I am confused. Your ignorance spans many threads so its best I start a new one.

You failed to grasp the definition of 'fantasy chip' as stated in my post of 12 January

First you say "how people advertise them and their prices will have no effect on the prices of your chips"
Later you "reject fantasy chips as being phony crap"
Yesterday you admit to buying an item and having further items made from the same ebay seller you made the first comment about.
Minutes later you call an ebay seller to task over 'genuine' fantasy chips and "would agree that this kind of crapola does indeed hurt our hobby"

I am sorry that you suffer such memory lapses and perhaps your doctor can prescribe something for this.

Lets go back to the original argument. Neither I nor anyone else ridiculed 'fantasy chips'. Many people collect them. The problem arises when the seller misrepresents them as something else or sells out and out fakes/copies of existing ones.

The ebay seller you bought from had been castigated for doing just this. Describing fantasy chips as the real thing, faking well known genuine 'Borland' souvenir chips, and then lying about their origin when they were in fact home-made. This seller obviously has you well fooled. If you climbed into bed with your 'Gal' you would have a horrible surprise I know who he is but you dont have a clue. Looks like he striped you up - you deserve it.

Just think for a minute how you would feel if some of the 'genuine' chips you have sold were later proved to be home-made or altered in some way, like your beloved 50c Tropicana or whatever it was. Would it come as a surprise?

When you finally appear to turn the corner and make your own adverse comments on the Hilton Star Trek chips, you fail to research the facts and discover that they were genuine chips, made for the Star Trek convention in very limited numbers, sold almost exclusively to the cross collectors and not chippers, and the few that appeared on ebay at the time fetched $30-$50 a chip.

Well Capt Bungo, who are you going to be today??
