a deal once. I bought a couple of chips at a great price and someone commented that it was a good buy and suddenly the seller e-mailed me that the chips were already sold. Ok, so I missed a great buy.

On another occasion I e-mailed a seller that I wanted a chip he was selling at a very low price and then posted on the chip board that I wanted the chip. Someone else posted on the board just seconds before my post and bought the chip. My e-mail was posted before his post on the board but the seller apparently did not see it so I lost the deal. OK, I didn't contest that and probably would not have done any good anyway. Live and learn. Happy Chippin'.
