We all have the same stories. Some of which are many years apart. We all have great finds of chips we bought for a few bucks and also the ones we got took to the cleaners on. Up until a few weeks ago, I only sold 2 chips. I am a collector. I never intended the hobby to be a profitable business venture. Sometimes you might have to sell some chips to fund your next chipping trip. Finding a chip worth a few hundred for $5 might seem like a profitable trip.... But people sometimes don't remember all those trips that turned up nothing. And how much did it really cost after gas,hotel room, and casino loses. Some of those $200 profitable chip finds mean little then. You have to have your heart in it....after all,it is all about the find. As Steve P says "having fun".
