At present there are no bids on Rene's auction of the 50 MM chips. While this is not personally directed at Rene, it is directed towards anyone that follows in this practice.
I believe the posts regarding these practices, when brought to light early enough on this board will have impact enough to get people to think twice before bidding. I hope equally it will have impact enough to keep people from hoarding.
Maybe it won't happen, but at least its wishfull thinking.
