As you all must know by now, it's been common to see fantasy chips represented as real; Borland "closed casino with dates" chips represented as real; James Bond chips as really in the movie, etc.

Recently, I've seen a new group of chips represented with inflated price tags...even called r@re...with some regularity. The new winner for being misleading (especially in price): Panama chips!

Just to be clear, I'm NOT talking about the groupings of Panama chips offered at very reasonable prices by Mike Spinetti.

I'm referring to some of the listings at the "Panama" page link below. Thankfully, most of these don't get bids anyway, but it only takes a few suckers, er bidders, to encourage more of these listings. It's a free world out there, but I hate to waste my time scrolling thru misleading listings such as these. Now I know how Archie feels when he sees that "R" word.

OK, got that off my chest. I feel better now!
