I'll agree selling low value common chips on eBay isn't a great idea, but if I stand on line at the HArd Rock because I want a $25 LE, and they allow me to buy 4, I'm certainly not above selling the other 3 on eBay to recoup a little bit of the cost of this hobby. I only waste time selling $5s on eBay when I've tried to trade them for a while and can't get rid of them. A handful of those deals HAVE been helpful in figuring out how eBay "works" -- how to write ads for a response, the types of pictures that work, etc. Of course I only buy as many $5s as I think I can trade.
