That post is in a much nicer tone than the last one, Paul. I agree with everything you say. I still don't know if you are accusing me of scalping my subscribers on low issue chips or not. Your first post below seemed to imply that Reno needed a new service because the current one was run by someone bent on lining his own pockets and charging exorbitant prices. If I misread that, please enlighten me.

The worst case of chip outage due to low issue numbers in Reno since I've been offering a service was the recent Hilton 2000 HAN chips. All of my subscribers were taken care of at regular new issue prices. I've done very well on the extras I bought. Life is good!

As to the Riviera porn star chips, I'd like to retell my experience with those. When they first came out, Pete Rizzo offered on this board all 3 for $20, which included shipping. That's like no profit at all! I thought they'd go great with my tittie bar collection, so I emailed him I'd take him up on his offer. The next morning I sent off my check, that night the bottom dropped out of those chips. I was scared to email Pete to see if the deal still stood. I thoroughly expected to get my check back. Not so, a few days later my chips arrived. I commend Pete for honoring his offer. BUT, I would support 100% that anyone who suddenly wanted a set because they were pulled, SOL! Pete had every right to profit on the sets he had left. Thanks again, Pete!
