There has been a lot of talk on the board lately about chip
dealers....here's my 2 cents...(as if anyone gives a rip!)

I know that there are many that think the chip dealers are
taking advantage of the chip collectors....If you have never
gone from one casino to the next trying to gather chips then
you don't know what a huge hassle it is. I know I'm going to
be blasted for this but here goes....I don't think any of the
dealers are making a living doing this....of course, I can't
say for sure, but that's what I think. As you all know, many
of us were in Tahoe last weekend. I tried to gather as many
chips as I could to trade with those that I trade with regularly.
This week has been crazy! What I mean is...in packaging the chips,
making sure that so-and-so got such-and-such, emails back and
forth to confirm what everyone wanted...drove me kind of nuts!
Don't get me wrong trading buddies, I don't have a problem in
trading with any of you....but it made me realize just how time
consuming it is to deal in chips. I'm not a chip dealer...and I
don't think I ever will be...those of you that have traded with me in
the past know just how scatter brained I get during a trade!

If a chip dealer makes a few bucks on a chip, hurray for him/her!
They deserve it!

My 2 cents...
