FOR SOMEONE THAT MAKES A LIVING AND HUSTLING CHIPS OR ANYTHING ELSE, WHAT IS THE LINE BETWEEN GREED AND OPPORTUNITY? IF THERE ARE 500 CHIPS MADE, THEN AT WHAT POINT, HOW MANY CHIPS, IS THE MARKER FOR GOING FROM OPPORTUNIST TO GREEDY BASTARD? HOW MANY CHIPS COULD RENE HAVE BOUGHT AND STILL BEEN "IN LINE"? DOES IT DEPEND ON THE NOTION OF POPULARITY OF THE CHIP? WOULD SUCH A RUCKUS HAVE BEEN MADE IF THE CHIP WERE FROM SOME OTHER AREA BESIDES LAS VEGAS? HOW DOES ONE SET THESE PERAMETERS TO THE AGREEMENT OF ALL? ONE OF THE PETTIEST THINGS I HAVE READ SO FAR IS THE COMOTION MADE OVER SOMEONE SELLING A CHIP FOR $2-3 MORE THAN THE NEXT GUY. IF THE EXTRA BUCK OR TWO IS GONNA BE SUCH A STRAIN THAT IT KEEPS A COLLECTOR FROM BUYING THE CHIP, WHY BUY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE? THEN AGAIN, MONEY MANAGEMENT ISN'T MY STRONG SUIT.
