I posted only because it was brought to my attention that Mike had posted my name...which happens to really be my name...unusual spelling and all. It offended me that with absolutely no proof and without ever having met me or spoken to me before Mike had the nerve to slander my ebay bidding reputation and call me a shill bidder. On ebay I do not hide behind a fictitious name, nor have I done so here. Hotmail just happens to be the email server i use because it is simpler than the one provoded by my ip. I am not a poker chip collector, know nothing about them and care even less. I made my bid for a friend that does collect, posted my maximum bids on both chips available and left it at that...it's Mike that wishes to stir the pot. And if you Are a chip collector and check Mikes auctions it does seem that he posts outdated values. When he gets called upon his deceitful ways he becomes defensive and nasty. I merely wished in my post to clear up my reputation, however, as I said....believe what you want.
