I like the idea of comparing it to a car being sold. That car is going to have places that cannot keep it in stock and other places that cannot give them away. This is also why I believe in looking for casino items in a different location than where they were at.

My collection is mainly Nevada items and I do not get to go there as often as I would like so I try to find things online, coin shows and antique stores. Where I am, those items do not come up that often so when I find them, I buy them. There are times I pay too much, but for the most part I get them at a bargain and do not complain.
