....Dave told Josh & myself a few weeks afterwards at the Hard Rock how he paid a runner to get them when they were released.

Hi Andy,
I'm really disappointed to hear Dave would do such a thing. I just left his Web site and he claims they are all sold out......makes one wonder how 500 of each could already be sold out. When chip dealers do that they hurt the hobby. They deprive their fellow dealers but more important then that the collector can't get one for his/her collection. That stinks!!!!

As I said in an earlier post involvimg Rene, the future of the hobby is in the hands of the younger dealers and collectors. For someone, anyone to buy up a whole run of a chip is in my opinion ethically wrong. Dave should not have done that. I am more surprised and shocked by him doing such a thing than I would by most others. GREED is a terrible curse. It makes individuals do things they normally wouldn't do.

I know Andy YOU wouldn't do that. You're cut from a different mold......that I can bet on!!!
Take care my friend - Best, Jim
