Hi Bob; One never knows how many chips Will took with him...as a send off gift..... nor do I begrudge the guy if he did. He has made many friends over the years as a Poker Room Manager, both at Tropicana and at the Taj Mahal before that. I'm sure that he would want to have a supply of chips on hand to give to his close friends, family, players, co-workers, etc. I'm also congnizant of the fact that many employees also wanted a memento of working with Will for many years and looked upon this opportunity to pick up a relatively inexpensive rememberance of him to put away.

BTW: Does anyone else find it strange that none of the chippers who work at Trop have chimed in on any of these threads..... you know, the ones who are following ebay so closely?
