Janice,

And I keep telling you that: I posted on the board several times letting people know about the Montelago. I drove out to Lake Las Vegas to casino Montelago and bought those chips. I came home and scanned those chips. I checked to make sure that Andy or Pete hadn't beaten me. I guess they went to the Palms for their new limited edition chips! I uploaded my scan of my Montelago chip and posted it as a new release! What I am saying is that I did NOTHING WRONG with the Montelago release and that was the only release I seriously tried to make a dollar on. IMO the only reason that Pete posted a message to my Montelago release that I stole his scan, is because I had scan I found on the Internet from his site. I had posted that New Orleans 2003 chip as a new release, it didn't even occur to me to post my Ebay store or try to make money when I posted this message.

I thought this was a board to share information and I did, asking nothing in return.

Pete is talking about this Ebay Store listing.

You can't hardly see the chip. I didn't even think I would sell any for several days. The only way to even see that listing is to go into my Ebay store, and as most people know only auctions drive trafic. I put that terrible scan up until I made that beautiful 6 new chip scan. Either I got a sale and I couldn't change it or it did so poorly I gave up on it.

I didn't see anyone asking questions or trying to figure out what Pete was trying to say. Someone misreads one of my auctions and attacks me for over charging on shipping. Everyone else just assumed Pete was talking about the Montelago New Release that I posted and he posted his first reply to. That is the only time I made a serious attempt to sell some new release chips and I did it all myself.
