Not all ebay buyers are sophisticated about thechipboard.com and the public disclosures that have been made here regarding the PB chips. Unfortunately, they think they are getting a great buy ... based on now obsolete information published in out-dated reference works (including mine).

Also, now that ebay hides ebay bidder ID's ... it's impossible to warn potential bidders in advance of the situation they have fallen into. Having said that ... these bidders are still making out much better than those chippers who paid far more for their Playboy chips before the big find that was unearthed last week. These are the folks that have taken the real beating.
