I'm just a collector of illegal chips and items. It is all about the history. I have bought some chips that later have been sold at 1/2 the price. It is no big deal to me. I have never felt cheated. Each chip I have is a treasure, and I do not look at it as what it is worth, but what it means to me.

That said, I prefer trades, but have bought chips from other club members. I'm on a small fixed income, and the persons that I have dealt with have always been fair to generous. Also a big thank you to those that have given me chips and dice. You know who you are.

So from my perspective, I say live and let live.
