may be due (in part) to the fact that these are "reserve" bids. Very nice chips, but many people don't care to "chase" reserve auctions. I think that there might be more interest if the auction(s) started at what you would take as a minimum and go from there. In the past, if I have a lot of interest in a particular chip that is on a "reserve", I e-mail the seller to ask the reserve amount and then, depending upon the seller's response, I will determine whether I want to bid on it or not. Otherwise, I'll put in a bid or two and then stop if I don't hit the reserve (as I have done on these auctions). Just my opinion. Steve B
