Not everyone is familiar with Rene's business philosophies.

Not everyone is aware that there are unscrupulous eBay sellers who misrepresent fantasy chips as real and common chips as rare.

As collectors, who love chips, many are concerned when casinos, sometimes working from the advise of some dealers, limit the number of chips released to create arbritary scarcity.

My problem is not with what is said, but whith how it is said. Rudeness, name calling and invective have no place on this board.

BTW: while you were whining, you missed a couple. How about attacks on the Executive Board for any action with which the poster disagrees. Also, constant hyping of every eBay auction.

All this has been complained about for a couple of years now, with no result. I think it will change when "you know what" happens.
