FACE VALUE = COST

Sell to people on the list at your costs. That's the bottom line. Paul came up with this plan to level the playing field, and one of the first rattles out of the box was HIM selling chips well above face + $1. The reason was that he had to incur costs to get the chips (from Russia). And then he divided up the costs among those who ordered, then the gouged us out of some large commissions so he could donate to PETA (Just Kidding Everyone ~ Paul's not like that). ACTUALLY, it was all-aboveboard, and everyone was happy.

I withheld joining the list for that reason. I was getting Lucky Eagle chips from a friend of mine at the casino and I had shipping cost TO me from him, insurance for the load, and a small gratuity for him. THEN I had MY shipping costs to each person, SO, selling each chip at COST was NOT face value, and so I was forced to decline until I shipped the chips. Then I joined, I misunderstood FACE=COSTS +Actual Shipping (if over$1). You are not expected to incur costs for doing US a favor by providing chips.
