John, Archie - I think you may both be missing the point of the original post to this thread which was about the Cotton Club chips. Numerous times they have been listed on ebay and numerous questions were asked of the seller "how many do you have" and the reply was "mind your own business". If I inquire about something ANY individual is selling and I get an answer like that, then shame on me and whoever else does business with this person! In any "business" and this IS a business, a buyer should expect honest answers to his/her questions when contemplating a purchase from a seller. Does the seller have to broadcast his/her new finds or inventory totals...the answer is NO. If I ask how many do you have then YES, I feel I deserve an honest answer. Anyone who doesn't is praising deception, something our hobb....opps, business doesn't need.
