Angela,

THis issue is not to this BB. And there are strong views (as you have already seen). When I do business with other collectors, I try to limit it to club members. When I deal with someone who isn't a club member, I limit my exposure significantly.

There are a number of persons here who sell and trade chips, and deal on ebay, who are very reputable. A suggestion, if you are not a member, join.

For $20, you get a great magazine, opportunity to participate in a fun convention, and you become a fellow member to a heck of a bunch of folks, who genuinely want to help, share, and encourage fellow members.

Go to www.ccgtcc.com for more info.
