don't have in your POSSESSION, it unethical at best.

At least by cancelling the auction it looks as though the seller doesn't have this set of chips in their possession.

The seller should NOT have placed this set immediately up for sell on E-bay since it was NOT in their possession.

What would happen if the chips were lost in the mail and the only rememdy that the seller received was a full refund and not a replacement and the auction had ended and the seller had received his funds?

WHAT A MESS!

It IS unethical to sell something you don't have actual possession of.

As for the use of the scans, although they do look identical except for size, one would be hard pressed to prove that it is their scan without some sort of identifying mark these days(especially placed on the chip or item itself. One could take anyones scan and edit it with software out there and make it look totally different. As I have done here.

I hope you don't mind Andy, I DID copy your scan here and have changed it, just to show how easy it is to do. And the link is coming from my website.

I for one don't have any problems with anyone grabbing my scans on my website and uploading them into their computer for their own use. It's just one of those problems with the INTERNET these days.

HOWEVER, I do have a MAJOR PROBLEM with people who would use a LINK to my images on my website as they are STEALING my bandwidth, which I have to pay more for if I go over my monthly limit.
