chest. I am sure I probably will irritate some people but that is life. What I am going to say is not done with any ill will or pointed at any individual. So here goes.

Slabbing: Bottom line is who cares. If I want a chip for my collection and it is in a slab, I can always break it out and put it in my collection. I don't slab chips but if I were selling a really expensive chip (which I doubt if I will ever have) and the person I was selling it to wanted to be sure it was not altered or a fake, that might be a case for slabbing. But the bottom line is, who really cares, chips can be broken out as easily as they can be put in.

Postage and Handling: P&H has gotten way out of hand in my opinion. When someone charges $3, $4 and $5 for P&H that is just too much for a single chip. I sell stuff on eBay. I usually charge $1.50 for the first item and 50 cents for each additional item. If I charge more it is because of insurance. Silver Strikes weigh more so I can understand a slight increase. These high P&H, for the most part, are just ways for the seller to get more money for the item. Sorry, that is just the way I feel.

This is a great hobby. I haven't met a person in it yet that upsets me. Most of the collectors I have known are great people. I always try to remember that they are people that have the right to say anything they want, even if I disagree with them.

Ok, I am finished. I feel better. LOL Everyone have a great day.
