I shouldn't even reply too this message because you probably twist my words anyway. And I decided a little over a year ago not too focus my energy on anything negative anymore.

Your type of message is exactly why the chipboard went down in the amount of messages posted. It use to be almost 200 a day. And now its only 50 too 100 and most of those are check out my auctions.

Anyways no matter what I do someone will have something bad too say because they know it better.

You say 500 a chips is way too low. What do you base your opinion on?????? Let me tell you what I base my opinion on.

Last few shows we always did 500 chips. And we have never sold out. Everytime we are left with a couple of hundred. Now the hard rock does Pindex chips and that is the biggest collect chip in vegas. Any hard rock chip but yet the only do 500 . Now you want me too do 2000 of each.

The point of the chip is to make some people feel special and say thank you. There is probably 100 more that deserve it. So we do 8 a show its gonna take us another 6 years too cover em all. And by that time more will deserve it.

These chips are also being made to get people come to the show. Even though nobody in this hobby makes and money my dealers seem too care about attendance. So the chip is a perk too come to the show. Now you want us too do 2000 of each chip. Wow that would be a $16,000 investment. Let me know when I can expect a check from you. And you can be the investor for such a fine task :)

We be selling the chips for years and I would need $16,000 twice a year.

Now trying to convince everybody too not the chips is kinda silly. We are not a Ma and Pa operation. Everyone had to sign release and agreement forms. And to be honest everyone felt very honored to be placed on the casino chip.

And now one more thing. Because You seem to be confused about it. I promote casino chip shows too make money. I AM IN THE BUSINESS OF CASINO COLLECTIBLES . I do not do this because I have nothing else too do. Makeing a profit is not a nasty word for me. Do you think every time the hard rock releases chip 200 people stand in line for fun. Or because they make good money on the chips. Do you think ebay makes any money of us. Do you think all the dealers at shows set up for just fun. Or do you think sales matter. Do you think the Palms issues now get this $300,000 of face value of playboy chips just for fun. Or do you think they are happy to make $300,000 . I noticed you have a web site and you sell chips for several hundres dollars. I am sure you didn't pay that much for them. I hope you are not makeing a profit from this hobby.

Profit is part of the hobby. This is why the hobby grows.

And that is all I am going to say about the subject. If you don't like the chips then just don't buy them . I realized a long time ago somebody will always be upset about something in this hobby.

Best Wishes
