If you're apologizng for your math, no need to be sorry.
What I am more concerned about is your obvious glee when seeing my post and jumping at the chance to imply I was being unreasonable.
Somehow I don't think you're sorry for THAT part of it... which is the ONLY thing I'd expect you to apologize for.
I say this because I suspect that had I indeed been trying to sell the chips @ 800% face... you'd still be gloating and antagonizing the matter
So WHAT are you sorry for... ??
...for making a mistake in interpreting my post and getting busted?
or for being spiteful and trying to manipulate perception on this Board?
There's a BIG difference.
Second, I took the liberty of checking your website and chip prices...
200% - 1000% mark-up isn't unusual for you, is it? In fact... 3x - 6x face seems the norm (more in many cases).
I'll bet you got most of the chips at face.
But I understand "business is business".
In all sincerity, I admit you have a nice website and I hope you're doing well!
However... THIS particular set (the Longhorns) was purchased by me AT THE PRICE I am offering it. No business involved at all. I'm just a fickle collector.
See... I decided not to collect LE's.
And the fact that I don't collect LE's should tell you something...
See... I am not upset or a "chipper scorned" because I missed out on some $1 chips...
I don't collect them. In fact, I wouldn't even want them.
Do you find it odd that I'm taking something that isn't even personal "so personal"?????? Hmmmmm... maybe there's something more important around here (to some of us) than just getting our chips! You think???
Tell you what Rene... I have an offer for you!
Since you're ALSO a collector (errr... or I think you are????) and you're so interested in what's "good for the hobby"...why don't we trade?
I'll send you this set (obs NV LE's in mint condition! $15.50 in face - I pay the shipping) for 25 of the new Sunset Station $1 Christmas chips.
Only there's a catch... you send 5 to Donna Karli and the other 20 to the new members that Andy has been compiling in his "Free chips" offer.
What do you think? Can we make a deal??
