John,
I don't have to ask Gene. I got the story from those who got stuck as it happened. I remember it well. You see those who sit on hoards of chips have no patience. They sell some and then tell you a week later they have found more. Another week goes by and they call you again, All the while dropping the price since YOU now refuse to pay more. So it goes until the chips totally surface. You see John these type of people are hungry for the dollar and move very quickly. It doesn't take them long. When you purchase chips from those who know how and where the chip comes from no need to worry. The seller stands behind what he sells for a reasonable time. If he/she doesn't - they won't sell very many or very often. Wait too long and you miss out. Just ask those who wanted the $5.00 Golden Goose. End of story or as Skip says - "that's all folks" Best, Jim
