I collect ivory chips. What do you think happens when I get an offer to buy someone's chips. I check goes out to a stranger. I only wish the amounts were as low as $600.

My friend last year sent a check for $6,000 to a stranger for some chips.

BTW, since when is John Benedict a stranger. If you read any 3 randomly selected posts on this board, chances are John Benedict will have penned one. I only wish I knew the people I was sending checks to half as well as you know (from the Bulletin Board) Benedict.
