Hi Mel,
Part of the problem with this hobby is we keep to much information to ourselves. The individuals who price structure and manipulate do a terrible diservice to the hobby in general and the collectors they deal with. In addition, they create the conditions honest dealers and collectors suffer for and with. My post to Terry was not meant to be inflammatory. I really don't care who reads my posts involving these deceptive practices. For someone who wrote "Secrets And Lies" I am really taken back by your suggestions. My post does not apply to honest collectors and dealers from Northern Nevada. It applies to just a few who seem to think "we" collectors were born yesterday. I, like many other individuals in our hobby, are not dealing with these few - yet they still manage to cause problems for those who purchase their chips either directly from them or the dealers they sell too. Best, Jim
