, we both got a good laugh at your stunts.<

I have not interferred in any of your auctions, period. When you speak with eBay, have them send me proof of what I did. Speaking to E-bay, that could be talking to yourself for all I know. If posting notes to a public BB is what you consider interferring with your auctions, I guess I should feel flattered.....but that isn't interferring with your auctions, it's providing information that TELLS THE TRUTH!

>Bob, you can't control the world, perhaps you can control your dog or your wife but, you can't control the world and, you are sadly mistaken if you feel you can control me.<

I can throw up a roadblock or two when I see people doing things that are wrong. You are witnessing that.

>Bob, relax, pay attention to the hobby which you hold control over and enjoy life.<

I don't control this hobby. I participate in it and enjoy it.

>I will sell any items I see fit, I will make any casino type chips I desire and, there is nothing you nor anyone else can do to stop me. <

Please do. ...and hire a lawyer. I've shared some of my knowledge here with you, but it stops with those type of statements. You don't know what you are talking about.

>Now, if I list them as being valid chips, you can go right ahead and report me, report all you want<

You are blaming the wrong guy. Post proof that I have!

>but, as long as I tell the folks out there what I am selling, the only thing you are doing is harrassing me and, doing what Ebay considers auction interference<

Blaming the wrong guy again. I can't prove that I DIDN'T do something. Please prove that I DID!!!!!

> ask one of your buddies about that, they got some letters about it the other day. I bet they won't do it again. <

Post it! Prove it!

>Also Bob, a former buddy of yours wrote me not so long ago (might still be your pal on-line) anyway he let me know how some just want to have the last word in things, I can see that here so, have your last say Bob.<

Maybe so on the advice to a point. When someone is wrong, I don't let it go.

>I will be back here and post as well as chat with some but, not about this crap anymore. The only other thing i can say Bob is, before you make more wild and crazy accusations, make sure you can prove, be VERY sure of it.<

You are selling fake chips, and say you are gonna do so until someone stops you. Nuff said.

>Have a nice life Bob, enjoy the hobby which you created and control.<

I didn't create it Mark nor do I control it.. ...however, I will fight any effort by anybody to harm it.

>For the rest of y'all. if you have any questions or concerns feel free to let me know, if you think I have honestly made a goof, let me know, I belive I have proven that I am willing to learn about some of the chips and, to correct errors,
Mark <

.....right.
